Review of Hotel XYZ: My stay at this hotel was nothing short of disappointing.i didn’t even stay I checked straight back out it was filthy From the moment I walked in, it was evident that the establishment was outdated and poorly maintained. The room I was assigned to was uncomfortably cold, and the state of the bathroom was appalling – I wouldn't be surprised if the mold had its own lease agreement. To make matters worse, the pool area was far from inviting; it was downright disgusting. The pool itself seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in ages, and to my horror, the changing room was infested with slugs. Needless to say, I promptly turned around and left without even considering a dip, got my bags and booked another hotel! In conclusion, I strongly advise against booking a stay at this hotel Its deplorable conditions make it an unsuitable choice for any traveler seeking a comfortable and hygienic accommodation experience.

Comfy bed, no atmosphere, very cold food!
Room was comfortable enough but the food standard was very poor - i would compare it to McDonald's, very low quality & served colder than room temperature. When i complained about this the food was replacedin full, but still to the undercooked standard & had obviously been nuked to death in a microwave to ensure the temperature was burning hot to the mouth. Breakfast wasn't any better, buffet style & all precooked and reheated but still cold, in fact the cold milk fot the cereals was warmer. For the pricepaid for bbem (£87.50), i for one will notbe booking here again.

Nice, clean and welcoming place to stay
Very nice and comfortable hotel with some great foods on the menu. Room clean and spacious. Only issue we had was the jacuzzi was cold and the changing rooms could do with some heating, but it was January. All in all a nice place and I will be visiting again

It must be 30 years since we last stayed at The George and that was when it was a Swallow Hotel! Last minute booking and very pleased with our stay, gad a room that overlooked the river, the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet and a good variety was available. Staff were friendly and attentivive. They informed us it was soon to be renovated so we'll look forward to what it will become! Our next visit will be a lot sooner than 30 years!
