Pembury Hotel - London, United Kingdom 

One of the worst hotels ever been to
Posted: Mon, Jun 30 2008
It is one of the worst hotels I've ever been to. Apart from the fact that it was not very clean, and that the breakfast was just bread and cheese, we had a leak in our room at 3am, we had to have our room changed and they gave us a room with no heating that looked like a horror movie. It is cheap, but even if they paid me I would not return there.

Don't go there! Ever!

Honestly, I never was in hotel which was so terrible like this one. First of all the district. We arrived there around 9.00 pm and I already had to hold my suitcase AND my girlfriend like both would be stolen in the next 2 minutes. Anyway, the hotel does not look THAT bad from outside, but as soon as you walk into the reception and especially when you get into your room, you will notice... how should I say this in the most nicely way... that this hotel is crap. The door is like a thin wooden board with a lock that even an old lady in the wheelchair could break. The bathroom is like one of these old scary rooms in a bad horror movie. Or no wait, in a good horror movie, because it is really scary. And if you have the big luck to get a room on the street side, you can stop counting the police horn after a hour, because you won't be able to count it anymore. Its also great to hear a "GIVE ME YOUR [--] MONEY" once an evening. After the first night we ran out of this hotel and looked for another one and believe me, it is worth it. oh and btw for god's sake, I don't wanna know what they did with my teethbrush. yark.. I had to buy a new one.

Never Again!

My brother, sister and I stayed at the Pembury for 3 nights in January. We were attending a family funeral and wanted to stay somewhere close to my aunt. We had the impression that the hotel had been refurbished but if it was then it was done circa 1970. First impressions are shocking but once inside the staff were friendly and very helpful. My sister and I had a twin room on the ground floor at the back of the hotel. The room was tiny and very grotty, the bathroom wasn't much better. Our door was very fragile and it could have been opened very easily, we slept with our suitcases and a chair up against it. We had clean sheets and towels but that was the best of it. Breakfast was in a sister hotel around the corner and consisted of cornflakes, something that looked like muesli, white bread which you toasted yourself and some plastic cheese. Take my advice, spend a bit extra and go somewhere else!

Dive of dives

This place truly is a dive, and I say that having stayed in plenty of cheap and cheerful places in my time. From the front it looks tacky but OK. On arrival I was told (in barely comprehensible English) that there were no double rooms, despite the fact we had booked over two weeks before. I was then shown through the car park to another building at the back. The carpets here were shocking - paint-spattered, worn and fraying. The room itself seemed OK, if basic, until I shut the window - that's when I realised how badly it stank. The bathroom was unbearable, reeking of... previous visitors. There was a piece of metal in the toilet which had collected a coating of brown filth, but would not flush away. On the other stairwell, the fire hydrant had been pulled away from the wall in a shower of plaster and left on the floor. The lifts were out of order. The curtains were broken. Many of the doors finished three inches above the floor. We didn't bother with the breakfast.
