8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and vibrant but there was no fridge. When I asked they said a fridge is only placed in the room on request. This is the club room in a 4-star hotel. Everything else is fine. Breakfast was good and the pool. Note: Some construction work currently ongoing at the property."

Harbour Hotel Guildford

Harbour Hotel Guildford

8/10 Good
"The hotel was very comfortable, and its location near the city center made it easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 for one reason. Our room was advertised as a nice window room, but the window looked into a dirty structure with barbed wire, inside the building, overlooking the lounge. I kept the curtains closed the whole stay because looking out gave me the major ick. I would suggest covering those windows with an opaque film that still lets light through, so guests don't have to see the garbage right outside."

Macdonald Frimley Hall Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This visit was only a one night quick overnight as we were attending the golf at Wentworth. Arrived quite late and left early. The rooms are spotlessly clean with a lovely comfortable bed with high quality bedding. The bathroom is very nice with a great size shower. This isn’t my first visit and definitely won’t be my last."
