Just came back from this hotel, and would not return. Rooms were very tired and needed updating, no shower hose to wash your hair would leave to the floor being very wet and slippery.

Dear God, if you care anything about your family and friends do not stay here.

We returned yesterday from a 3 night stay at this hotel. The food was excellent and represented good value for money and the restaurant staff were very good. However as a party of four adults we booked two twin rooms and were allocated two on the second... read more

The hotel accomodation is fair, The bedroom was heated but could have been warmer. The room was tidy and the room cleaned satisfactorily. Meals were very good at the hotel with a friendly atmosphere from the staff. Entertainment was spartan to say the lea... read more

I would like to stress that this is only my experience and my opinion:

After reading numerous reviews on the internet, we considered cancelling our holiday, however we decided to give it a go and see for ourselves. I am glad we did not cancel the booking as it was a great stay and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel... read more

The outside looks very nice but the inside needs a full refurb. Lounge and bar area cold, dining room hot. The arrival was a farce. Two coaches arrived at the same time and all the keys were laid out with names on them. Then when you had your key you ... read more

Staff very helpful but rooms and services certainly sub standard.

Bath panel rotting out, window wouldn't open and shower temperature devoid of any control.

Meal times very restrictive and akin to a works canteen layout.

I stayed at The Rainbow International Hotel in July 2007. I enjoyed my stay there. My room was at the top of the stairs and the food was fairly good. I was sat at a dining table with 2 women from Stockport and the three of us became good friends by the... read more

Staff great, however the hotel food and accommodation did not live up to standard. Travelling with friends… when we arrived to our rooms, cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, one stank of stale smoke and we had to open the bedroom windows and as for o... read more

This is most definitely the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff were most unhelpful & were often rude & surly.

The room was filthy & the bed linen looked as if it had not been changed since the previous guest.

The food... read more
