I attended here on Sunday 9th June about 1600hrs. Having waited at the bar for about 15 minutes. Other people got served before me. The problem was the staff didn't have a clue about a rota' system and served who ever was in front of them even if they just appeared. I tied to be polite and be patient as... More

Stayed for a night and was ok. The room was a little tired but the bed was comfy. There was an Issue with the hot water, but this was sorted at the end of the stay with an suitable outcome. The bar food was good, but had to wait for half an hour for it, which a little disappointing. The... More

Thank you for your review. The hotel was experiencing a slight problem with one of the boilers during your stay, however, as you state, it was sorted and we continue to monitor the water as a precaution. With regards bar meals and half hour wait. All of our food is freshly cooked to order and as such takes time to... More

We stayed here a month or so ago, and had a nice weekend, in a pretty average hotel. Reading some of the other reviews (and hilarious responses!) I have to agree about the cold. It would be nice to arrive to a cosy room on a freezing day, and we also had to ask reception a couple of times to... More

We have stayed in this hotel twice now and on both occasions found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely if lacking a few subtle details that would improve them. There is nothing wrong per se more a few things than aren't quite right with them. However the rooms, we have stayed in, were sizeable... More

Stayed at the hotel whilst visiting the grand national. South street is just a few minutes walk away with some good bars and restaurants. The staff at the hotel were very helpful. Rooms are basic but clean.

The rooms have a decent size (say, some 14 m2) and with the typical British decoration you'd expecting in a building with a classical look and feel. The bathroom is well equipped, has a comfortable space and it eventually brings everything you'd need – including warm towel rack. The rooms also provide you with a wall trousers’ presser. The internet... More

Hi, Thank you for your review. We have been looking into a higher speed internet access, however for some reason, the Waterloo area is not served well. Our current provider has not installed infinity yet, so at peak times, access may be slow. However, we are due to change suppliers shortly and we should be offering all our guests "superfast"...

Although the staff were nice, this hotel disappointed hugely. I remembered it from many years ago when I lived in the area. When we arrived, no room in the car park, but plenty of space outside. No heating on in our room, so we told reception and went to eat in the bar. Still no heating when we went back... More

I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. I am puzzled as to the heat problem as most of our reviews state that the hotel is very warm. Maybe if you turned the thermostat on the radiator to the ON position, that might help or maybe if the heat was still not there after you say you... More

Sir, Thank you for your review. I am concerned about the Bin Wagon as it is illegal to operate before set times. I have sent you a message to your tripadvisor account to enquire as to what day and time the bin wagon arrived as I wish to stop this nuisance for other guests. Could you please reply to me?...
