Guildford Harbour Hotel

We were awaken at about 4.45 am by an irritating siren-like noise for about half an hour. It stopped and continued again with another different annoying sound for more than an hour. It was so disturbing and we were so tired with jetlag. We tried to call the reception many times. The phone too needs checking up. We had to go down personally to inform the reception in the early hours of the morning. The maintenance personnel finally came after 7am. We find their explanation rather strange & funny, i.e. even the use of perfume or any ointment can trigger the annoying alarm! We cldnt help laughing when the receptionist told us that even a loud fart can trigger the alarm! The maintenance peronnel told us that the lack of oxygen in the room could perhaps be the trigger. Shouldn’t that be a health warning to the hotel management especially for a 4 star hotel with spa?

Hotel was lovely and clean. Could do with offering free parking for all guests. The spa was small but really lovely and clean. You have to walk through the bar to get to it though which is strange. Bedroom was big and spacious with dressing gowns and slippers. Overall, a really lovely hotel.
