We had a great time at Vills Mentone. Perfect location. We arenlooking forward to visiting again.
Pros:

Beautiful location qith breathtaking views. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Cooked breakfast was delicious and well prepared. Great oitdoor space to sit and have a drink.

Great location and nice staff, but decor needs refreshing.
Pros:

Fantastic location with nice outside space. Colourful furniture in lounge area.
Lots of sleeping space in the family room and comfortable beds.

Cons:

Overall tired looking. Stair carpet loose and very dirty. Shower door was broken and ceiling scratched to bare plaster. Staff not always easily available - waited 10 mins for checkin and even then I had to find someone. Breakfast limited - for example only fried eggs, and wouldn’t do scrambled eggs when I asked. No space in the car park.

Excellent location and very helpful staffs. One of the best holidays we had as a family.

Cons:

Parling was bit tight

worst place i have ever staid
Pros:

nothing

Cons:

Everything was terrible and we only said 2 nights. We had 2 rooms more like prison cells, couldn’t open bathroom door more than 3-4 inches as bed blocking, very dirty and falling apart. i am only small 5 2” and struggled to sit on toilet without bashing myself on sink. Didn’t feel very safe, room full of damp, and smelt terrible, this affected the children’s asthma. also people standing outside window smoking until late. Breakfast was not also not nice, we ate out the 2 days we staid by, this hotel is not more like a 1*

Reception staff were particularly helpful.

Good to have an EV charger onsite.
