Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was clean and well presented and in an excellent location. Check in was swift and effortless with one issue causing me to never wanting to use the hotel again or reccomend it to anybody else. Bed was comfortable and shower was hot. This should be a nailed on excellent review. However.... -£272 for one night (fair enough it's in a premium location) -You will be charged a £50 deposit upon arrival 'in case you were to use room service and fail to settle the bill'! -The £50 deposit is not immediately refundable and can take UP TO TWO WEEKS to be returned to your bank. Upon speaking to the hotel management i was informed that it 'wasn't their fault but my banks'!! Absolutely disgusting and cynical practice from a so called premium hotel. I will not use them again.

the room 128 was unacceptably small for 2 people, need to take it in turns to dress. about 14 inches either side of the bed. size of wash room and shower was like being on a small boat. i would have checked out but couldn't get a response from the hotel or expedia if i would not have to pay for the room. expedia service was a bot and was also not acceptable. i would not have booked the room if i had known how small it was. we called it the broom cupboard.

The property itself is ideally located and the room we stayed in was nice and well maintained. We opted for one of the deluxe rooms with a balcony. This was a mistake. DO NOT BOOK ONE OF THESE ROOMS. The other rooms are probably fine. The balcony rooms are directly over the bar. The bar blasts loud club music every night well past midnight. We called and complained but it was lowered very slightly and only for a short period of time and was then raised again. Our neighbors knocked on our door to complain thinking we were playing the music. They too then called the bar but to no avail. We booked the room hoping for a quiet couple of days in the Lake District. Neither my wife nor I are light sleepers but we had to blast white noise to cover the loud bass. We got very poor sleep both nights. This is likely not a problem with the other rooms. I even saw mention of this in another review before I booked but I naively assumed it was just an over-sensitive complainer. There are a myriad of nice big hotels and cute bed and breakfasts in this area with equally great views and locations. Wish we would have stayed at one of those. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BOOK THIS HOTEL, DO NOT BOOK THE ROOMS WITH BALCONIES, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

We have been mid sold that the hotel has a pool and sauna from Expedia which was the reason why we book this hotel. These facilities were also on the Ro hotel website! We request a part refund of the £320 paid
