Cymer Abbey

Firstly it’s worth noting the 1 night stay cost £31.50 so I don’t expect a 5 star hotel. Check-in was quick and easy and the room was warm & clean. The bed was comfy although I always take my own pillow which helps. To be honest the room is tired and in need of some maintenance; door lock difficult to operate, windows don’t close properly allowing traffic and wind noise in, desk fan with no front guard, shower rail broken, badly stained shower curtain. On the up side there is a kettle with tea & coffee, fridge, and TV. I can’t comment on the breakfast because I left at 05:00. I wouldn’t take the duchess (wife) but, at that price, I’d definitely stay again.

stayed for 2 week while working away from home, Comfortable rooms and good facilities. pool and gym very very handy

Communications pre booking were Poor, I wasn’t sent the deposit link so had to phone and ask, wasn’t sent check in details so had to phone and ask, they then arrived at 3.01pm on the day (check in is from 3) Property could really do with some improvements, paintwork dirty with lots of bare patches, to open the skylight you had to climb on your bed (and there was no other openable window) the bathroom had no toilet roll holder, no shelf for your toiletries, the shower had no shelf for toiletries, and there was no mirror in the bedrooms so you couldn’t see to dry your hair. They have also positioned the smoke/heat alarm directly over the cooker so that was set off twice when I was cooking breakfast and opened the oven! Otherwise it was reasonably equipped, and comfortable, some basic kitchen amenities like salt and pepper wouldn’t go amiss either though. A very small amount of money spent would elevate these apartments considerably. Good location though, really close to town and some nice bars, and convenient for both stations.
