The Lismore Hotel

Absolutely disgusting place Do not bother booking Filthy dirty Electric hazard blood on curtains in bathroom Bed was awful carpets were filthy and the whole place stinks Customer service was appalling the hotel charged twice and will not respond. No body about to check out in the morning Never stayed in a place so bad in all my life. If it wasn’t so late when i arrived i would have looked for something else

What an absolute disappointment!!!! I booked last minute as a stop off to Brighton, and stayed here a few years ago and can remember it being OK.. But christ it's gone downhill... We were outside in the car park.. I the room was incredibly small, and the fridge hadn't been cleaned, there was evidence in the bathroom from the previous occupiers!!! And it was by far the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on, and I'd rather sleep in the car than there again.. We checked in and the guy on reception couldn't have more uninterested, he made us feel like a total inconvenience and in our opinion should never work with people

On arrival the receptionist was unable interested and quite rude, he gave no information. The room was small and dingey. Plug sockets were either over loaded or not working. The water pressure in the shower was non existent. The bed was the most uncomfortable thing ever, the floor, if there was space would have been more comfortable. Checking out there was not a member of staff to be found!!

At the height of this summer's heatwave, I attended the Cropredy festival and unwisely chose to book a room for the Saturday night with The Lismore Hotel, a place that makes Fawlty Towers seem like a 5-star luxury palace. No air-con. Just a rickety old fan stashed away in a closet. It gave up on me after an hour and so I was forced to attempt sleeping in the unforgiving heat. The ignorant guy on reception refused to give me access to any drinking water, despite the heat and humidity. I'm assuming this hotel had a kitchen and a tap. There was no excuse for his rudeness. The décor does not appear to have been updated since the mid-'70s. I almost gagged on the smell of stale food permeating my HOT room. The Lismore is surely due a visit from an inspector!

I travel for work and they decided to put me up in the lismore hotel for a night , first of all I work long hours so when I arrived I had no time to check in, knowing it was going to be late I rang up to check if it was okay since I was working until 11pm. They said no, was going to charge an extra £40 for a late check in which is ridiculous! Not everyone can check in straight away. So I left work and headed to the hotel, when I got there, asked to check in they said I hadn’t paid, now since this was a work trip, my company had paid and sent me 3 different confirmations but the receptionist wasn’t having it! Had to get my manager on the phone, who at the time was running a busy restaurant! I hope my company will never use this hotel ever again

Shabby, overpriced unfriendly. No bar, no atmosphere. One of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in. Do yourself a favour, pay a few quid extra, and stay somewhere that cares about people. This may have been a good place to stay a long time ago, but under its current management it's a place to be avoided.

Stayed for one night in the converted stables around the back...cheap and cheerful...very comfy,loads of hot water,plenty of tea,coffee,milk,hot chocolate..slept very well...very near to town centre which is a plus!!!

How this place is not shut down is beyond me, the damp smell hits you as you walk in, the wallpaper is peeling from the walls, STAINS everywhere, dangerous electrical fittings and a mattress that would make a park bench feel uncomfortable.

I have stayed in nicer hostels. This is the single most unpleasant ‘hotel’ I have ever stayed in. We were very late in booking accommodation for a 40th birthday party so this was the only choice we had. Dead bug squashed on the wall, dirty marks all over the walls and ceilings, the curtains aren’t hung properly, the wiring is dangerously exposed, the bed is extremely uncomfortable (cheap mattress), the bed base is dirty (and not even covered with a valance), the duvet is like a tea towel (I can’t bring myself to look as to how clean the bedding is), the dressing table looks as though it has been rescued from a skip with marks all over it and knobs missing. Really aggressive signage about smoking (I mean I detest smoking but there are ways to get your message across) and the use of hobs for cooking (I mean who brings an oven with them to a hotel?!). I’m not sure if breakfast is included but if it is I won’t be partaking. It’s 6am and I just can’t wait to get out of here. With a bit of TLC I’m sure the place could be lovely but you can see it’s just been let go and cheaply fitted out / decorated. I’d love to get my marigolds and interiors head on and sort the place out. At £70 per night, you simply must do better.
