Guesthouse Ashfield Hotel (Huddersfield, United Kingdom)

The reviews of this hotel were not generally good ones. Those that were less critical tended to repeat the mantra "you get what you pay for". The nightly rates by all accounts are very good. Guests with any budget were able to stay here without experiencing any great financial set back.

Guests were pleased with the size of the rooms. They had no shortage of space to spread out and to store their belongings.

From the hotel it is just a 15 minute walk into the city centre. Guests were happy to be able to park their car in the free on-site lot and walk to wherever they needed to go. They found that the city had plenty to do and see, with lots of shops, restaurants, and local attractions.

Reviews sited a number of issues with the cleanliness of their room. Complaints included excessive dust, musty smells, stains on the linens, mold, rust, and other people’s belongings left in the room. Many guests choose to check out and stay elsewhere without a refund after seeing their room.

Guests generally reported the rooms to be shabby and worn down. They found issues with many of the fixtures and appliances. Some examples include ceiling fans not working, furniture falling apart, window sashes broken, and shower floors collapsing.

Many guests were surprised to find out on their arrival that their room was located in the basement. Those that stayed in basement rooms lamented the obvious lack of natural light. They were kept awake by the sound of footsteps upstairs throughout the night, and bothered by the ringing phone upstairs as early as five in the morning.
