Stayed overnight. Paid £39 room only. For that money it was OK. No bad smells. Room clean with worn furniture but nothing broken. Electric heater so in control of heating. Picture window overlooking the river. Not luxury but, in my experience, not disgusting as previously reported. more

I am typing this in a 'cabin' at the Floatel. It smells, it took five flushes to clear the lavatory pan, the bath water does not go away for ages. The bedding is so old it is worn into holes and the blankets are really scary they are so old and matted. Breakfast was acceptable in a greasy sort of... more

I stayed at the floatel while on truck training course in Winsford. I didn't manage to stay the night. The smell was bad in the rooms. I just packed up an drove back to West Yorks and stayed at home. There is bad and bad, this was the worst more

Great idea, and probably great when new. The Floatel's location is excellent for the town centre, plenty of parking spaces and gnice views from the canal-facing rooms (it was a cold,clear frosty morning with ice on the canal.

Worst place I have ever set foot in. Smelly, dirty a definate health hazard. My partner and I lasted all of 5 mins in this place before deciding to leave. The room furniture as it was was filthy the curtains were full of cigarette burns and the bathroom and shower were filthy and smelly. If you want to find out... more

ADVICE - Find another hotel! We stayed here on July 28th 2007 for one night (thank goodness!). When we arrived at 4pm, we were told that there was a problem with the room although no-one could tell us what the problem was and that they also couldn't find the key. As we were under time constraints, we asked to be... more
