My stay was quite the adventure, as the hotel was amusingly bad in many respects but still managed to provide a memorable experience. Despite the laughter, I was shocked by the room's condition, especially the damp smell and questionable cleanliness. The location was convenient, and at £50 for four people, it was pretty good value for such a unique experience, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for families seeking comfort.

Rooms

The room was very basic, had a strong damp smell, and the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. We were supposed to have two sets of bunk beds but ended up with a double bed and one bunk, and the decor was peeling and shabby.

Service

The check-in process was a bit confusing since we had to pick up keys from another hotel, but the staff were friendly and helpful during our stay.

The hotel was centrally located, making it easy to explore the area, which was definitely a plus when we were out and about.

Staying at this hotel was quite the adventure, providing a mix of both laughter and disbelief. While I appreciated the super cheap price, the overall cleanliness was a huge letdown. The bathrooms were in dire need of cleaning, and the room itself showed signs of neglect. However, if you're just looking for a place to crash without spending much, it might be worth it for a certain type of traveler, especially younger groups looking for a party scene.

My stay was filled with laughs for all the wrong reasons. The location is decent, and I appreciated that we had cold running water. However, the cleanliness and condition of the rooms left a lot to be desired. The shared bathrooms were not in the best shape, and I couldn't ignore the damp smell and overall state of the accommodations. For the price, I guess you get what you pay for, but I wouldn't recommend this place for a comfortable stay.

My stay at The Hangover Hotel was amusing in the worst possible way. On the positive side, we got cold running water, a decent electric shower, and a few laughs despite the terrible accommodations. However, the room was in disarray, with damp smells, stained sheets, and poorly maintained facilities that made it hard to enjoy the experience. For the price we paid, it was honestly only worth a night for the story.

Rooms

The room was in dreadful condition, with damp problems and stained sheets. We found a 30p coin under the pillow and the bunk bed railings were held together with white-tack.

The service was a mixed bag. The receptionist was friendly, but getting our keys at another hotel down the street took a lot of unnecessary time.

The location was good as it allowed access to nightlife, which is why we were there. However, it's not the kind of place you’d want to relax at.

Facilities were limited and poorly maintained, with broken bathrooms and very few essentials like a towel. The shared bathrooms were shocking.

I had a rather amusing experience during my stay, where the hotel was in a good location with cheap parking nearby. However, the room itself was quite a disaster—damp smells, questionable hygiene, and the bedding wasn't fresh. The atmosphere was more of a laugh than a pleasant stay, with shared bathrooms that were rather shocking. If you're looking for a budget stay and can take it lightly, this place might entertain you, but I wouldn't recommend it for comfort or cleanliness.

Facilities were minimal, with only two shared bathrooms that varied greatly in cleanliness. One needed serious sterilization.

The Hangover Hotel is definitely an experience for those looking for a wild, budget-friendly stay. With a price of just £10 a night, you get what you pay for—basic rooms and questionable cleanliness but an unforgettable laugh with friends. The location is decent, and there’s a good nightlife vibe nearby, but just be prepared for the conditions.

Rooms

The rooms are not very clean and have a distinct damp smell. The bedding seemed questionable, and I found 30p under the pillow, which felt like a lucky find rather than a good sign.

The hotel is located close to the nightlife, which is a plus if you're planning to party, but it’s a bit of a hassle to fetch your keys from a different place.

Staying at this hotel was truly an experience, though not always for the right reasons. The location was decent, and I appreciated the cheap parking nearby, which is a plus for the price. However, the condition of the room was shocking, with damp smells and unclean bedding. I laughed it off with friends, but it's definitely not a comfortable place to stay unless you have a strong sense of humor.

My stay at this hotel was quite the experience, to say the least. While I appreciated the cheap price and location, the state of the room was shocking. There was a character to the chaos with funny moments amongst my friends, but I definitely wouldn’t call it a comfortable stay. The bathrooms were shared and in poor condition, and we left feeling like we barely survived our time there.
