We mistakenly booked a single room instead of a double at this hotel. The OYO website was unclear, and their customer service was horrendous. They refused to offer a refund and provided incorrect information over the phone. …

The hotel is being renovated. The whole hotel is looking good. The room we stayed in was very nice and quite big. The room could have done with a bigger TV and bed. The bed was a double,we are use to a king,so we had real trouble sleeping. I gave up and slept on the floor on the thick duvet. If you're use to a big bed or on the bigger size you may have a problem. The breakfast was good with loads of choice. I would recommend this hotel. Maybe phone up about a bigger bed??

Booked the oyo imperial, drove 3 hours with my pregnant wife and a baby only for them to tell me they had shut for maintenance, no other explanation. Got the door shut in my face. Awful. 0 stats. Also it looks like it belongs in Beirut

Images used to advertise rooms are outdated. The hotel is tired and not very clean. Constant noise of the traffic throughout both nights and the town clock rang throughout the night and the early hours of the mornings.The staff were friendly but the breakfast was inedible. The quality of ingredients used were substandard. There is no excuse to serve anaemic eggs, the yolks were grey in colour. The sausage was highly processed, the meat was of poor quality and the mushrooms tasted off. This was all prepaid for and not cheap so very disappointing. Left for days before a supervisor bothered to contact me. After speaking with 4 members of staff, I was told to send an email! Supervisor didn’t bother to call just emailed refusing to issue a refund or offer any good-will gesture. Genuinely appalling service from senior staff. Really let the OYO reputation down.

First time ever using the OYO Chain of Hotels.I hadn't been to Barrow in over 50 years and my recollection of it is, to say the least, nonexistent.Train journey into Barrow was uneventful, reminded me of a journey from London to Cambridge, yep it rained a bit then.An easy fifteen minute walk from the station.The OYO Imperial Hotel is opposite the impressive Town Hall or rather it's car parkReception was a breeze but I don't understand filling out forms when you've done all of it online during the booking process, can we just stop this bureaucracy and official "fake" rubbish.My journey to my room was by lift, which beeped, no, it more like squealed a beep after you summoned it! Lazy, I took it to the first floor. The Imperial may well have been a modern and exemplary place to stay when it was first built but frankly it's interior is like a Municipal Office Building that has been renovated into a Hotel. A maze of firedoors and extremely hot corridors. You may ask what do I mean by hot? I mean the radiators were all on full bore, I mean HOT as in the Amazonian Jungle, HOT! I got to the room after navigating my way up and down stairs.Surprise the door was open, I don't mean in an inviting way, the door was open as in not closed or locked. This was to occur the next day after the room service staff had done their cleaning and straightened the bedding. Oh!There was a sachet of body wash on the towels. This wasn't replenished through my stay. There was fittings on the wall of the bathroom for washing products but no bottles of products.The room itself had a standard queen. Wallpaper had torn patches and for art on the walls was two Modigliani prints.The usual tea/coffee paraphernalia, kettle and two mugs. Kettle was temperamental had to be coaxed into action. No hairdryer in the room but you just ask for one at the desk.I suppose you get what you pay for 3 days discounted by £69 down to approx 40 quid a day.Book it for yourself and see!

Our first room was not the best, huge sash windows aren't safe as open wide and straight onto the road, and the radiator was broken and stuck on full. The room we were moved to was much better. Nice facilities in the room, friendly and helpful receptionist.

This is really a contractors hotel, not suitable for kids/ families etc, it's a cheap renovation of an old building, cleaning / upkeep is lacking: long black dirty marks on walls throughout rooms, even on ceiling from workers, TV not working in my room, lift not working, extremely grubby communal carpets on all levels.And also they write down your card details for damage deposit but don't check your room with you as you check out, meaning they have your card details.One thing I particularly didn't like is that they ask for "card to authenticate booking", I asked why as its paid in advance?? She then said its damage deposit. Proper dodgy.In normal hotels this is done on card machine and is refunded after three days, this is a very poor service.Hotel of last resort.

TerribleReception was the only presentable part at the hotel.Bar with no draft desire there being pumps.£3.50 for a can of Guiness that you could have bought from the shops.Carpet is knackered throughoutAll I smelled was cigarettes before I went to sleep and when I woke up 🤮Very tired roomsI had to search over 3 floors to find an iron and board.Both had seen better daysCorridors smelled bad stale.Sash windows totally shot away and frankly not fit for purpose.Desk space was pointlessly smallThis place needs a lot of money spending on it to bring it to an acceptable level.No where near a 4 star, not even a 2!Wouldn’t bother
