Mandolay Hotel, Guildford

[croyde]

Going to a mate's do in the area tonight and did not fancy having to leave early for the last train home. Hotels seemed limited but I booked a room at the Mandolay.

Just been looking at Trip Advisor and almost all the reviews rate it as a damp bed bug ridden sthole with rude staff.

Mysteriously you get the odd 5 stars from people saying it's the best place they have ever stayed in.

Did they stay in the same place?

Ah well, I'll find in a a few hours, gulp!

How do I stand about witholding payment, made by credit card yesterday, if I am not happy?

Cheers.

if you get bitten by bed bugs whilst staying there and you can prove it you can easily take them to court for many £100,000's+ for the pyschological damage it has done to you, cant sleep in own bed any more etc etc blah blah!!

SO? How was it?

It always looks very nice from the outside, and usually the carpark has more porsches/mercedes etc than normal cars you'd find at a travel lodge..

Ive stayed at the Mandolay a few times, ok really nothing spectacular nothing that bad.

Last time i drove by there was a group of lads hanging about outside who were pretty chavtacular!

It was fine. Room tiny about 2m x 2m with a tiny shower/toilet tacked on and some bd had a telly blaring away all night but it was clean.

Original price of room was supposedly £140 but there would have been no way that I would have paid that. Got it for £49 on late rooms and it was not worth a penny more.

They wanted a tenner for brekky so went to McDs instead.

Not sure about these Trip Advisor reviews. I suspect that all the bad ones are from rival hotels.
