"Not really good "

"Clean room, excellent breakfast bar and all-day menu, lovely view from the brasserie on to the Thames. Also, very convenient to train, Castle, restaurants and shops. Disappointed to have a room with a poor window view on to a narrow passage way. A couple of other minor irritations could be resolved through calls to reception/maintenance staff. I’d stay there again, but would stipulate room preferences."

"Room was clean staff helpful breakfast was good "

"Was ok for the money, staff very nice and helpful. Sofa bed that was for the children was very uncomfortable. "

"Everything was nice, comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly but it's about 45min to an hour to London."

"Parking easy & a lot of spaces. Kingsize bed & bedding very comfy. Clean & in relatively good decor aside from water stains on ceiling in bedroom area. Good facilities - iron & ironing board, a long mirror as well as table one, a safe, a fridge & a hairdryer. Bathroom compact but clean & well thought out with a bath & powerful overhead shower. Grout immaculate. Toiletries from the White company. Towels white & in good condition. I liked the references to Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn in the bedroom & bar area downstairs. & the bar area looked very welcoming. Breakfast quite basic, but plentiful & perculated coffee was nice. However our omelettes were overcooked, my husband got cheese & tomato instead of tomato & onion which he asked for & the toast was a bit burnt. Unfortunately it was just lack of general maintenance & the breakfast that let it down. E.G. The room was very cold. It was not until morning that we noticed that the main window by the bed doesn't shut completely as no clip for the latch on the handle to lock into! 2 of the lamps in the bedroom didn't work so had to ask for new lightbulbs. When I asked for new bulbs, the staff member had to come and test them himself before he would believe me! Mirror in the bathroom was meant to light but didn't work. Aforementioned water stains on ceiling. Blind on small window broken & Blind on ceiling window damaged so couldn't open. Only 2 sachets of coffee and 3 teabags. If all resolved, I would have scored higher."

"We loved it. Great social space and games. Massive comfy beds"

"Best hotel in the area by a mile. Friendly staff (Jules on reception is a gem and Kuba on the bar makes a great Espresso Martini!). Breakfast is plentiful with great choices of hot and cold food. Rooms are lovely. Whenever we are in the area this is the only place we stay. Highly recommended. "

"Friendly welcome, lovely room and bathroom and good breakfast"
