I was 4 weeks in the palms hotel for 38€ incl. Breakfast + Tax. They have an Internet connection and the Nightclub is not so loud. You can't find a hotel in England for that price with this service. more

I booked accommodation and also the banqueting suite for a convention for my business, (approx 65 people) I did not realise the comments that were on here and had already viewed the hotel and paid my deposit. My first impression of the hotel had ample parking spaces, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were modern and... more

Our coach group stayed for one night before the London Marathon. I was dreading the stay due to the previous reviews. I had requested a quiet room and we did get the furthest room from the main entrance and one overlooking the inner grass courtyard. So it was quiet.

So many terrible things, where do I begin. 1)Calling home next to impossible.

From indifferent staff to closure of restaurant because they were hosting a wedding function, running through unsafe shower unit, foul smelling bed linen and being woken twice by fighting yobs - this is a hotel to avoid. For less you can stay at a clean chain hotel and eat out. more

I stayed at the Palms Hotel at the weekend as I was attending a function there and was not looking forward to it after having read the reviews on this site. I found that the hotel was by no means luxurious but was clean and comfortable with polite and helpful staff. Our room was perfectly acceptable for the price with... more
