Good Accomodation

Thank you for your review. I am pleased you had a wonderful overnight stay with us, but I apologise you found the breakfast to be disappointing. Our breakfast is complimentary and we offer full cooked breakfast along with a wide variety of continental produce as well. We normally receive glowing reviews for our breakfast and it's a great shame you didn't mention your disappointment to a member of the team on the day. I hope this doesn't deter you from staying with us again when you are next in the area. Jason Bartella Managing Director

Mislead, parched and out of pocket.

Having running water, being charged for my 'complimentary' breakfast, having £40 withheld without explanation (I'm still waiting for that to be returned to me), and being charged £25 for the early che... more

HLGroup, Owner at Best Western Ivy Hill Hotel, responded to this review
Thank you for your review, but I am disappointed to read your comments as I note the hotel manager has been in contact with you; but you still feel the need to write via Trip Advisor. I apologise for the loss of water, this was caused by a slight airlock in the system and was immediately resolved. Your bedroom rate was inclusive of breakfast, and having checked your invoice I can see we haven't charged you additional charges for this. Regarding the early check in charge, the hotel was fully booked the night prior to your arrival and a £25 fee is a standard charge for occupying a room earlier than our normal 3pm checking in time. A pre-authorisation is also a standard procedure all hotels in the UK follow by. As the hotel manager confirmed to you, we have cancelled the pre-authorisation, but you need to contact your bank to release the funds as this is beyond our control. It's disappointing you feel you are no longer wanting to stay in Best Western's, as we are all independently owned and run. Jason Bartella Managing Director

Thank you for your review and for rewarding us with 5 stars. I am so pleased you all had a wonderful day celebrating your sons Christening and your review gives me hope you will have such joyous memories of this day. I am pleased you found the service from our staff, from booking this event, right up to on the day; to be 'brilliant'. I hope when you require a venue for another occasion, perhaps your son's birthday party; you think of us! Jason Bartella Managing Director
