Amazed at how dated and poor quality at this hotel. Genuinely shocked - this needs a total refurb and new staff ….but mainly the fabric, especially the rooms, is frankly shocking.

The hotel was lovely and in a beautiful location, right on the riverbank. We ate in Sindhu, which I highly recommend. There are no USB ports in the bedrooms, which is worth knowing in advance. Breakfast was ok, but not great and certainly not the expected level for a 4 star hotel. The coffee was horrible and I would have expected better. However, overall we had a great time.

Average stay

A rare night away from the kids, we splashed out on this hotel and had high hopes. Whilst the location was second to none, I’d say the hotel inside is average. We would in a deluxe double so has river views which was incredible. Bathroom was dirty and we asked for it to be cleaned but that never happened. Breakfast was very average. Buffet style but I’d say range of food available was average. Little available for vegans, other than cooked breakfast. No alternatives for yoghurt or butters. Lovely location but overpriced hotel for what it offers.

Fine,

Average, filthy bathroom taps and bath sealant were really really grotty. Location is sublime though. Very very basic all-round, corridors are narrow and a struggle with a suitcase, no offer from the reception staff to assist with luggage. Was probably lovely when it was first built.

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.
