“The absolute no no place to stay in!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

- I have booked online due to proximity issues to the town center. My daughter needed to stay for two nights and I did not offered the option to upgrade to twin room for the two nights, eventhough the occupacy was law and they could offer that (I asked and got only one option - get an extra single room).
- A fox was in the bag yard at night one. The animal defecated on the grass and the stool were still there on day 7 when I was leaving.
- There was noone at the reception from 12:30 to 17:00 (not very convenient for quests)
- On the day before the last I asked the receptionist to book a taxi for airport transportation at 13:00. So he did. On the last day at 11:00 I was asked to check out because the staff had to clean the room for expected guests. If they were about to leave at 12:30 and come back to work at 17:00 it is obvious that they were expecting no one to come before 17:00. The occupacy was low and they could have allow for two more ours. Appart from that I know no other hotel that requires a checking out at 11:00 in the morning. As a result I was forced to take my taxi to the airport two ours earlier. The good thing was that I had two extra ours waiting time at London Heathrow Airport.
- Communication to town center was owfull especially on the weekend where no bus was passing for more than 45 minutes.
- Very poor breakfast options.
- Badly organised as I was asked to pay the bill for my daughters room which I did and then I was asked if I received a note about payment (apparrently no computer is being used for customer records - the bill was hand - written).
- Spider nets on the metal tables and chairs in the bag yard were giving a picture of an abandoned place.

“Extremely dated...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

I stayed for two nights on business. Although the room was fairly clean, I did find it extremely dated and tired. The 'en-suite' was no more than a cupboard with a shower and toilet. The furnishings wouldn't have looked out of place in an old persons' home. Staff were friendly enough and the view over the garden was nice, but I definitely wouldn't stay here again. I'm also annoyed that I was asked for my card details again despite the fact that I had already pre-paid on expedia. Not the worst hotel in Guildford (I'd say the Travelodge is worse than this), but I think I will try elsewhere next time I'm back in Guildford on business.

“good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2011

It's more a B&B rather than a hotel. However, my stay was fully satisfactory. Room (single with well functioning bathroom) was ok, clean, silent, fast WLAN connection (free). Breakfast not a blast, but appropriate. Very friendly staff.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood, about 15 min walk to the start of the shopping streat, however, assume about 20min walk to the restaurants. Longer walk back, because you'll go uphill. There is also a bus, but I did not try. Have to take into account that they don't serve dinner, so maybe you might need a taxi to go back after the dinner in town.

Overall, good value for money, recommended hotel.

“Quiet, clean and comfortable guest house”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

It is perhaps easy to be a little put off by some of the recent reviews. This is a quiet and clean guest house within walking distance (10-15 minutes) of town centre. Our room was a little old fashioned with a small en-suite but it was not a problem for us. If you are expecting a flat screen TV and a large bathroom with a power shower, you will be disappointed . There was a friendly greeting and helpful attitude from the proprietors and staff. The continental breakfast was nice and quite adequate - we weren't expecting a full English breakfast. Overall, we thought that what was provided for the price was absolutely fine and we would be happy to stay here again.

“Very Average Guesthouse”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2010

This is a guesthouse or even a large B&B, not a hotel.

It is set in a large old house and because it has not be fully refurbished, everything feels a bit old and jaded. The rooms are large and clean, but lack character and our bathroom was definitely beginning to show its age.

Reception is not always manned and there is no restaurant.

Breakfast was continental only, but the croissants were good and fresh.

There is a large garden with loungers which probably be nice in the summer.

Finally it is expensive for what it is.
