Parking limited, first come first served, but good if you can get a space. Check in was good but not over friendly. First impressions of room were good, has a wow factor, but closer inspection revealed a layer of dust on many surfaces. Also only a couple of towels between two of us but reception brought up a couple more when requested. Bed was comfortable and room a good size. No safe in room or fridge. Despite that our stay was comfortable and the food we had in the evening was decent.

Nice but noisy early bins!

Nice hotel in the centre of town, staff are friendly but I always get woken up by the bins being pulled/dragged through the hotel courtyard from the rear of the hotel at 5am in the morning!

Lovely old hotel with beautiful rooms in a pretty area. Good cooked breakfasts but limited continental choice. Our room wasn't serviced despite asking twice for this to happen. Maybe staff shortage? Service needs a little more atrention to detail and more management supervision e.g. no orange juice avaliable one morning as it wasn't refilled, given a broken coffee cafetiere on both mornings, as the room wasn't serviced we had an unmade bed, full litter bins and had to ask for milk etc to.be replenised. Unwashed cups and the bottled water we asked for never appeared. At close on £200 a night and a 4 star rating I would have expected better. Would I stay there again? Yes I would as it is a lovely hotel but I would have been expecting compensation for tge shortcomings. Hopefully this wouldn't be an issue a second time

Lovely old coaching inn. Check in was friendly and we were shown to our room. Rooms recently refurbished with very plush furnishings. We had a superior double. Lovely little touches like bottles of water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, great toiletries, even a pillow spray. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Like that they have kept the tradition of the building with pictures of the historical person and a description. Would stay here again if visiting Godalming
