奧爾德卡爾大廳飯店

Private hired the pool with a friend for the first time this evening. Hadn’t really done much research into the pool other than it looked like what we were after for an evening swim. I am particularly fussy about swimming pools, I have a real issue with things being clean. This, for me, was disgusting. The pool is surrounded by carpet which was soaking wet, you have to take your shoes off before going in but clearly this rule isn’t followed by everyone as there was mud on the carpet. Socks got soaked and feet then got filthy. I didn’t dare go in the toilet bare foot as the floor looked disgusting. It had a very ‘cheesy’ smell and the water didn’t look particularly clean. We got in and swam anyway, the water was fairly warm so that was a plus. There was blood in the side of the pool I noticed about half way through our swim. Getting out and changed is a mission as there’s nothing to put clothes on apart from the wet floor without being in view of the cctv camera. I couldn’t wait to get home and shower as I smelt like cheese, no other way to describe it. Won’t be going back, there are better private hire pools in the area.

First time booking the swimming pool for me and the husband to use,I suffer with bad anxiety and fibromyalgia so I thought it would be lovely to have some time to help me relax without worrying about being with other people. The place smelt of damp as soon as you walked in,the water was green and it just didn’t look a nice place at all but we went in the water eventually,we didn’t like the idea of the cctv that was operating,we felt it should of been more private - not only that but there was an office situated the other side of the window that overlooked the pool and there was a women who kept coming in and out of her room and looking into us every time she went past the window and then with being in the pool for around only 15/20 mins an elderly chap came up to the window looking into us and then proceeded to open the door and started talking to us about leaving a review,I felt this could of been done afterwards (if he felt he really needed to do it) this made me feel very uncomfortable,I did not like the feeling we were constantly being watched whether in person or on a camera. We stayed for half an hour of our hour slot,got out,dried and dressed and then left. This was a very unpleasant and stressful situation for us and we unfortunately won’t be back again.

This is without a doubt the worst place we have ever stayed. Problems started as soon as we arrived. We were emailed and told about the contactless check in and how to enter our room. Well, after locating our room in the dark we found it was locked with no way of entering. The owner went through from the house and unlocked it. We then entered a freezing cold room which had NO working heating other than an electric fire. I wasn’t aware of the central heating working during our stay The shower was a trickle that was either too hot or too cold We didn’t go to breakfast as we were already aware we were not getting hot food. So a bed and breakfast that doesn’t do a cooked breakfast. Don’t be fooled by pictures you see online. That is of their house which certainly is not a hall and not the freezing cold, mouldy accommodation they have fooled people to book.
