Worst hotel experiences we have had, driven by deeply unprofessional management.
Pros:

The hotel itself is situated in a very good location and the overall aesthetic and atmosphere of the property were genuinely appealing. There were also several members of staff who were welcoming, engaging, and clearly trying their best to provide a positive experience for guests. At times, however, it did feel as though some junior team members were somewhat intimidated or restricted by the presence and approach of more senior management, which unfortunately affected the overall atmosphere. It mad us feel very uncomfortable.

The breakfast itself was of a very high standard in terms of quality and presentation. Once clarified, the food was beautifully prepared and served gradually, which created a much more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. However, the process surrounding breakfast was quite confusing. Despite having paid £32 per person for breakfast in advance, we were handed menus displaying individual prices without any explanation of what was included or whether additional payment was required. This initially created the impression that we were expected to pay again. Once we asked questions, the situation became clearer, but a brief explanation at the outset would have avoided unnecessary confusion and discomfort.

Cons:

We were shocked and extremely disappointed with our experience staying at this venue. Whilst the location and appearance of the hotel were appealing, the overall stay was overshadowed by the poor handling of several issues.

The room was clearly in need of updating and felt dated, particularly considering the price point of over £300 per night. More concerningly, appliances within the room were not working properly. Staff did attempt to help when the issues were raised, however the disruption and delays caused us to miss valuable time before an event we had planned to attend.

What made the experience significantly worse was the response from senior management. When we raised our concerns respectfully, we were met with what was honestly one of the worst examples of customer service we have experienced in a hotel. The conversation the following day was deeply uncomfortable. Senior management were dismissive, aggressive in tone, and repeatedly spoke over us while we were trying to explain the situation calmly. Rather than feeling listened to, we were made to feel belittled.

An agreed partial reimbursement was discussed and promised during our stay, yet this was never followed through. We made five follow-up calls to the hotel afterwards, and each interaction left us feeling further dismissed, with no resolution provided.

The biggest disappointment was not that problems occurred, as issues can happen anywhere, but the lack of professionalism, empathy, and accountability shown when trying to resolve them. When paying premium prices, guests should reasonably expect working facilities and to be treated with basic respect when concerns are raised.

Unfortunately, based on our experience, we would not recommend staying at this venue.

Boujee But Worth It
Pros:

Great location, exceptionally clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful and friendly! Facilities use was a real highlight and the late check out was a bonus!

Cons:

Check out and use of facilities wasn’t really explained properly which caused unnecessary confusion and check in was a little slow. Couldn’t get through to reception from the room either

Served a purpose for the marathon but not worth the money we paid
Pros:

Quick check in with bags taken to the room, staff very pleasant.

Cons:

Breakfast was terrible. Had to ask numerous times for tea and coffee and had to go behind the desk to get juice. Kiwi fruit was past its best and could not be eaten. Cooked breakfast was not up to standard. The rooms were a little tired and are in need of some TLC.
