Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some positives like spacious and comfortable rooms, but there were issues with the noise from the kitchen and the lack of air conditioning, making it uncomfortably hot. The location was not ideal due to safety concerns and a run-down neighborhood. Service was a bit inconsistent, with friendly but not overly helpful staff. The dining experience was subpar with noisy and chaotic breakfast service and questionable value for money.
The hotel's rooms were not as advertised in the gallery but were nice overall. Service had some issues with noise and lack of breakfast options, although staff were friendly. The location was decent but could have been better, and the dining experience had its ups and downs.
The hotel had a smell like a sauna in our room, but it was as advertised in the pictures on the website. The service was friendly, helpful, and professional, although there were issues with the food area being busy. The location was beautiful, probably the best feature of the hotel, near Bletchley Park, which is a 20-minute drive away. The dining experience was disorganised, but the food was tasty with local produce. The facilities were sufficient but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel had great rooms and friendly staff, providing a nice stay. The only downside was the absence of a bath, which would have been a nice addition to the experience.
