I don't leave negative reviews but on this occasion, this is to save anyone going through what we did. Bed bugs, toilet flushed out onto to garden! Unbelievable but honestly it was disgusting. The hotel itself looks lovely, dainty and welcoming but that's about it. No refund or acknowledgement but offered me 5% off for the next booking. No thanks!

There is no sign outside to say it is the Godalming Hotel, the exterior is very uninviting. The smell of stale food and oil hits you when you enter the building. The receptionist hardly said a word to me, she didn't show me to my room. The room had a smell of body odour, the bathroom door had been punched in. There were no curtains and the blind didn't work. You couldn't open the window to let fresh air in as there was a pond with swamp like water in which stank as bad. Very poor customer relations.

Faulty Towers

First impressions ; disappointed at the amount of litter in the private carpark. No sign to tell us it was the godalming hotel. Generally speaking the whole building was a work in progress it was an unfinished hotel not fit for guests. Hotelier accessed our room every to empty bin but did not change bedding or hoover the floor or change towels in the bathroom. No latch on window.

You get what you pay for SADLY...

Just dirty and no fans for rooms or fridges, parking in back was all littered. Folks running the pace just didn't care...In fact when. I went to checkout I knocked on the STAFF doo and seem to have woke them up as the guy answered half naked and just said "throw keys on table" and closed the door in front of me...

Door ajar

Lovely little hotel However the room was very hot over night and we found this morning that our door was ajar open. We instantly blamed each for not locking the door but turns out the latch from the inside doesn’t lock.

Not quite as awful as some of the reviews

Despite the awful reviews I booked the Godalming hotel as we only needed a room for the night. Expectations were low but it marginally exceeded them. Room was clean and basic. It was a very warm night and there was constant conversation going on outside my window. The room served its purpose but won't be back.

Yes it was cheap and i was aware of the shared bathroom facilities. The room was a reasonable size and it was clean enough, though dated. I can accept the confusion about whether or not breakfast was included as I had made other arrangements. But an absolute minimum for any overnight stay is being able to sleep; to have a bed so lumpy you cannot sleep more than a couple of hours defeats the purpose of hiring a room. A comfortable mattress would have made all the difference between a stay that could have been good for the price and one that was actually awful.

We did not stay because this is place was unsafe, we have taken pictures and would like to share with you. This is far the worst place I have seen, We were on the ground floor and our window handle was broken off and therefore the window was always open. The window was very dirty and cobwebs hanging outside. The window was broken. This room is not fit to be offered for people to stay, it is a total disgrace and Expedia should not offer this hotel. Expedia should not be linked to Hotel because you will business. I had to find another hotel and pay a larger price because we need a hotel on the spot. Please let me know where you would like our pictures to be issued?
Broken window, no handle and window permanently open on the ground floor
Broken window blind and very poor quality
This was our view from the room, very dirty windows which you may not be able to see clearly

The staff were non existent the bathroom was in a state in which I have never seen in a hotel before my son got stuck in the shower because the door was faulty on the website it says that it does food and it has free cancellations neither of these are true also the state of the exterior is horrendous the paint is peeling off and the actual sign on the building has only 2 letters left on it I will never be staying there again and I strongly advise you to stay elsewhere

No welcome and smelly room

There were no lights on outside the property and therefore hazardous. I arrived at 22.15 after work to be told that they close at 22.00. Im not sure what I was supposed to do with this information except to feel unwelcome. The room itself was fine. However there was a dreadful smell in the bathroom which still persisted the following day

The entrance hall smelt strongly of food. One room had a loud buzzing noise in it when we entered. Turned out to be the wall mounted combined hairdryer/shaver socket, which wasn’t near a mirror, so badly sighted. While the room had tea/coffee facilities, all double power sockets were badly located so difficult to use. The kettle had to be used behind a bed on the floor and a second kettle base was present for that!! The bathroom mirror was hung by one hook only which was totally inadequate and at risk of being knocked off if caught when drying yourself. On investigation of the security of the mirror, live wires were found behind, made safe only by an electrical terminal block, which had exposed live parts!! The other room had a damaged blind which didn’t shut the light out and was on the ground floor. In addition, 4 beeps were heard every minute throughout the night. When this was raised to the member of staff in the morning, the response was “oh yes, it has been doing that for the last 2 months!” On the morning of the first full day there was no hot water available to either room and to other guest rooms. . As of 1200 on that day the hot water had not been fixed. It was working again by 1900. Other issues identified included no hand towel provide, missing toilet role holder and sharp wall fixing, windows that didn’t sound like they were closed, poorly fitted door furniture and limited car parking.

Parking is a nightmare if you do not get one of the 3 spaces out the front. Tiny access road, small car width is about manageable but there’s bulk bags & household waste left out which makes it worse.
