I stayed at Hotel 82 for 2 nights, on the very first night after I checked in (room 404) I noticed a few things wrong with the room:
- Damaged/ripped wall paper (looked like a cat had been ripping the paper off the wall)
- Damaged heating controls for the electric heater
- Cracked tiles all over the en-suite
- Mould build up around the shower screen and other parts of the bathroom
I was quite disappointed at the level of damage so the room, but I soon realised that was the least of my problems.
That night I managed less than 3 hours sleep due to the amount of noise coming off the main road, it honestly sounded like I was sleeping on the street, the windows didn’t barrier any noise!
I messaged Hesham first thing and mentioned the sleeping issues, I asked to be moved to another room, he was reluctant to do anything about it, he said they were fully booked and that he wouldn’t be able to move me, after going back and forward he’s concluded by telling me to speak with reception.
The receptionist was able to move me to a rear of the property room which I expressed how grateful I was, however this took them over 2 hours to do.
The new room was much bigger and had absolutely no noise pollution, this was completely night and day from room 404, unfortunately I got comfortable in the room and realised that the new room had the same standard of cleanliness, the only difference being the mould was twice as worse as the first room.
I did eventually manage to have a good night sleep in the second room, the beds were comfortable and clean, it’s a shame because this hotel has so much potential, but as it stands I would not recommend staying, you can find better value for money elsewhere.
