What a shame, the new rooms are lovely but...
On arrival, there were no staff anywhere, one customer in the deserted bar, an empty dining room, no one. Eventually a member of staff appeared, with no apology. The room was tired but OK, however in the morning none of the lights int he room, including the bathroom worked, meaning a shave by the torch on my phone. Unlikely I will return.

Reasonably happy!
Nice clean hotel. However there seemed to be a bit of a mix up with the booking at check-in. Probably due to the fact I had to amend the booking. There also seemed to be an over charge from the original booking. I had been charged for superior rooms after I amenended. We were given standard rooms, I think there seems to be a lack of communication between the hotel and hotels.com!

1) Good location with nice garden and river 2) Most rooms do not have air conditioning even though the website says air conditioned rooms. 3) Staff gave us rooms in different blocks even though we had one booking as a family. Hotel policy should be reviewed as rooms under one policy should not be so far apart. 4) Room service was not available after 10:30pm 5) Coffee machine was broken
