    I think it's very much overhyped and thought the experience would be better. The smaller details in regards to cleanliness were missing

    The helpful receptionists were a delight and also the comfiness of the beds

    The facilities were poor, the gym was very very small with little equipment and I couldn’t use the sauna or steam room because I hadn’t booked to use them. The sauna and steam room is only for 2 people!! We had to wait 45 minutes for breakfast, we had to ask twice. The staff seemed like they didn’t care and didn’t apologise for the wait.

    The building was beautiful and the room was lovely. The hotel was clean and in an excellent location

    breakfast in the restaurant was awful, yes they didn't charge in the end but the staff did not know what they were doing, which may be down to training? they couldn't get our order right on two occasions. When they try to charge as much as they do, they must provide a better service/food.

    Room was perfect and very good value. Location was pretty and parking was easy to find/use. Front reception staff were very helpful. I would recommend this place to stay at.

    I didn't like the fact there was nowhere to sit for make-up and doing hair - no dressing table. There was no magnifying mirror.

    It was a beautiful hotel, with great facilities and I would definitely return

    I didn't like paying £20 for overnight parking. The public spaces were functional but didn't feel relaxing or cosy. The ambience of the hotel was perhaps more that of a gentleman's club. I did however sit in the window of the lounge at reception to the front of the building and sketch the view of the park opposite when my wife shopped for an hour or so. It's an excellent central location overlooking Forbury Gardens.

    Location and large bedroom with high ceilings and a sense of light and architectural grandeur. This was followed through in the furniture and decor. Breakfast room was pleasant and intimate with a mix of table and self-service options. Good quality coffee served (always a bonus). I was curious to know what the hotel looked liked on the inside and to experience its services - this curiosity was satisfied on this visit. Staff were pleasant and courteous.

    Couldn’t really fault anything as staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. If I was being really picky I would say that the dinners are a bit small portion but then again the quality of the food was 10/10 so it’s just personal preference not actually a problem as such.

    Spacious, friendly staff, beautifully decorated, comfy beds, very clean, it was my partners birthday and they even put a happy birthday message on the table with chocolates and rose petals on the bed! Would love to come back again it’s was a wonderful experience being topped off with a couples massage at the spa which was also fabulous.

    My room was in the 'House' , effectively a new build in the car park at the back of the old building. Whilst comfortable it lacked charm and character, which I was hoping for from the photographs when I booked. This made it a generic hotel room and expensive for what it turned out to be. Also I had to walk across the car park to get back into the main building for the bar and breakfast which was not great in the rain.

    Comfortable quiet room, great location for station and centre of town. Helpful reception desk. Good breakfast.
