Quite uncomfortable due to the freezing cold room

The room was freezing cold. We couldn't get the temperature above 15oC and the air conditioning blew cold air all night. The shower room was freezing , even with the heated towel rail on. The breakfast wasn't very hot. The receptionist took a note of the problems we had encountered but didn't really offer any apology.

Overpriced, badly managed and bad service

The fact that its a spa hotel yet we couldn't use the Spa. Priority was given to locals and ppl who booked outside of booking.com. Feel cheated out of that given its a spa hotel and that's why we paid the overpriced rate yo go there. Also the service was bad and the food was bad. Took 40 minutes for breakfast to arrive and when it did it was presented by a young gentlemen who was covered in what patches. Poor guy, but not an appetising sight.

Very, very disappointing meal

Just returned from what potentially could have been a lovely meal. Unset table, warm water, and under cooked over priced risotto. When mentioned waitress replied as if trying to educate us that it was 'al dente'....... this doesn't translate as crunchy. Other food items did not match description. Won't be returning, and this probably explains why only 3 tables were taken all evening.

Regular guest but never again!

Confused that after requesting a quiet room - I am next to a noisy lift. Reception seem to think hotel is busy but rooms still available on line, restaurant and car park not at all busy. Why would they ignore a reasonable request from a regular visitor?

Great stay with great service

Turned up with a party of 16, had to add a plus one and was well accommodated, really good food and service, mine didn't arrive as expected but the team put it right straight away, always difficult with a large party of people, but the food came almost simultaneously for everyone which was unexpected, food was excellent from that point, the place has a lovely historic feel to it as several of our party had been here before over the last couple of decades, would definitely return myself.

Don't bother going here.

Went on sunday and arrived at about 12:15. decided to have the sunday lunch which was advertised as roast beef or another roast meat, we were told that only beef was available and when it arrived it looked and tasted like very cheap meat, the mashed potatoes served with it were cold. the pudding was ok but the custrd served with this was also cold. will not be going again

Really disappointing

Unfortunately we were really disappointed with the quality and service. The meals arrived promptly but both mine and my partner’s main course weren’t cooked properly. In my case the chips served with fish were under cooked and inedible. My partner ordered a mushroom sandwich was overcooked to a sloppy tasteless melee. Fish and chips is usually a pub food staple and whilst the fish served wasn’t as bad as the chips it wasn’t great either and it shouldn’t be so difficult to get right.

Over priced and dirty

We had the twilight package for the spa and evening meal in the restaurant! The “spa” is a swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Very small area and was dirty. Towels and robes given were also dirty and had to request new ones, then was given a robe so worn and ripped! Girl on reception was rude and did not have a clue how to work her computer system. Didn’t explain anything to us and just pointed us in the direction of the changing room. Staff for the treatment turned up 5 minutes late.

Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

What the heck was going on?

The food, whilst I can’t say has been bad in recent times, it is not what it used to be and it has gone down-hill. The customer service however, has noticeably declined. Gone are the friendly and helpful staff who could guarantee a decent service, rather it appears to be more of a bunch of kids in charge here, arguable more interested in socialising than taking down the details of orders correctly, nor ensuring all meals arrive somewhat together – if at all.

Home cooked food at its best

This is a lovely little pub, with lovely home cooked food. The menu has plenty for everyone, and there is a specials board each day. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. . Whilst there is a large car park across road, it can be a bit tricky crossing the road at bust times.

POOR QUALITY SERVICE

The service was very poor and I was not impressed with the quality. Waiting staff were lounging around and watched me eat which made me feel very uncomfortable. Felt like I was rushed out of the restaurant and given the bill without me even asking for it! WOULD NOT RETURN

I was mis sold my room at the Aztec Hotel

I selected the hotel using the 'refine search' functions and found one with a pool. I booked this and it was not until I had my payment accepted and confirmation that it said the price did not include the pool. apparently this is only for people booking direct. I was mis sold my room, unfortunately this started my stay on a negative and its quite difficult to see positives after you know you have been duped. the hotel blamed booking.com.
