Arrived at this hotel hoping for a good night’s sleep after a long drive on a very hot day. It became apparent quickly though that the A/C in the room was not working effectively and with no window to open, the whole room was baking hot and impossible to cool down. In general the room was well kept and had all the amenities you would want, although one of the towels was stained. Due to arriving later in the evening, and knowing the hotel was fully booked because of the Uni Open Day we didn’t complain but made them aware the following morning where they said a note would be sent to maintenance. A shame to pay a not inconsolable amount for the tiom and have a very poor night’s sleep.

Leila

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
⭐ 1 Star – Highly overrated and extremely disappointing. This hotel’s rating does not reflect the reality we experienced. We booked with confidence based on the high score, reputation and premium pricing, but the standard delivered was far below expectations. From the first night, we experienced repeated flooding in one of the rooms. The issue was reported immediately and repeatedly to reception and management. Photos, videos and supporting evidence were provided. Despite multiple complaints, the flooding continued throughout our stay without proper cleaning, effective repair or permanent resolution. Instead of enjoying our holiday, we spent our time dealing with flooding, documenting evidence, chasing responses and trying to make basic facilities usable. The most disappointing aspect was the management. Despite having every opportunity to address the problem, no meaningful action was taken while we were staying at the hotel. A problem of this severity should never have remained unresolved for the entire duration of a guest’s stay. What happened at checkout was even worse. After days of disruption, stress, inconvenience, safety concerns and loss of use of essential facilities, the compensation proposed by management was completely out of proportion to the seriousness of the situation. I found the response insulting and dismissive of the impact this experience had on us. For a hotel charging premium rates and carrying such a high rating, the level of customer care, was poor

The overall stay was excellent value, I was well looked after. The room was spotless, clean and comfortable. The evening meal was the highlight, spot on and super tasty. One of the best stays I have ever had in the UK other than those over £300 per night (not often) and this was a third of that price.
