I was treated to the overnight spa package at this hotel by my partner. First impressions of the hotel were fantastic - marble, gilt and chandeliers. For a 'Club room' however, the size of the room was disappointing, although nicely set out. Little touches such as complimentary bottles of water, toiletries, bathrobes and slippers were a nice addition, and made the extortionate price of the package a little more bearable. We ordered room service which arrived promptly and tasted fantastic! Did not take advantage of the free drinks and snacks in the Club lounge as part of our package however, as the lounge appeared to be quite rowdy and did not fit into the romance of our trip.
Another downfall was concerning the spa treatments. We assumed that by having 'joint' massages as part of the spa package we would be placed in a dual treatment room, however we were treated in separate rooms which was a little disappointing. It seems that there are no dual treatments facilities which was not specified when my partner rang up to make sure that this was possible. Also the massages were supposed to last for an hour yet we were only treated for half, and the pool which looked so large on the website was tiny!
Nevertheless the staff were very polite and helpful, and this did help to give us an enjoyable overall experience. I would not recommend however paying for the £190 spa package for only one night, when there are so many drawbacks to this hotel.
