The revue says free breakfast - it was NOT!! The hotel is in a ideal position to walk into Marlow town which has lots of different shops on the High Street. Our room was very quiet. Bathroom underfloor heating was good. Parking free for residents.

Wonderful hotel. Had a short break and the hotel was perfect. Lovely room with balcony. Beautiful setting. Staff were excellent. Went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable as it could be. Highly recommend and planning to return next year for Christmas.

The hotel was ideally located for a stay in Marlow and the views of the river were amazing. Our room was fabulous as we were given a suite as we were on honeymoon. It was huge with it's own balcony and fabulous views. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Dinner in the riverside restaurant was excellent again with views of the river. We would definitely use this hotel again and would recommend.

Overall a lovely experience. Room beautiful with idyllic views. Loved the penhaligans toiletries. Breakfast very good. A few points to note. We waited 45 mins after arrival for a bottle of Prosecco to be brought to our room by which time we only had a short amount of time before heading to dinner. The room was hot and we couldn’t turn the radiator off or the air conditioning on. The water pump was intermittent so water pressure in shower was very very low for a couple of showers, but fine for others. Thankyou, I hope this is helpful, Sally (Room 102)

A very special hotel (location, interiors, history) - but not enough staff to match the quality of it all. Late-September falls between end of summer and before they switch the heating on - so coldish room, and aircon didn't help and couldn't be switched off, and they forget to suggest we use the heater tucked inside the wardrobe. But would absolutely visit again!

Hotel is fine, but not worth the money. asked to check in a bit early and they charged an extra £60 to do that. I’ve 65 nights in hotels this year and never been charged for that. Coffee machine in room wasn’t working and asked for replacement 3 times and never got one. Breakfast staff were very friendly and service was good. Overall hotel is “ok” which is a shame because the location is absolutely stunning.

well situated

Well situated hotel on the Thames, comfortable room and freshly cooked breakfast. East walking distance to the Town which was lucky. The hotel is cashless which they advised by email. What they did not advise was to book restaurant in advance. As a hotel resident we were unable to book a table as it was fully booked, not advised when we checked in. Tis is not what we expect from a Macdonald hotel so very disappointed so be aware if booking.
