Nice place, big grounds and restaurant onsite
Pros:

Good size rooms and bed. Close to places to eat and supermarket

Cons:

At the price you pay you would expect there would be Sky TV. There was a constant humming from the bathroom fan but no switch to be able to turn off. Called reception was told it would turn off at 10.30pm didn’t switch off until 11pm probably a little late at night for those who like a quiet night!!

Think twice
Pros:

Location within Hamner and the staff could not have been more helpful

Cons:

The rooms had no air conditioning and no mosquito nets were missing on our doors making it hot. The hotel was tired and the pathways made taking luggage to the rooms difficult all in all not a good stay and way below expectations. Give others a look at before booking a garden room

A relaxing stay in a comfortable hotel set in a lovely garden but a stone’s throw from the town.
Pros:

It was a real treat to stay in this hotel. It was very comfortable, had a lovely garden to walk in and was situated right in the middle if town. I would like to mention two members of the team who were so welcoming on our arrival and in the restaurant on our first evening. I am sorry that I do not know their names (a woman and a man) but they were the perfect combination of friendly and professional.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Location

Cons:

It’s so outdated and is in need of a good remodel. We only saw 3 staff members which is quite odd for a hotel that size. The price was also a bit on the high side considering it’s such an old property.

Staff working hard and trying to please but the hotel is falling short on standards and quality.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Dinner menu was limited.
We requested decaffeinated coffee after dinner. A wakeful night of both of us would suggest we were not given decaf. Combined with hot rooms we had poor night’s sleep.
Continental breakfast was limited. Fruit was either a pool of tinned peaches or a whole orange. If you like marmalade, then it’s not there.

Right in the heart of the action.
Pros:

Excellent location - right opposite the thermal pools and within walking distance of all cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Great to be able to have breakfast at the hotel and walk over to the pools at the opening time of 10am when they are at their quietest.
Staff were all professional and genuinely friendly.

Cons:

Bed was too soft, particularly on one side. Plug in washbasin did not fit properly.
The new external dark grey colour scheme, whilst smart, seemed a little too plain and dull. I preferred it the previous lighter yellow shade.
Naming the hotel simply 'Edit' (after the hotel group) doesn't seem right - from the outside you wouldn't necessarily know it was a hotel.
