You need to book parking at hotel. We did not know and had to park in public parking overnight. Also you can only use the pool for two hours in the morning and two hours at night. Outside these hours you pay £70 per person for access. A bit of a rip off for a 5-star hotel. Buffet was very average - not much to choose from.

Minimoon

We stayed here as part of are minimoon, we would not normally pay the price for hotel but pushed the boat out . On first look all seemed ok ,but then found the door stop in bathroom was not attached to the floor was lent up on skirting board. The socket for plugging the kettle/coffee machine into couldn't plug all the way in ...not sure if broken or fault...2 light bulbs not working in main light fitting ...this is a 5* hotel . Having said that the hotel was lovely, warm ,clean and all the staff we're friendly and helpful. All food was off excellent quality .

Second time stay and hope there’s a third

Amazing hotel. Would recommend for sure. Such friendly staff. Few niggles that were sorted like room nor made up until 3pm, breakfast was soooo slow and not much service in the bar. You can’t use the spa other than hours that don’t really suit so be aware the pools are not for general use all day. Don’t be fooled. I would 100% return

Central location. Walkable to all sites, including the train station (8 minute walk, all flat). Easy train access in and out of London via Paddington Station. Complimentary use of the onsite spa and baths was a great bonus and really made the stay notable. The staff were helpful and responsive.

Liked: Cleanliness

A bit underwhelmed by our stay. For starters, parking our car was a thoroughly unpleasant and stressful experience - £45 for one night and we had to drive it and pick it up ourselves from an off-site car park (albeit only 5 minutes walk). I do not understand how a "5 star" hotel does not provide valet parking, especially at this price. As for the spa, whilst it was lovely, it was not made clear until just before our arrival that it was only available to hotel guests at very limited times. Consequently the spa was very busy and we had to get up quite early to use it. Overall, not a bad experience but definitely did not feel like a '5 star' one.

Lovely hotel, nicely furnished room. However our room on the first floor was quite noisy. Soundproofing could be better as we were both woken earlier than planned by noise from outside. We also had afternoon tea in the restaurant. The food was excellent however the service was slow and at times non-existent. People who sat down after us were served before us and a request for an an extra round of sandwiches (which we would have happily paid for if required) was met with a flat “no we don’t do that”. Definitely far below 5* levels of service, which was a shame as the quality of the food could not be faulted.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff were all really friendly and very helpful, providing just the right level of attention. The afternoon tea was nice, as was the spa area. There is a little wear and tear around the thermal bath, and some areas of the room weren't especially clean, but I would return.

This is a regular stay for me and always enjoyable. Service is generally excellent and the spa is fun. My only criticism this time would be the cooked breakfast- nasty puck like hash browns and not a great sausage. I expect better given the level of service elsewhere. Stick to the continental brekkie.
