THE RATHMORE

Booked the comfort triple room with private bathroom, on arrival we were shown to a twin room and a single room, without private bathroom. When we quieried this the barman said they don’t have triple rooms with private bathrooms so I showed him the booking I made along with this room still being advertised. He went away and returned stating he could not do anything as the manager wasn’t available, therefore, we had no option but to stay in rooms we had not booked. Shared kitchen was dismal, one mug for the whole 9 rooms, shared bathroom was unclean with poor shower, other shared bathroom was also unclean with a shower that did not work. Pub itself was ok, barman was as helpful as he could be but we would not return and would not recommend

It was too noisy because our room was on the side of the street and the club customers were smoking and talking into 1am on Saturday night while the traffic was very busy. Sunday night was better because it was closed early and less traffic. The room was clean but the restroom was not.

Fair price and good location

The listing did not reflect at the time of booking that the room is above a pub which was quite noisy, or that the bathroom was shared with other guests. There was no microwave in the room as indicated on the listing, or private capacity for making cuppas.

Cheapest option we could find and we had everything we needed. It's above a members only club but there's a separate entrance for the rooms, just once you check-in at the bar, you can come and go as you please.

Arriving at 3.30 we had to fight our way to the bar of this Irish club to check in (it happened to be St. Patrick's Day !) The barmaid did come and show us our room however, a triple with 3 single beds. It was very cold and the radiator stayed stone cold until at least 7 p.m. and was cold in the morning when we were getting up. The room was very basic and there was no waste paper bin. The TV didn't work - the aerial wire was just hanging loose - and there were 2 wide steps down from the door to enter the room with no rail to hold. The 2 beds we used were fairly comfortable. The third sagged. The bathroom nearest our room had no extractor fan so was smelly at times. Good points:The kitchen was well equipped and everything was very clean. Managed to park outside and it was convenient for Papworth Hospital where I was headed in the morning but the worst room I have stayed in for many years and would not recommend.
