Overall not bad but gluten free was frustrating
Pros:

Good location and very helpful staff, everywhere was clean, nice bar and complimentary tea and coffee on reception for guests was a nice touch

Cons:

Serious lack of communication regarding gluten free options in the restaurant. I ordered a gluten free burger with chips. They said they could do it. When the waiter bought it to my table, it was literally just a gluten-free burger and bun. There was no Chips. Apparently the chef had cooked some onion rings in the oil so couldn’t do it gluten-free. What would’ve been nice was for the waiter to come back and tell me that rather than delivering half a meal to me. He then offered me a bowl of mashed potato when I complained. I didn’t want mashed potato with burger. Had I known I would’ve ordered an alternative. Dessert menu was extremely limited for me too. Such a shame as everything else in the hotel was excellent.

Förvånansvärt bra!
Pros:

Personalen var fantastisk, speciellt Sunita och barpersonalen. Väldigt ljust och fräscht och härlig veranda utanför.

Cons:

Läget är lite off, eftersom Guildford inte är en stad många stannar i.
