good overall stay

In the room we stayed in the walk in shower dribbles water out onto the bathroom floor , which is unavoidable , there is no soap holder on the shower and the drenching shower head wastes water and energy.

Lot of noise from the wedding below. Room far too hot, someone in our party asked about it and was told it was set at that and couldn’t change. I took a cold shower before trying to sleep. Not the best overnighted I’ve ever had.

Very nice hotel, however room for improvement.

Overall the stay was very good. Reception staff were friendly and extremely helpful in sorting out an issue. The bar/restaurant staff equally as friendly and helpful sorting out a couple of requests. The bar prices did seem quite excessive though. It’s actually slightly cheaper in central London at the tourist hotspots than at your bar. I stayed for a wedding so naturally the bar was going to be visited several times. I felt a little taken back with the bar prices. It took the edge off what could have been a perfect stay. A few other guests at the wedding did make comment on how expensive the bar was too. The window on our room only opened a small amount. I understand this is for safety but I feel it could have opened a little more for some fresh air. The window blind didn’t block out enough light in the morning for me. Could really do with some curtains as backup. The temp settings on the AC controls were confusing. Only could set 7, 8 or 9 degrees. The room itself was very nice and comfortable. I stay in a lot of hotels for business and don’t often see a TV as big as our room at Wildes Inns. So that is a positive. Bathroom very modern and clean also. Lots of mirrors and sockets around the room, that’s a big positive for me.

Lovely hotel but couldn’t sleep at all as there was no air conditioning just a fan the room blowing hot air around! it was 32degrees in the room(only 18degrees outside) the window only opened a teeny tiny bit! Just very disappointing as let’s face it, you pay to stay at a hotel for somewhere to sleep and if you can’t do that it’s pointless We had a 2 night stay booked and had to make other arrangements for the second night!

Excellent Hotel!

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was immaculate! The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. We had breakfast and due to the time we went down, we were the only ones there. I had fresh eggs made for me. We got an ample supply of pastries. It was brilliant! The only hiccup we had was that there is a constant noise in the room due to a fan or something that we can't turn off. Apart from that, I was very impressed with the hotel.

Hit and miss

I arrived to find dirty underwear in the bed, suggesting the sheets hadn’t been changed. I took them down to reception, and shortly after discovered a human tooth on the bedside table—clearly left behind by a previous guest. That was particularly unsettling. To their credit, the staff responded quickly and moved me to another room. However, when I returned from work around 5:30pm, I found the room hadn’t been cleaned. Another issue worth noting: rooms on the top floor were sitting at 27 degrees with no air conditioning, which made things quite uncomfortable. Quite frankly, I’d expect a refund in good faith. The rooms aren’t cheap, and the whole experience was a bit gross. I had originally considered booking this hotel for my team due to its location near our worksite, but after this, I’ll likely be looking at alternatives.

Not dog friendly at all

Why does this place claim to be dog friendly. By bringing our 8 year old labradoodle, we were told be cannot take the dog to eat breakfast with the other guests. We have to eat outside or use room service. We were excluded from the bar and other facilities too. We also were charged an extra non-refundable £50 cleaning charge for our hypoallergenic dog on a dry day. She never shed a hair, barked or made a mark while we were there. Please make the £50 refundable following a morning inspection by the cleaner. The room had several faults including a tear in the carpet. This place is only interested in wedding guests willing to pay extra for a special night.
