4/10 Fair

The hotel is advertised on hotels.com as having a gym (the main reason I booked it). Upon check in, I discovered that the gym has not been open for months. The remote control and the safe in the room were not working.

Pleasant stay
A bit of a late review for this first trip, however this stay was extremely pleasant and comfortable. The only issue I had was requesting a wine glass and help with the aircon system via the reception WhatsApp, but it took so long that I decided to go to the bar and get it myself and try my best to figure the system out. Reception did manage to come about 4 hours later, but this didn’t bother me as I think it was just natural human error. Overall though, the stay was extremely comfortable and staff extremely friendly.

6/10 Good

A few unusual issues, but overall comfortable.
I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and had a really pleasant stay, so I decided to book again. I was a little disappointed this time however, as I noticed there was a hole under the sink with a pot noodle pot wedged in to cover the plumbing, so the backing hadn’t been properly covered. There were marks on the walls, a brown stain on one of the towels and the bath filled with water quite rapidly when showering, and wasn’t draining properly. The bed was comfortable, however I did find that the heating system disturbed me during the night as there were times the heating came on, then the aircon came on. I had this issue before but I managed to work the aircon system out, so it would be a handy tip to provide guests with instructs on the heating system so that they don’t fiddle with lots of random buttons. Aside from that, the room was very clean and spacious. I did mention this to reception, and sadly was not offered compensation as I believe almost £100 for one night, only to find a pot noodle pot as a makeshift cover was a little disappointing. This will not deter me from giving the hotel another go next time.

2/10 Poor

Disappointing!!
The room itself was comfy and well laid out, however once we opened the curtains our view was of a old balcony - which was locked, which hadn't been cleaned it what seems decades. The glass partitions were smashed and the windows were absolutely filthy which was a shame as we would've had a wonderful view of the river otherwise. We then were woken up by a fire alarm at 3am (i understand this cannot be helped) it went off for a very short time around 20 seconds, so we called the hotel on our mobile who told us this was due to a guest smoking in their room. Unsure how they managed to go to the room, investigate the cause and come back to silence the alarm within that short time frame. The fire alarm then went off again at 8am. We decided to check-out. We complained about the fire alarms upon check out the staff member stated "ahh yes 3 o'clock someone was smoking" i asked "and the 8am?" but mid-way through talking to us took a phone call on their mobile phone, put it down and hesitantly said "yeah it's normal" i asked for clarification whether they meant it was a routine alarm check? and they said "ahh yeah something like that" and picked her mobile up again to continue our call. It was awful communication and definitely added to our concerns regarding the health and safety of the hotel. Would not feel safe staying here if there was a real fire!!

One night's stay
Had to pay for parking not a good point should be part of the cost of the room, the room was small but had everything we needed for the one nights stay. Smile it costs nothing even if you don't really want to there 😊

Great for a weekend away,
Happy with our short stay. Room was large overlooking river, short distance into town for shopping and restaurants. Bed was soft but fine for one night. Bathroom now a shower room on the small size, not suitable for the larger person as toilet did not have enough space.

Nice room
An overnight stay on the way to a family event. Ample car parking, nice room and adequate, if uninspiring, restaurant. The level of lighting in the room was very low which was fine for relaxing but inadequate for working. Hotel staff were very attentive.

8/10 Very good

Hotel was lovely, the privilege room was very nice, would definitely stay again. However access from the car park was a pain. I also paid for parking and they sold the space to someone else so I had to pay in a public car park elsewhere. They also didn't check me in when I arrived. I came back that night and they had no record of me even though my stuff was in the room and I had a key. They were friendly and helpful sorting it, but having issues in the first place was a pain.
