Pegasus restaurant, located next to Astro Bar is open to the public and can be accessed from a separate entrance without having to go through the hotel reception. The restaurant has recently been fully refurbished and modernised to a high standard. It offers a number of secluded areas for private dining, suitable for a family or a group wanting to enjoy a meal with an element of privacy and intimacy.
At Skylark Hotel we recognise that some of our business guests require facilities and support while they are away from their office. We have the facilities and infrastructure to offer our business customers designated areas or separate rooms where they can have meetings in privacy and comfort. We provide secretarial support, telephone answering service, designated internet/telephone line and other services to meet specific requirements.
Due to the location, different variety of meeting rooms and ample free onsite parking, Skylark Hotel is and outstanding venue for all type of functions, large or small. At skylark we strongly believe that offering facilities and services as a standard package often compromises the quality of the event.

The receptionist was friendly and informative. We were informed the reception was 24hrs, which I thought room service might be available, but there was not a room service list in the room
Outside, was ok nothing really add to that.

Terrible! Avoid at all costs! Arrived to the manager smoking a pipe I the doorway. Booked a family room, it was above the bat which had a party going on until 1230 very loud, our 4 year old was unable to sleep. Staff were very rude and told us we just had to deal with it. Then the fire alarm went off every hour due to a power cut! No hot water, no sleep and no apologies refused to refund. Worst hotel ever

Given what is available at short notice with hotels, especially affordable long-stay, this place is adequate.
Was a tad concerned as I approached the hotel grounds, as it looked abandoned, with a vast area of unmaintained car parking space in front of what was the Zero 6 nightclub (long since closed).
That said, once checked in I found the room to be a good size for a single occupant, with anything you would expect to find in standard hotel rooms provided.
The furnishings, and the double glazing, are in need of updating, as well as the general decor of the building.
Although there were some

Desperately needs gutting from top to bottom. Stained carpets, flooded bathroom, constant musky smell. We couldn’t even stay the night because it was that bad. No manager available to speak to. The receptionist told us the manager will get back to us. Still not heard anything. Would actively discourage anybody from considering a stay here. Definitely not worth a penny.

Good sized room, comfortable bed, powerful shower, bathroom & room need to be decorated as it’s a little dated. Overall it was decent, £80 for a family room

Lovely room, very comfortable. Didn't see many people, but those staff members I did see were very polite and helpful. Nice hot shower. Next time we'll explore the restaurant.

Beautiful place, friendly and helpful staff. If you are going to use the bus don't stay out after 8pm Cuz the last bus to that area where the Hotel is situated is 8:30pm or one has to download the AC taxi App to use the Taxis. Great experience

To be honest Skylark didn't meet my expectations. We've booked in advance 3 rooms with Skylark Hotel, two of them had a odd smell, something moldy... and the carpets were wet. The toilet seat which was supposed to be white, was actually yellow! I couldn't risk to use it.
The staff and a lady at the reception desk were very polite and friendly. They deserve 5 stars definitely.
If we didn't have those issues then I could leave a 5 ⭐ review.
Plenty of parking space too.
If you wish to book a staying here you must consider that.

Pleasant staff. Spacious rooms! Brilliant showers and good sized bathroom. Only downside is its next to a small airport so occasional planes flying in. Overall a good experience but weren't made aware of the airport before we booked !
