The Pickering Park Hotel

Amazing value for what you pay for that's for sure! Clean rooms, diverse continental breakfast. Paul was super welcoming! Check in closes at 8pm so make sure you let them know you will arrive later than that. I was working next day 8 min away by car so location was great.

My advice? Stay somewhere else. This is not a hotel, this is a hostel. There’s no staff on site, there’s long term guests who frequent the ‘reception’ (kitchen) who are noisy and make things uncomfortable (we checked in and they were drinking in the kitchen). There’s 2 (or 3, can’t remember) rooms off of the kitchen area, like you open the room door into the kitchen, so given that these long term guests are always in the kitchen, it just makes it extremely awkward getting to your room, and they also are up early and late, so you can hear them all the time. Room 4 was absolutely freezing, the carpet was cold and there was no info on how to get the heating on, so I had to call up on Christmas Day to ask what to do, as if I couldn’t have heated that room I would have left and drove back to Manchester, it was that cold. Turns out the rooms aren’t individually heated, you have to turn the thermostat on in the corridor. I ended up having to swap rooms with my brother who was upstairs. The lamp in room 6 does not work, it just flickers, the shower is honestly the worst I’ve had, I’ve had stronger water flow in a jungle in the middle of Thailand… it took me 20 minutes just to wash my hair. Also, the soap in the rooms and in the toilets is a bar of soap, personally find it a bit disgusting that multiple people are touching the same bar of soap, replace it with hand soap? Anyway, we decided to check out early even though we paid for 2 nights, would rather lose the money than stay in what feels like a hostel.

I accidentally locked myself out in the night and the gentleman who came to help was very understanding despite havjng being woken up. The breakfast choice was incredible. Great value for money

The room was decent for the price, bed was comfy, included shower, good storage was available. However my issues was mainly with the cleanliness of the bathrooms as the upstairs toilet was covered in urine stains amongst other stains. The kitchen is okay as it provides a few selection of food but the was no coffee and the milk provided had gone off and was chunky. Overall it was okay but wouldn’t be my first recommendation unless it’s a last minute booking.
