AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!1 star is too much. First impressions were that the building was falling apart, which rang alarm bells. Initial impressions were proven correct when we found that the door was locked with no lights on, and no answer on the phone. Asked at the bar over the road if the place was still open, to which they replied they thought so but staying there was putting your life at risk. They had recently booked a band in to stay there and all of their belongings were stolen from their rooms, as apparently this hotel is often used as a homeless hostel, and many of the rooms cannot be locked.But, as we couldn't even get in, this seemed like a lucky escape! Had to book in to the Mercure round the corner last minute, and i would recommend anyone reading this does the same. Walked past the Silurian at least 10 times over the weekend at various times of day and it was clearly still closed.Reading other reviews here, it looks like we aren't the only people who had these troubles. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Firstly when we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by locked sliding doors and a hand written sign to call a mobile number. Once we had done this we were then in the reception area. …

This hotel is now CLOSED. Do not arrive or book as we did yesterday to find it locked and shut down, having to shell out more money for another hotel. None of the contact options were available and their phone number just rang with no answer to their messages.|Again, this hotel is CLOSED. DO NOT BOOK.

DON’T stay here. Staff STOLE from my room.This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. When I arrived the member of staff who checked me in was very unfriendly and the whole place was very run down. What was also unnerving was that I seemed to be the only guest. I was staying for work (the hotel was in a convenient location) and when I returned to my room after work I noticed some of my belongings were missing and there was a keycard in the light switch thing next to the door. I went to reception to explain what happened and ask why there was a mysterious keycard in my room, and they replied that they liked to go into the rooms whilst people were out to make sure the lights are on for when they got back (?!?). And they denied stealing items from the room even though they admitted entering the rooms whilst unattended. A total breach of privacy. After confronting the staff I felt like I was being watched so I quickly booked a nearby hotel and packed up my things and put them in the car before anything else could be stolen. After speaking to work colleagues from the local area, they said that the hotel had a terrible reputation and it should be avoided at all costs. Please, if you’re thinking of booking this, find somewhere else. I can’t stress enough how uneasy I was made to feel after being stolen from and my personal space being invaded whilst I wasn’t in the room.
