Linda W TripAdvisor review

We paid £178 for a double room and breakfast. We were only staying one night. By choice we would not stay there again. Run down. Smelt musty and damp. No lift. To use the shower you had to climb into the bath. I am unable to do this. No air conditioning in the bedroom. There was a fan but it was ineffective and noisy. On the plus side the staff were lovely. Thankfully we were moving on to Covent Garden for two nights after this.

Craig W Business - TripAdvisor review

A modern hotel from appearance and was a very nice stay. Welcomed by staff on arrival till departure a credit to the hotel. All super helpful and friendly. The hotel bedrooms were average for a stay. Double bed, tv, kettle with free tea, coffee etc. welcome chocolates and water on arrival in the room. With a lovely personalised welcome note. The shower was very powerful and situated inside the bath. The external window once opened as very stiff seemed like it had not been opened for a while or cleaned due to vast amounts of cobwebs. The major let down was the quality of the food. It looked pretty bad and the offering of greens as the vegetables were pretty awful and sloppy in the plate, no presentation. The breakfast was a good selection from cold buffet through to cooked help yourself food. A nice bar are with breakout sections around. A big free car park for guests. Charges for non guests.

Cheryl F TripAdvisor review

When we checked in the first thing we were told was that the hotel was fully booked, we booked our restaurant time but was surprised we needed to book a time for breakfast also. Rooms could do with a bit of a facelift, hotel and rooms looked tired. We went for dinner 7.30 and waited 20 mins cor anyone to approach us ( we had been told on arrival that they were full booked). A bit of a theme going on. We eventually ordered our food and a bottle of wine. 10 minutes later we got told they didn’t have the wine as they sold the last one 20 minutes ago !!! We were also reminded that they were busy and fully booked and also they had a party on. We were offered a bottle of wine which wasn’t even on the wine list so who knows where that came from. Even this took 10 minutes to appear. Our starter arrived, mine was fine but my husband’s prawns looked more like soup and was given a fork to eat it with. !!!! My pork belly was swimming in the sauce and all the vegetables were floating so quite inedible. The mushroom linguine was uneatable it was greasy and stodgy. It had been covered in cheese and left under a heat lamp. Breakfast was just okay, nothing special All in all we will not be staying again.

We appreciate your candid comments, and we sincerely apologize for the various issues you encountered during your visit. Firstly, we apologize for any confusion during your check-in regarding the need to book a time for breakfast.

We regret to hear that you found the hotel and rooms to be in need of a facelift. We constantly strive to maintain our property to the highest standards, and we are actively working on refurbishment plans to address any areas that may require improvement. Your dining experience, as you described, is certainly not reflective of our usual standards, and we deeply regret the inconveniences you faced. The delays in service and unavailability of the wine you requested are unacceptable, and we will address this with our restaurant team to ensure it does not happen again. We apologize for the presentation and quality of the dishes you ordered, as this does not meet our usual standards of excellence. Your feedback on the mushroom linguine is particularly concerning, and we will investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent such issues in the future. We appreciate your feedback about breakfast and will use it to improve the dining experience for our guests. It is disheartening to hear that you have decided not to stay with us again, but please know that your comments will help us identify areas for improvement.

Booked an accessible room for my disabled husband, received confirmation but on arrival told no accessible rooms available. We were offered a room with 2 beds but these were a long walk from the reception and dining area.

Dear Heather I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you and your husband experienced upon your arrival at our hotel. It deeply concerns us that we were unable to provide you with the accessible room that was confirmed in your booking. This situation is not reflective of the high standards of service we aim to maintain. I understand the importance of accessibility for your husband, and I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the room's location, which was far from the reception and dining area. This situation falls short of the expectations we have set for our guests, and we take this matter seriously. We are committed to rectifying this issue and ensuring it does not happen again in the future. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will be conducting a thorough review of our reservation and room allocation processes to prevent similar incidents. In the meantime, please accept our immediate apologies. To make amends, we would like to offer you a complimentary stay in one of our accessible rooms during your next visit, and we will ensure it is convenient to the reception and dining areas. Additionally, we will provide assistance with your luggage during your stay. Please let us know when you plan to visit us again so that we can make the necessary arrangements and ensure you have a more comfortable and enjoyable stay. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are dedicated to making your future visits to our hotel exceptional. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Warm regards, Fraser
