Leaside Hotel

On arrival, hotel site was not as expected compared to website pictures - quite run down on approach and outside the hotel. Bar and restaurant were not available either as closed. Room was quite lovely with a large en suite and sunken bath and nice bath products. Door was faulty however. Breakfast was served just outside the room (which was different but convenient). Such a shame as a wonderful venue which could offer so much more but I guess this is a sign of the times with a lack of clientele. Felt more like a B&B. Sadly, false advertising.

I don’t normally bother to write reviews, but this is possibly one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. How it’s got such high reviews/ratings is beyond me! I work in the travel industry so staying in & assessing hotels is part of the job - £100 for a night here is an absolute rip off. Dodgy car park (had to move my car for fear of it getting broken into ), drug users loitering (high security entrances tell you everything you need to know), and my room was disgusting. Walked in and immediately got hit by the smell of drains/sewage. Traffic/sirens/trains loud outside the window and everywhere grubby. Room was freezing and just the thinnest of duvets (currently shivering in middle of night with a big jumper on)…..I could go on and on. I’m sure the staff, food etc are great, as others have commented, but for me this is not somewhere I would ever return. The whole experience is quite frankly, just awful.

We went there yesterday, myself and some friends. Really lovely food. Friendly staff and a good range of drinks and cocktails. Lovely variety of Mediterranean Food but they do steaks and pizza aswell aswell. All the food looked and tasted lovely. The prices were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend a visit.
