Upon arrival there was alot of young people hanging around outside which gave it a hostel type feeling. "The movie hostel"Was pleasantly suprised when entering our room as it was no where near as bad as we thought.The owners where very nice and helpful when needed.Overall you get what you pay for.

The worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Booked one night with my partner and our 3 children. We arrived around 3/4pm, the enternace to the hotel was very grim, hallway had an awful smell and there was absolutely no one there to check us in, there was a couple of lads hanging about outside - one of rang someone to come and let us in our room. The people who run the hotel have quite a large dog, which they would never put away in a diffrent room while we were around and my children were very nervous. The room, where do I ever start?! Awful smell, mould and dust everywhere, beds stank and were very uncomfortable, tea stained cups, no teabags, milk or spoons provided, hairs everywhere, no remote for the TV, the toilet/shower was in the hallway just opposite our room it was absolutely disgusting- mould everywhere, none of us would of even considered showering it was that filthy, plus we werent even provided any towels. The worst part of it all was while we were asleep in bed all we could hear was something clawing away and scurrying about in the ceiling, kept us awake most of the night as my children were frightened. I actually don't know how we managed a full night here, I couldn't wait to get out the place. I honestly don't know how on earth this place is allowed to be open! I am someone who sees a hotel as just somewhere to sleep but the standards of this place are so low, I just couldn't of not left a bad review as people seriously need to avoid this place like the plague!!!!

as soon as i walked in there was a small child that instantly called me a bender and shoved his rocket lolly pop down my throat. woke up in the middle of the night to a random guy massaging my back with sweet chilli sauce, and as good as it felt, dont think i should be waking up to that at 2:23am. the

Booked a room here for a stag do so didn't expect much, we turned up at 3pm check in to a grim hallway that was filthy and stunk.no one there apart from the few dodgy looking fellas selling stuff on the wall at the front. We rang the number and the fella seemed surprised we were checking in as he wasn't there. All of a sudden a different fella in a tracksuit and flipflops ushered us to his hotel across the road (the Adina)I cannot describe the disappointment when I walked into our room. Im quite certain someone was living in our room by the smell and I wasn't keen on the tobacco and skin flakes in my bed. Don't forget the sock over the fire alarm and no running hot water so expect cold showers. With the ceiling caving in in the vile shared bathroom.Absolutely do anything in your power to avoid either of these hotels unless you enjoy a view of boarded up windows smashed up cars and drug dealers in the morning. Absolutely disgusting place

The room was cold and very basic no handle on window, so you couldn't close it, no hot water in room sink was painted with white gloss. You have to share toilet and shower in hallway. Tiles broken on front steps as you go into the hotel, which is very dangerous when it rains, as they are very slippery NO disability equipment. They don't serve any food at all, you can't take any food in (supper ie... pizza or kebab anything else) when you come bk in from a night out.

Would have to pay me to stay here again.We had a double room and a family room, both equally as bad as each other. Double room had a sink that for reasons not known to me had been painted. Parts of some walls had wallpaper on and everything looked like it had several licks of paint. Both rooms had residential flies, don't think the flies were paying to stay though. Bed was uncomfortable and unlevel so felt like you were sleeping on a hill, pillows might as well of not existed. The "furniture" in the room looks like it was pulled from a skip and painted with several coats of gloss type paint. Windows must be the original windows from when the property was built. Woke up in the middle of the night to find a cockroach climbing the wall beside my head. The lock on the toilet door was a outside gate lock. The walls are paper thin, you can hear everything. We paid over £200 for two nights for 4 adults and 5 kids, not sure if this is classed as cheap but I wouldn't stay here again even if it was free.Some tips if you do decide to stay.Bring your own;Pillows, blankets, sheets. Ideally bring a mattress with youWaterFly sprayCurtainsEar defendersKeep clothes locked away and off the floor to avoid unwanted "guests"Walk on the road when in the street as the pavement is piled with dog waste.Have fun!

We stayed at what was meant to be the galloway/Brisbane hotel but was taken over the road to a complete different hotel. And the nightmare started there!! …

It was not just poor it was Very Very POOR - POOR in capital letters! The whole place was a complete mess - smelly, untidy and full of moulds! We were given a double room fit for single! The water in the wash hand basin in the room was having a strong odour.Also, there was a lot of disturbance with no privacy because we kept on having unknown people struggling with our door handle for reasons best known to them.Furthermore the bed sheet was full of stains which showed it wasn't changed, we have to get them to replace it!Because of all the above, we were forced to check out the next day forfeiting three days money we paid! It is my considered opinion The Galloway is not fit a place for my pet dog Jack!Mercy.

We were disappointed from the get go, we originally booked the The Galloway for 1 night and were moved to The Adina across the road. The owner wasn't there, she left her poor son in charge and he'd only been there a week and didn't really know much, I felt really sorry for him. The room definitely wasn't worth the £117 we paid. The bathroom was atrocious as the toilet leaked, the mirror was broken, there was dirty water behind the sink taps and the shower barely dribbled. As for the room the bottom bunk bed slats were not attached, the tv bracket was hanging off the wall,there was dirt on the inside of the bedside cabinet, black masking tape around the window, the window wouldn't open unless banged on the frame, water rain down the wall when it rained, also there was no means of escape if there was a fire apart from the front door but we were on the top floor. These premises definitely do not reflect the status as hovel let alone hotel. It should never have been allowed to open without being 100% functional. We will definitely never stay there again and will not be recommending this place to anyone. If I could have given a zero star I would have done so.
