Very disappointing!
Pros:

The location & views were gorgeous, Dunbar is a lovely town, lots of nice coffee & art shops.

Cons:

We booked a room with hot tub but were really unimpressed! There were no robes provided, no heated towel rail, radiator or towel hooks in bathroom so unable to dry wet swimwear & towels.
There was no fridge in our room & after bookung we were advised that there would be no evening meal on night 1 due to staff shortages. We were also not made aware that there was ongping construction works happening during our stay & were disturbed by loud drilling adjacent to our room first thing on both mornings. The cream head board of the bed was noricebly stained, very off putting. There was no phone in the room to call reception so we had to call from our mobile on their main number. The bathroom decor updates had not been completed, the bottom of the bath panel had not been finished & was rough, and other parts were unfinished. The shower drain needed a thorough clean. All in all, disappointing!

Pros:

The location is great, ideally located for the town centre with beautiful views overlooking the sea. We had a sea view room which was very comfortable and ideal for a weekend stay. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Durchwachsener Aufenthalt mit schiefem Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis
Pros:

Lage des Hotels.
Das Frühstück war gut und abwechslungsreich.

Cons:

Wir waren sechs Nächte im Hotel Bayswell Park Hotel und hatten ein Doppel- und ein Einzelzimmer gebucht. Zirka eine Woche vor Ankunft, bat ich um Berücksichtigung, dass wir beide Zimmer auf einer Ebene haben können, da eine mitreisende Person aufgrund einer Behinderung Unterstützung benötige. Dies wurde rasch zugesagt. Die Bezahlung der Zimmer war im Voraus notwendig.

Nach Ankunft mussten wir jedoch feststellen, dass beide Zimmer auf unterschiedlichen Etagen eingeplant wurden. Ich bat vor Ort um Prüfung, ob es nicht doch eine Möglichkeit gäbe auf einer Etage untergebracht zu werden, so wie angekündigt. Ohne viel Elan wurde dann geprüft und eine Möglichkeit zur Unterbringung auf einer Ebene, jedoch erst am darauffolgenden Tag ermöglicht. Dies machte dann einen Umzug nach einer Nacht notwendig. Als Begründung wurde angeführt, dass die am gleichen Tag vor uns angereisten Gäste das Zimmer belegen würden und wir dann ab dem folgenden Tag dieses Zimmer haben könnten. Dies verwunderte mich, da ich ja vorher schriftlich um Prüfung bat, die offensichtlich nicht erfolgt ist. Wenn wir nur eine Stunde früher angereist wären, wäre unser Wunsch direkt vom ersten Tag an erfüllt worden.

Aus persönlichen Gründen haben wir überlegt, ob wir unseren Aufenthalt um einen Tag verkürzen. Dies habe ich gleich am Morgen des zweiten Tages mit der Rezeption besprochen. Mir wurde gesagt, dass die Hotelpolitik keinerlei Erstattung von bereits geleisteten Zahlungen vornehmen würde. Wir könnten gerne früher abreisen, aber der Gesamtpreis unseres Aufenthalts würde sich dadurch nicht verändern. Ich wandte mich dann an booking.com und schilderte meinen Wunsch nach früherer Abreise. Der sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter von booking.com nahm dann Kontakt mit dem Hotel auf, um ggf. doch eine Kompensation für einen Tag zu erreichen. Immerhin blieb noch genug Zeit, die Zimmer nochmals anzubieten, so dass kein Leerstand vorliegen würde. Auch zur Verwunderung von bookin.

Pros:

Bathroom + hot tub were spectacular. With plastic glasses provided for drinking in the hot tub

Cons:

The wifi didnt work in our room, a small gripe as we barely used it. The room got quite hot during the night and there are no windows. The only way to cool it down is to leave the sliding door open to outdoor
