Our check in and out excellent - lovely staff. Room quite large. Wardrobe but no drawers to put clothes so had to stay in suitcase. Room clean but a bit tired. Had balcony which had good view of river, but it was rather shabby. We did enjoy our stay and glad we did stay there.

Skip the breakfast - cheeky supplements
Starting on a positive, the staff we met were lovely. To be fair we didn’t pay for a river room but were disappointed by the location of our room which was in an annex that was accessed from and looked over the car park so we didn’t feel like we were part of the main hotel despite the expensive cost of the room. It was the breakfast though that was really disappointing. At such an high additional cost we expected a real treat. However the continental side was disappointing. The cooked breakfast was ordered from a menu however there was a £6 additional supplement to be paid for half of the options and a £4 supplement if you wanted a coffee like a latte rather than just a filter which I have to admit was annoying. We wouldn’t have booked the breakfast if we would have known that. Unfortunately we wouldn’t stay again as it was over priced for what we received.

Nice one night stay
A lovely stay with my husband and 4 month old. All staff we encountered were lovely and helpful, and breakfast in the room was great though arrived a little early. Just a couple of negatives, although there was a baby on the booking we were given a room upstairs with no lift so we were unable to take the pram, however we did not ask to change rooms as we were only there for one night so I am not sure if this could have been resolved. Another negative was that we had a whirlpool bath in the bathroom which didn’t work, again as we were only there for one night and it was late when we discovered this we did not bring it to anyone’s attention so did not give the hotel the opportunity to resolve this. Overall a lovely stay.

Ok but nothing special
One night stay whilst visiting friends. Annual trip. We’re barely in the room so I booked a basic double - think I upgraded last year. Large room, overlooked car park, but ok, if a bit brown! The bathroom was terrible. Loo was dirty under the seat, shower tap/fitting rusty and falling apart. The whole hotel is now dated and needs money spending on it. Such a shame as years ago it was a very upmarket place. Now it’s very ordinary and overpriced for what it is.

Not bad
Really lovely staff. Super friendly and helpful. Lovely location in Marlow. Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment for the price. Supplement for eggs Benedict. Not sure why. Baked beans were the worst I had ever tasted. Had to send breakfast back as it was cold. Also really shocked at the service charge applied to every round of drinks at the bar that we went up and ordered and took back to our table ourselves. Not sure this is justified at all. Especially when paying £13 for a Bailey's!! Really lovely hotel just a few bits that disappointed.

A little disappointed.
Nice location and look and feel is good. Disappointed with the food in the Riverside Restaurant and definitely not value for money. This applies to dinner and breakfast. £20 for breakfast each and then a supplement of £6 if you wanted certain things like Avocado on toast instead of a full English. The full English was only one rasher of bacon one sausage one mushroom and half a tomato. We did decline the black pudding. The breakfast had obviously been cooked much earlier and left for some time to keep warm. At dinner We paid £4 for the smallest pot of nuts as a nibble to start with. The king prawn tagliatelle only had 5 prawns and the Chicken Milannaise was just chicken in breadcrumbs on a bed of green salad leaves. We had to pay £ 6 extra for the chips to go with it. This certainly wasn’t the standard of cuisine that we were expecting and paid for.
Tiny portion of nuts. !!

A lovely hotel in a beautiful spot but: Our group checked in separately and there was an issue with the need for an accessible room - we tried to call the hotel while out in the afternoon to resolve this before returning in the evening, the reservations inbox was full and just cut off and 2 calls to the hotel reception rang for half an hour each before we gave up. Lack of response was very poor! When we returned to the hotel the issue was resolved but due to inability to contact the hotel we were worried about this all afternoon. We paid a price to include breakfast but we’re very surprised to see on the menu that a “specialty “ coffee I.e. a cappuccino or latte would be £4 extra - not a major issue except left us feeling that every penny being squeezed out was more important than customer experience

My husband and I had a fantastic stay in a deluxe double overlooking the river for our recent wedding anniversary. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond for us, even before they knew it was a special occasion. Chris the concierge was wonderful and a joy to talk to. The restaurant in the hotel, Sindhu by Atul Kochhar, was lovely. Food delicious, and again the staff were impeccable. Great location only a short walk in to Marlow, where there are shops, pubs and restaurants to explore. We will definitely be back!
