Great hotel

A one night stay for a meeting nearby and would happily stay here again. Nice friendly staff, clean, decent food. If I was being picky the pool a touch on the small side once a few people are swimming, and eating in the bar area it felt a little empty of atmosphere. Overall great and look forward to a return

A decent hotel but nothing special. My standard room had a musty drainage type smell, windows could not be opened. Bathroom was the best quality of the room. Breakfast at £15.95 for one over priced in my opinion. Spa and Pool area was reasonably nice, towels provided.

Comfortable and classic stay

The experience at Muthu was great. Staff were very courteous as well as accommodating. The swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna were great too. I liked the vibe of the place and the entrance is really grand. Gives a classy look without the expensive price tag.

The spa facilities were really great and created a great opportunity for the family to spend time together. Really appreciated the hotel faciltating our family of 4 to stay in a junior suite even though we were 4. The room was clean and spacious and was a real break for us! Only thing was breakfast wasa bit expensive for us as it the resaurant seemed to be managed separately. All in all really lovely!

Me and my 5 year old Daughter stayed here for 4 nights. All the staff were fantastic and friendly, the food in both the restaurant and bar was really good and the pool facilities were ideal for what we were after. only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the room we had and the pool in particularly could use some 'TLC' the shower in our room was loose and there were several areas in the pool where areas of tiles have come away. Would still defo stay again though, mostly due to how great all the staff were.
