Room needs another refurb
Pros:

Honestly not much

Cons:

Room was badly refurbished. TV blocks bathroom door and wardrobe, crazy to attach it to the wall on a huge bracket. Nowhere to sit and dry hair, kettle opposite side of the room to cups etc, almost impossible to open the window.

Great location but wouldn't come back unfortunately
Pros:

Staff were friendly and it's a great location. Room was a decent size.

Cons:

Booked a garden view room, we were right above all the many Aircon units etc with no view. 1 window didn't open at all. Tried to book breakfast for the next morning but there was no availability. Understood re the renovations happening, but the bar available didn't have many drinks to choose from. Aircon doesn't do much and didn't want to leave the 1 window open through the night because of the noise of the units outside right the window.

Not worth the £197 per night rate unfortunately.

Recoup by the river
Pros:

The hotel was welcoming and accommodating. All the staff were friendly and smiley and seemed happy to help with any requests (ie gluten free items at breakfast and dinner.
The location was great, we took 2 short bus rides to Kew. Hampton Court is very close and the river is right on your doorstep (or whatever the maritime equivalent is}
The swimming pool was good and has lane swimming for all speeds.

Cons:

It wasn't a dislike, but it was a shame that the new dining room wasn't completed, it looks great and will be a good addition to an already extensive hotel site.

Pros:

The location was good for us. The breakfast was very good. The bed was comfortable but extra small. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

We were told the room that we booked was in the annexe but that wasn’t on the booking.com website. The receptionist kindly upgraded us to a room in the main building. The room was probably the smallest room I have ever stayed in and the bed was only a standard double. Not a great night sleep unfortunately. I do not think nearly £200 for that room was value for money.

Pros:

The staff were attentive and very helpful.

Cons:

There was a lack of signs to direct your room, especially in the Ascot building. Signs covered the area on the ground floor although it wasn't clear where any rooms to the upper floors were.
