Everything staff polite at all times and atentive

Wypad kilkudniowy.

5.0

Śniadanie smaczne, obsługa miła, winda, parking, restauracja, ogródek, spa.

Pokój wymaga renowacji. Brak klimatyzacji i słaba wentylacja sprawiają, że podczas upałów na drugim piętrze (poddaszu) jest bardzo gorąco, co znacząco obniża komfort pobytu.

The top floor room was a sweatbox that made me physically unwell.

1.0

I had to check out of my room early because the room which was situated on the top floor was unsafely hot, this made me physically ill. This hotel refused to move me to a habitable room unless I paid a £180.00 upgrade fee for the remaining three nights. I messaged the hotel and advised Booking.Com that this breaches the u.k. consumer rights act and have requested a refund for the three unused nights. The hotel has ignored my message leaving me no option than to attempt to recover my refund due via the appropriate legal channels.

Good value for money, pleasant hotel with a nice location

6.0

Good value, nice location, friendly staff. Free parking. Nice bedroom.

Restaurant was limiting with its food options and times you could eat. Glasses from the bar were dirty and cups in the hotel room were dirty.

Guest review

3.0

Some of the staff were super. The bed was comfortable.

Badly in need of renovation and a good clean. The chest of drawers broken, almost unusable. The shower likewise, the bath stained. Parking was insufficient. The swimming pool was filtered badly and covered in floating dead insects. There was no toilet near the pool. The food was awful.

Bavister · GB · 2026-07-23

Was only there to sleep which wasn’t great due to people slamming the doors

5.0

Easy checking in.

Small car park had to park on street. Certain parts of the hotel didn’t smell to fresh Bathroom could’ve done with a dust and possibly updating No hair dryer in the room so the wife couldn’t wash and blow dry her hair.
