    Little disappointing for a 4* hotel

    Breakfast was a real disappointment. Our previous visit had breakfast in a different room and I remember much better on several levels. This time, although room was very nice, the service was less nice. Staff appeared less than enthusiastic. Language seemed a problem with most staff members - not just in the dining room. They didn't seem very happy and the efficiency just wasn't there. Food choices were limited and plates for cooked breakfasts were stone cold. Tea and coffee weren't brought to the table. One vending machine was situated at the end of the restaurant which meant queuing up for a drink every time. Saucers, cups and tea spoons were not all together so people were all bumping into each other trying to find stuff and the hot water flask for tea kept running out. Restocking of food wasn't immediate or quick. Some people were given a menu for other options like different eggs other than scrambled, but not once were we offered one. Pastries weren't always fresh. It was disappointing for a 4 star hotel to have somewhat of a bun fight at breakfast. Reception staff didn't seem to have any local knowledge like which side of the road to wait for the bus right outside the hotel. Surely reception staff should be trained for such things. As our flight home had been delayed, we decided to have an afternoon tea in the hotel before going to the airport. The tea was wonderful, including my gluten free option. Chef was obviously very good. However we were quite disappointed to have to listen to the banter between staff looking after the terrasse bar and restaurant. The language was quite colourful, shall we say, including f**king and s**t, and no attempt to keep it quiet. Constant moaning about being asked to do certain work. Again, not what you expect from a 4 star hotel at those prices. I would suggest much better training and more management presence!

    We really liked our room. Spacious, well equipped and clean. Perfect for access to the spa. Enormous bathroom with bath and walk in shower. Plenty of towels and shower gel etc. Coffee and tea making facilities and also iron/board. Air-conditioning also handy as weather quite warm during our stay. Spa was very nice with pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Plenty of sun beds indoor and out. Lovely changing facilities with all amenities.

    Very expensive guest pass prices. Wanted to bring my godchildren swimming with us and they wanted £20 each which is extortionate. They're 10 and 12 years old.

    Good quality and plentiful range of hot choices, continental, fruit and pastries.

    The only thing we thought that let down the stay was the breakfast, the hot breakfast, bacon was over cooked, mushrooms were far too peppery. I assumed it was a full English however there was no hash browns, beans, black pudding. Other than that everything else at the hotel was fabulous!

    Staff were impeccable couldn’t be more accommodating. Facilities of the spa were out of this world. Bed extremely comfortable. Lunch at the restaurant was lovely. Loved that when you booked through booking.con you got a complimentary glass of wine per person.

    The Coffee Shop aspect of the Hotel Desk! I tried the Green Smoothie, which didn't go down too well. Nothing else.

    I'm fairly Ancient, so didn't use all the facilities, but, my working life was spent in and out of Hotels all over the World. This Hotel is based on many others, and I rate it highly!

    The weather, which as it was December was to be expected, and the climb up to the entrance.

    Our Rooms were lovely, and my two (adult) children enjoyed the pool. The breakfasts were great . We had most of our meals at the hotel and the food was excellent. We spent three nights at the hotel, having booked as we were going to a relatives funeral. After not looking forward to our visit, we actually really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Thank you.

    The mattress and the pillows need an update.

    the spa facilities were amazing, only downside the steam room was out of service. Breakfast had a good selection of different options and there was variety. Room, was on the small side and could do with a harder mattress. The staff were polite and helpful.

    Thee only issue was the breakfast and as a vegetarian I was surprised I was expected to pay for any food ordered other than what was offered which was bacon,, scrambled eggs, sausage, tomato and mushrooms there should be vegetarian options already cooked

    The hotel was clean, and the room was larger than expected..the spar was nice to relax in.

    It´s hard to say anything negative about the hotel. One could argue if a second coffee machine at the breakfast room would be helpful. Furthermore, the bar does not exactly have the atmosphere of a true bar, as it is a combination of a (very good!) restaurant and a place where you can have a drink in the late evening. As I had dinner at the restaurant several times and being on my own, I wasn´t seeking a cosy bar anyway.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. Also, I enjoyed the spa very much. Please note that the hotel is located on a hill about 1 km away from the busy city center. And even though St. Saviour´s Rd. is very busy too, the hotel rooms are absolutely quiet, so don´t worry about traffic noise at all. If you are German like me don´t forget to bring an adapter for you phone or laptop (otherwise, the staff will help you out).
