Average stay. This has nothing to do with the building being old or historical; that part is actually charming. The real issue is maintenance: the place needs a fresh coat of paint, the carpets in the rooms are tired and should be replaced, and even the chairs in the bedrooms are worn and wobbly. Breakfast buffer was “ok” — the quality and the assortment not what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel. Overall, it fell short of the standard it claims to offer.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I wanted this to be special it wasn’t. I can get round the drinks being put on my tab in the bar. Cost me £33. I did not notice this until I looked at bill after. But what really gets me is the fact the booking system at hotels.com was confusing and I booked a week ahead. The staff said don’t worry we can sort this but tonight you need to book again. So I did and paid top wack for the room. Now after Friday- Saturday and Sunday trying to either get refund or change dates they just don’t or not even interested in helping. Not great for someone that spent £500 in a day in the hotel. Not what you expect from a 5* hotel to just rip you off the mistake and say well it’s tough. Will never stay again. I am writing 3-4 reviews a day against this hotel which is fair if they don’t sort this by Friday.
