Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Alington House is frequently praised for its clean and well-equipped rooms, often including a shower, toilet, smart TV, kettle, and refrigerator, offering great value for money. The hotel is conveniently located, with the city center reachable in about 35-40 minutes on foot, a walk lined with shops and restaurants, and bus stops right outside the house. While some guests in ground-floor rooms facing the road have noted a lack of privacy due to traffic and customer parking close to the windows, many find the overall experience very comfortable. Guests also appreciate provided amenities such as fridges and fans.

poorly fitted curtainshumming noise
The twin downstairs room i got faced a ridiculously busy road. Privacy was practically nonexistent. dark curtains were poorly fitted around the bay window, so i had them shut all day because customer parking was right up against the windows. i also had to switch off the fridge at night because it hummed so loudly, it disrupted my sleep. it could use better soundproofing or something.

clean roomcomfortable beduseful fridgenarrow stairsbusy roaddark curtains
The room was very clean. The bed was comfy, SO comfortable. The shower had hot water. I found the fridge in the room very useful.
The stairs were narrow, it WAS difficult to carry the luggage up. I found the room on the ground floor facing a busy road. The dark curtains did not offer enough privacy, the cars parked right by the window.

The thin walls meant I heard every conversation outside. The noise from other rooms was too much. The bathroom lacked proper ventilation. Also I found hairs in the shower. I expected better cleanliness for the price I payed.
