Could have been such a lovely stay.

Stayed at Wildes Inns for a family wedding and have to say that, unfortunately, we would not return. The venue was beautiful for the wedding and everything was lovely but the room was very small and exceptionally hot meaning we barely slept. We had also paid £50 extra to take our dog with us but she was in distress as it was far far too hot. We were two floors up with no lift available and the heat intensified as you went up the stairs. I appreciate air con may not be possible in an old building but maybe portable units should be in those rooms. Housekeeping did give us an extra fan but this wasn’t great. I couldn’t go for the included breakfast as we could not have left her to go for breakfast and just wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible as it was just breathless. I have now on return had the £50 holding charge taken from my account that my card number was taken for on check-in that I was told was a hold for if we charged anything to our room, which we didn’t. (Taken, not showing as pending) Such a shame as this really could have been a lovely stay but it was just really really spoiled by a number of things. My biggest take away I can give to others is please do not book this hotel with pets in summer, the temperature these rooms reach is not suitable.

We had a great stay

The staff were lovely, helpful, visible and polite. The food was great for the 50% off which it was that day. The restaurant, reception and room no complaints at all. The only thing I could say to improve would be the stairwell to the rooms wasn’t hoovered and didn’t look like it had been for a while. The carpet was also ripped in a couple of places.

Poor dining experience

Accommodation was fine Food was a totally poor experience Was a birthday celebration with family We ordered steak which was of very poor quality We were asked how we would like our steak cooking There was lots of confusion regarding which steak was for which diner on arrival at the table One member of the group requested his steak to be blue which it clearly wasn’t on arrival The waiter did return it to kitchen but were were then told there was no more steak available so he ordered ribs which again was of very poor quality and very small portion It was a very poor service overall When the young waiter bought the starters he couldn’t identify between prawns and calamari Surely that is down to training As if that wasn’t enough our daughter messaged us to ask if we were enjoying the meal She stated that she has emailed , rung and paid £36 for a bottle of wine that she hoped would be presented with our meal as a surprise This request was never carried out We were not difficult customers we just wanted to enjoy the experience Jake who I believe was one of the managers did understand and reassured us that our concerns would be followed up He personally rang my daughter and apologised and refunded my daughter He was most apologetic and dealt with the issues very professionally

Wedding Venue

Stayed for my daughter and son in laws wedding. Beautiful place, excellent day. My only complaint was that the bedrooms were unbelievably hot. Fans were provided but did nothing. It was so hot that hair and makeup were almost impossible and sleeping very difficult. I think also it would be a great help if there was somewhere bigger for the bridal party to get ready as the rooms are so small.

Stayed one night. Average room, stains on the couch No air con and hairdryer provided. Room location was facing a busy road. Could not sleep because of traffic as can hear with the window being open due to the stuffiness!

Very modern and nice place to stay. Given wrong room initially but it was sorted out. Staff weren't miserable but I wouldn't say they were happy either. Would recommend it but with reservations. Price of drinks was extortionate!

good overall stay

In the room we stayed in the walk in shower dribbles water out onto the bathroom floor , which is unavoidable , there is no soap holder on the shower and the drenching shower head wastes water and energy.

Lot of noise from the wedding below. Room far too hot, someone in our party asked about it and was told it was set at that and couldn’t change. I took a cold shower before trying to sleep. Not the best overnighted I’ve ever had.

Very nice hotel, however room for improvement.

Overall the stay was very good. Reception staff were friendly and extremely helpful in sorting out an issue. The bar/restaurant staff equally as friendly and helpful sorting out a couple of requests. The bar prices did seem quite excessive though. It’s actually slightly cheaper in central London at the tourist hotspots than at your bar. I stayed for a wedding so naturally the bar was going to be visited several times. I felt a little taken back with the bar prices. It took the edge off what could have been a perfect stay. A few other guests at the wedding did make comment on how expensive the bar was too. The window on our room only opened a small amount. I understand this is for safety but I feel it could have opened a little more for some fresh air. The window blind didn’t block out enough light in the morning for me. Could really do with some curtains as backup. The temp settings on the AC controls were confusing. Only could set 7, 8 or 9 degrees. The room itself was very nice and comfortable. I stay in a lot of hotels for business and don’t often see a TV as big as our room at Wildes Inns. So that is a positive. Bathroom very modern and clean also. Lots of mirrors and sockets around the room, that’s a big positive for me.
