"Dirty, very poor health and safety. No lighting on the stairs or entry to the building or apartment. No evidence of CO monitor. Cutlery dirty and only enough for 3 and not 4 guests. Only 3 sests, all of which wobbly with screws missing and unstable to sit on. Crockery dirty and damaged and only enough for 3. Bedside cabinet fallen apart. Sofa beds supposed to be double, but were single and 1 broken and heavily stained. Cigarette butt found on the floor. Only 3 towels provided. Gap around shower...

"Was very impressed with everything. Staff on reception are friendly and helpful. I loved the cookie. Room was perfect for my needs. All great, thank you."
"On arrival greeted by reception as if they’d been having a bad day and letting it show.
Hotel is pleasant enough but I don’t expect luxury what I do expect a comfortable bed. My expectations were not met here. Easily the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. Mattress must have been 20 years old. I resorted to pulling out the sofa bed at 2am it was that bad. Better but not a great alternative.
Maybe I got unlucky. "
"Stayed here very recently for a few nights for a family wedding nearby. The property itself feels almost brand-new, and it was impossible to find fault with anything. From start to finish we had a fantastic stay - every single member of staff we encountered at the desks, breakfast, and cleaners, were incredibly polite and helpful. The facilities were great (excellent hot shower), beds were huge and breakfast was fantastic, even catering for my gluten-free dad. Would 100% recommend this hotel for your next stay."
"Lovely hotel, clean, comfortable and the restaurant on 14th floor was beautiful. I do recommend arriving early for dinner as there was an hour wait for us at 1900 hours. Will definitely be returning "
"Good location, well worth the money.
Staff excellent apart from the night security guard who wanted a full breakdown of who we were (I already gave him my full name and room number) carried on asking more questions until a younger staff member came from the back and stopped the multiple questions.
In general staff were excellent. "
"1. Hotels.com description for a Superior Room is 31 sq m, with a seating area with a sofa and chairs. Ours (room 275) was tiny, with room for a desk and a chair in the corner. Yet, Front Desk assured us this was a Superior Room.
2. Getting hot water out of the shower is non-trivial. Initially we had to complain to get the boiler restarted, then we had to ask for someone to come to the room to explain how to operate the shower tap (involved aligning the lever at a particular angle combined with pushing and turning the temperature knob). Instructions in the bathroom would be helpful.
3. No hairdryer in the room, had to call and request. When the attendant arrived, he asked to check our wardrobe as if he didn't believe us.
4. Breakfast, if ordered on Hotels.com at time of booking, seems to be £20 per room. If ordered in person on the morning, it's more than twice the price, £22 per person. So plan accordingly!
5. Lots of stairs. Our room was only accessible via stairs, which can be tiring depending on how much luggage you have.
6. The grounds are fairly nice. The peacocks are striking, through depending on their mood (and, presumably, the season), they do get into shouting matches with each other which can make for a less-than-tranquil experience on the lawns. Thankfully most rooms are well-insulated and the noise is a lot softer. The lawns therefore are fertilized with healthy amounts of peacock droppings. And occasionally some of the tabletops in the lawn area, too."
"Arrival and check in was all good, restaurant was good great food. We stayed with a wedding party, so we had quite a few rooms. I believe the rest of the parties rooms were fine however my room was on the second floor. We we had suitcases to carry to the second floor, large mother of the bride dresses with a large hat box and accessories.
This was extremely difficult for myself because I was leaving the hotel at different times from other people. I was in a hurry with time. I’m trying to get my belongings downstairs for my transport. So please be aware if you’ll ever have a wedding party ask for rooms on the ground floor.
My main issue with the room was the heat. The radiator was on max, the window was extremely small even when we turned the radiator off the heat just did not seem to go down. Coffee facilities were fine however I never understand why hotels do not leave enough milk the shower was fine however it was a very tight cubicle and trying to have some self-care was extremely hard. I am only 5 foot one and weigh 120 lb so I have no idea how larger people did it.
Also, my room was in the attic roof the roof draped over the bed. This was extremely claustrophobic on top of the room being probably one of the smallest they had.
Needless to say I didn’t sleep at all which wasn’t great for the day ahead.
My advice is if you have a wedding party staying, think ahead unlike I did. "
