The rooms were relatively smaller and over priced, there were no tea making facilities in room or common area, the TV had no signal. Shower pan was flooded when having shower and the hose was leaking at the shower head and hose interface. It is the customer's responsibility to inform the Hotels.com website of any issues experienced otherwise these issues shall continue for future customers at the Craven Hotel.

Paid £70 for a double bed. You would think with a double bed that the room would be a reasonable size. It was a single room and you couldn't swing a cat. It had a private bathroom, again not big enough. The room was very worn, marks on the wall. Bed was okay but overall I would not stay here again.

If I were 20 years old again and traveling with friends, this hotel would have been fine. The rooms were extremely small and I couldn't even turn around in the shower. Young people wouldn't mind; I did.

The room was not cleaned properly- there is drink bottles and cups and trash under the bed and behind the headboard. Hot water takes 5 min to start, no floor towel for the bathroom so you come out of the shower to wet tiles, heating cranked up to maximum so we had to have the window open all night as you can't reach the gauge to close the radiator behind headboard, mattresses way too soft to sleep on so you just sink in, poor quality pillow and carpet looked like it hasn't been vacuumed in a while. No glass provided so you have to either buy water or drink from your hand over the sink, shower too small and hight not adjustable, no hairdryer, only small pouch shampoo provided. Will never stay there again. For the price they didn't even provide essential.

Filthy, cold, bedding and towels smelled of damp. One one, very thin (and smelly) pillow. The dust falling out of the extractor fan in the bathroom when in use left a cover of thick grey particles over the sink and toilet. Only one towel and no bath mat (floor got wet from the shower, so was slippery) small sachet of shower gel was all that was provided. Absolutely no care taken of the room.

Checked-in to the room and it was dirty. Was moved to another room which was also dirty. The night person didn't seem to care or understand. I have photos (over 20 in total) and I am going to complain to the hotel. Absolutely shouldn't have stayed there it was that dirty but didn't have a choice as was in the area for work.

I booked a "deluxe double" room, which was smaller than the interior of a minibus. The paintwork on the walls was falling off, mould in the bathroom. The springs in the mattress could be felt just by touch, never mind sitting or laying on the bed. The room was not soundproof, traffic, pedestrians and birds could be heard out of the window and the blind was non adjustable, so no natural light was let into the room. No towels, soap, toiletries, kettle, cups, tea coffee etc were in the room, although towels were available if we asked nicely at reception. There was a fridge, although we didnt use it. A very small wardrobe, big enough for 3 coats and a couple of pairs of footwear, but you had to climb over the bed to get to one side of the bed, as the wardrobe obscured the access to that part of the room. The "ensuite" was small, 2ft wide by 6ft long, you needed to pivot to sit on the toilet seat. No mention on the website of a cost to use the luggage room, £12 for 2 cases, the receptionist demanded to see our phone for booking receipt. A receipt that was sent to a temporary email address. It claimed we had until 3pm the following day to leave our luggage, yet the following day, we encountered a problem as the same receptionist refused to allow our luggage back into the room, saying our booking was for "one day only". A story which changed twice, from 1 day, to 24hrs, to the day you checked in only. A very poor experience and i would discourage anyone from using this hotel.
