Hotel Mayfair

This hotel was a contradiction. Lovely lobby and sitting areas with great decor, lots of gorgeous Danish furniture and design. The staff were great - friendly, helpful and laid back, and there was a. nice outside area to sit in the sun when it came out. Our room seemed to contradict the style and decor of the rest. of the hotel, though. It was dark and corporate, but lacked a kettle, proper ventilation in the bathroom, which meant after a hot shower you couldn't look in the mirror for about twenty minutes because it was steamed up! When, after a day of walking I wanted a hot shower, the water was lukewarm, which was not really acceptable after we'd paid for such a basic facility - there should be constant hot water. It was also a cramped room, with the bed taking up too much space and the dark carpet and walls were gloomy. It seems like while the frontage of the. hotel was refurbed (to lovely effect) the rooms have been left as they were under the old ownership (possibly?). That all sounds negative, but we did enjoy our stay and with just fixes to the rooms (brightening them up, putting in nicer furniture, and a kettle so us Brits can have a nice cup of tea, and addressing the bathroom situation) it would be gorgeous. Top marks to the staff, who were unfailingly lovely and warm.

Room was not as described, room was classed as a ‘modest double’ the bed was too small and crammed into a corner with just a mattress topper and two small duvets, only way onto it was to crawl from the end, luckily we were okay as a couple in our twenties but people with mobility issues may struggle The bathroom was okay but we came into a dirty toilet and half a toilet roll, raised doubts as to whether this was cleaned before the previous guests, there was no extraction fan meaning we had to leave the windows open to avoid a damp smell, Location is great with a half an hour walk to the local attractions whilst also being a stones throw from the train station, I feel with a better room choice this could have easily have been a 4/5 or 5/5 review, however the pictures on the overview were different to the room given
