This is one of the worst places I have ever stayed! Thick black mould in the bathroom, blood on the walls and exposed plugs. During our night the ceiling begun to leak, soaking our clothing on the floor! Water pressure in the bathroom was appalling, and the towels were clearly left from the person before us.

Poor service, bad attitude from staff, cleaners stole a load of things, turned the water supply and the electrics, purposefully tried to change code for the door I wouldn’t stay in this hotel ever again. The staff are very poor and they need to work on their customer service skills in front of paying customers

Hotel placed in the middle of a run down area. Very noisy for a family with young children. Was not informed there was a wedding was going on during our stay. Advised them it wasn’t suitable and that we didn’t want to stay. No refund. Still charged cancellation fee.

This accommodation is more suited to contractors, we have stayed here 3 years running at first the cost was reasonable, but obviously, the cost has to rise as years go on.£65 for a poor standard room ,we couldn't flush the toilet even lifting the cistern lid. How do you manage to use the hairdryer when there is no mirror adjacent to the plug socket? No mirror in the room other than the bathroom? Unfortunately we will be looking elsewhere for 2024 NY Eve

Loud music in bar and could be heard from first floor room, Shower awful ie cold....no heating in room. Yes cheap but not worth it. Awful location .......quite scary .......staff were helpful to start but then did not care. Wrote a honest review and they did not like it, so asked me to re submit as i told the truth. Would not recommend two women to go on their own. Nobody on reception on checking out, and they lied to say there was.......so no one there to help. Whole place needs refurbishment......very poor but i can say clean. Will never stay there again but the hotel owner has said would not let me stay again.......so no loss there........so their comments show how awful they were. I have a right to speak the truth and let others know..

Found the whole experience of staying here awful. So out dated, noise that went on all night, through to morning. No one seemed to have any respect for anyone else. Dogs barking, people shouting Bathroom was mouldy and walls were dirty. No breakfast was provided, nor could we find any staff on the morning we left. Will definitely not be staying here again. AVOID AT ALL COST

I went to Barrow with friends to watch a midweek football match my team were playing there and wanted a reasonably priced place to drop my stuff and come back to after a few beers and the game. The Ambrose did the job fine for us. The bed was comfortable, the shower was good and easy to work and the room clean. My expectations weren't high but I was pleasantly surprised, as a bonus after the game we came back to the bar and they had 2 pretty decent real ales on amongst the plethora of exotically named chemically manufactured fizz. It's not too far from the station though not in a very scenic part of town. They don't do food so went elsewhere for breakfast. If you want a clean, budget hotel as we did this place fits the bill, it's all about expectations.
