First and foremost after I had made the booking for this hotel, I ended up finding a much better price on another website, which was extremely cheaper for the same room I wanted.
Secondly, the reviews I found about this hotel were really good, however, the experience we had did not reflect this.
As we walked into the room they gave us , it was really messy, with the bed sheets all over the place, slippers and bath robes left untidy on the chairs and floor and rubbish left on the floor. It was funny, because a welcome not was actually left for us saying, “It was a pleasure to clean your room” which was clearly not the case. So they moved us to another room, with a less appealing view than our previous room. The best they could do to apologise for this was give us two free mocktails as we don’t drink, and considering there’s only two mocktails on the menu, we though this was pathetic considering the good things I’ve seen about the hotel.
The main reason why we booked this hotel was because of the free access to the swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. We were yet again very disappointed. The jacuzzi was just not hot enough, it was lukewarm. The steam room wasn’t really a steam room and I was told there seemed to be issues with it anyway. The only good things in there were the swimming pool and the sauna which was actually quite lovely. However, overall, it wasn’t what we expected considering the good reviews we had seen online, it was very busy and loud. So it wasn’t relaxing at all.
One of the lifts were out of service, which was a huge inconvenience, as it left everyone suffering extremely long waiting times to get up and down the only other lift which was available.
We ended up having dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and yet again this was a huge disappointment. It was a small menu and considering it was Valentine’s Day one would think they would have everything that they’re offering on the menu. However, this was not the case. We both ordered steaks, and they turned round and told us they had no steaks in the kitchen. Like seriously how can you have no steak in the kitchen?!!
We were about to leave and find somewhere else to eat but we settled with an alternative.
The sleep we had was very uncomfortable and the pillows were awful. I would have much preferred to have slept at a Premier Inn.
The breakfast wasn’t too bad. Had a bit of everything, from English breakfast to cereals and pastries.
Overall, very disappointed with the hotel , food and experience we had. Definitely won’t be going there again.
