Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were stylishly presented and comfortable, though noisy due to external factors like a nearby car park and event noise. However, they were very clean. Service was mixed, ranging from unhelpful to excellent, with some drawbacks regarding communication about events on the premises. The location was grand with a cozy log fire ambiance, though there were some issues with proper facility management. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some exceptional days and some disappointments. Facilities offered were somewhat standard.
The hotel offers spacious and very nice rooms, but needs some touch-ups like replacing tired chairs and adding a sofa. The service, while prompt in most areas, had some slight delays with certain requests. The location is perfect for relaxation and exploring nearby eateries. The dining experience was not outstanding, but the breakfast and evening service were good. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was a mixed experience. The lovely bedding in the rooms was a nice touch, but the poor cleanliness, with dog hairs everywhere, was a major downside. The rooms being unbelievably hot at night affected my comfort. The service, while generally helpful, had some issues with being very slow, a recurring problem from my previous stay. The location, with parkland surroundings and excellent for dogs, was a beautiful retreat, but the value for money might not be justified for some. The dining experience, although good overall, had a hiccup with a delayed breakfast delivery. Overall, a somewhat average stay with ups and downs.
I recently stayed at the hotel after a company Christmas party and booked a room advertised as a garden view, which was not ideal for being on the ground floor with a pram. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially at reception, making my stay enjoyable. The location, although cold at times due to the front door being open, was convenient for my meetings at St Heliers Hospital. The dining experience was most enjoyable, with a great view of the Cannizaro grounds.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean, were dated and dark, with a modest size and limited space. The service was lackluster, with pretentious room names and a reduction in security. The location was great for exploring the area, but there were some noise disturbances. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with beautiful views but a drain smell in the room. Overall, the facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable with character but could have been cleaner. The service was excellent in general, but there were instances of being rushed during breakfast. The location was great for walks and appointments nearby but not very close to the underground. Dining was good overall, with a lovely garden view but some inedible options.
The hotel is a bit confusing with room names but offers a lovely view over Canizzaro Park at the rear of the building. The rooms are dominated by their beds, leaving little space for anything else. The service was a mixed bag with some staff continuing private conversations but others looking after guests brilliantly. The location is good for walking the dog on Wimbledon Common and visiting local village attractions. The breakfast experience is average with a lack of options. The hotel has good facilities but lacks attention to detail in some areas.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was nice, and the rooms were comfortable. However, the dining options were limited. The service was polite and accommodating, even though some requests took longer than expected. The garden and park surrounding the hotel added to the charm. The homemade marmalade at breakfast was a nice touch.
