Top séjour mais le housekeeping laisse à désirer

8.0

L’emplacement au calme et bien situé dans la ville, la taille de la suite, le petit déjeuner au Goodenough College, très bon et peu cher, la disponibilité du personnel

− Le nettoyage de la chambre. Plateaux et vaisselle non nettoyés, aspirateur non passé, papier toilette non renouvelé. Nous avons dû le signaler chaque jour à la reception pour que le necessaire soit fait.

Never paid £450 for a hotel room which could not provide a toothbrush

More than Goodenough in excellent, quiet, central location

10.0

The hotel is comprises a set of elegant large townhouses in a quiet square with a park in the centre. The rooms are spacious, airy, light and well-proportioned. Very comfortable. As one is entering a townhouse by its front door, one is free from other people and the bustle and clamour that characterise large hotels. One to remember.

L’hotel è molto bello, le camere molto pulite. Il problema principale è stato il fatto che non era specificato che la ca

7.0

Pulizia ottima e camere moderne e sofisticate

− Non hanno specificato che le camere erano sottoterra ovvero underground e per chi soffre di claustrofobia non sono il meglio

It was better than Good Enough!

10.0

Welcoming and helpful staff, the room was clean and very comfortable in a lovely old building. Breakfast at the Great Hall of the College was really special.

− Can’t think of anything, would happily stay again.

Un client Booking peut aussi devenir un ambassadeur de l’hôtel, ou pas...

5.0

Le look de l’hôtel est sympa, tout comme le personnel à la réception…

− La moquette, ce n’est déjà pas vraiment ma tasse de thé, mais alors une moquette sale, c’est clairement un NO GO… Et il y a autre chose que je remarque chez certains hôteliers quand je réserve via Booking : la chambre attribuée est souvent la plus petite de l’hôtel, un véritable placard à balai ou une chambre dans les combles… Je trouve ça vraiment dommage. À mon sens, ça devrait être exactement l’inverse : un client Booking devrait être considéré comme un ambassadeur potentiel de l’hôtel et de sa marque. C’est justement en lui offrant une bonne expérience qu’il aura envie de laisser un bon avis, de revenir et de recommander l’établissement.
