北安普敦Hartwell Pocket Park附近住宿

Had arrived from the Hilton in Harrogate which was brilliant. Had high hopes for the brand when I arrived at this hotel. Walked in to reception and all I can say is appearances can be deceiving. Once you look past the chandeliers and flowers it’s evident this isn’t up to the usual Hilton standard. The first receptionist I spoke to was either shy or new. Very basic service, more time spent looking at the screen. Had to ask the usual questions, breakfast times/location:car parking payment etc.. Got told it was on my key card. That’s great but I’m asking you in person and having stayed at many hotels this is usually standard. The rooms are very basic and the hotel does need modernising. The receptionist kindly moved me (thank you Eva) as I could hear everything in the original room I was allocated, and the adjoining door between my room and the one next door didn’t seem to secure.. I found the family room I was given slightly more modern but the beds creaked awfully. Luckily I always take ear plugs. Bathrooms had those horrible shower heads that emit shed loads of spray, not ideal if you are trying not to get your hair wet and just have a wash. They do provide shower caps though. There is also a reminder to be vigilant with the shower curtain as the spray shower heads soak everything! Food in the restaurant was mediocre but prompt. Hilton prices without quality. Had the risotto which was essentially pea and cream, no taste of mint. It was a huge portion though and served quickly. Girls on service were very friendly but had to be reminded as to service. I was also given pudding without a spoon, had to go exploring as there were no staff to help find one. Pudding was bizarre, a lemon sponge thing on a bed of granola. Tasted like a dandelion. Had intended to use the gym, but to be honest I didn’t want to stay here longer than I needed to. In sum, not awful but not great. Standard no higher than a Holiday Inn, albeit they are more modern and don’t charge their guests for parking.

This is a magnificent and quite unique hotel - in the grounds of Castle Ashby estate. The entire environment and decor is restful and relaxing. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is healthy and delicious. This was our second stay and we are already planning our return. Open water swim and yoga were enjoyable and reviving. Definitely worth a stay - if you are UK resident you will wonder why you've never visited Northamptonshire before - if you're from abroad this is a magical part of the UK. And the Palace Gardens (Capability Brown designed) are absolutely magnificent with free entry for hotel guests - a day out in themselves.

房間很充足,服務也很好。遺憾的是,他們沒有在房間裏提供瓶裝水等基本設施。對於成本,你會認爲會提供 相當基本的成本。茶咖啡沒有提供額外的食物,儘管像餅乾等

非常傳統的英式酒店，就像回到十八世紀。環境好，英式早餐，很有味道的一家酒店。

週末和朋友一起住在這裏;可愛的房間,享受晚餐和早餐。會推薦。唯一的缺點是所有飲料都要支付服務費,而你卻沒有通知。我們詢問我們的酒吧賬單,因爲這個賬單沒有意義,一位工作人員告訴我們所有購買商品都要支付10%的費用。酒吧區周圍沒有跡象通知你這一點。我們被告知,員工不允許告訴你這件事。對我來說,這似乎是欺詐行爲。當然,你不能因爲每次去酒吧買飲料而受到指控?不確定員工是否拿到了這筆錢還是公司。如果這是公司的政策,他們是否違反了法律,不通知你這一點?請小心。
