A very convenient location a stones throw from Marlow High Street. However, in real need of refurbishment with very dated bathroom fittings and shabby paintwork in hallway areas. Called room service twice to obtain fresh milk so that we could drink the coffee in the room - no reply. For price charged for room one would expect more. Not the quality hotel I was expecting.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD!!!

1* this hotel does accept cash which is fine however we already prepaid for the hotel via hotels.com. When they took a card as security they took payment for the room TWICE and the food and drinks TWICE. Totalling nearly £800 a week before christmas. It has taken nearly 2 months to resolve and so many members of staff spoken to!! So much so I started to know their names. The Customer service and promise to resolve is absolutely disgraceful. Avoid giving them your card details.

Fabulous 1 night stay at Complete Angler, Marlow

Lovely room by the river

Lovely room right by the water. Huge comfortable bed. Good shower. Air conditioning, though we didn’t need it in January, still good to know it’s available. The bar is nice though not well stocked. Lack of anything to eat when arriving late was a little downer. The Staff are first-rate, attentive and efficient. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere right on the river. The porridge is to be avoided, just damp oats.

Faded Grandeur

So disappointed with standards at Compleat Angler - admittedly 20 years since having stayed but Hotel is tired, room 11 deluxe had large cobwebs above bed and in corners of room. Bathroom equally tired - bath specifically horrid with either rust or dirt showing in the grid of safety grip section, TV was ancient and channels limited We ventured into bar - but didn’t stay - dark and again tired Outside the building definitely needs painting Positively- the bedding was clean and bed comfortable - view nice over Thames to Church

Leisurely charm of a bygone era

There is a relaxed, Edwardian feel to this riverside retreat. Don't expect the reception to be staffed when you check in. Hunt a little for staff amidst the wood panelling, and you will find tranquil repose.

Enjoyable

Nice room looking over the water. Bit dusty, but comfortable. Service was very slow but the food was a good quality and very expensive. Why do they need to charge extra for tomatoes at breakfast? Bit cheapskate if you ask me, especially when a breakfast is £26 in the first place. Very enjoyable evening however.
