Negative Reviews

negative:

A thorough cleaning is needed top to bottom.

Time and again when researching this hotel people will find the same complaint: more time needs to be spent cleaning the guestrooms. Several reviews focus on dusty surfaces and dirty fabric on the furnishings that put a lot of people off from fully enjoying their stay.

negative:

Property is in dire need of refurbishment.

When it comes to the decor and furnishings throughout the Bell Hotel, many guests feel the accommodation is in need of a complete overhaul. Guestrooms are really outdated, especially the private bathrooms that are in need of modernisation to match expectations.

negative:

Included breakfasts are not the best experience.

Although morning meals don’t cost extra, the overall experience is not the best for many people. Food generally takes a long time to be delivered to the table, and once it is then small portions and overcooked items make many people wish they had gone out instead.
