Four star????

Well a four star is a bit of a stretch… The hotel is old clearly, but also not well kept. The rooms need serious updating….its a very basic hotel. Only one lift worked near the front desk and it was so small. The staff was friendly, but if you are at all weird about hotels this one would be a challenge for you.

The property is great in appearance ,cleanliness ,location etc There were 4 firearms and unlike others I always respond to them. The first one was off by the time I was dressed at approximately 1-1:30. The second one again was short and was at about 2:15 now I went down to here that it was false alarm , first one someone smoking the room , 3rd time after 3 it was another story and there was discussion by staff of turning off the system . There were people leaving the hotel and many other frustrated guests. The 4 th was the final one for me after the 3rd I had packed and I was going to leave the hotel. There were 2 police at the front desk reacting to a frustrated guest who had broken a picture or framed notice. After a discussion with other guests they appeared to be concerned about how staff was handling this situation in a 200 room hotel ( fully booked) . I have travelled in 40 of the 50 states in the USA and all Provinces and Territories in my Country Canada, and all but 4 or 5 countries in Europe . I have never a situation so badly handled by Staff, it was as if there were no safety protocols in this Hotel.

Terrible stay

We had a terrible stay, false fire alarm going off many times during the night. Woke up the whole hotel. Customer service was horrible with no answers during this situation and no compensation for any of the guests. Many guests in lobby complaining and wanted answers. We found another hotel at 5am and checked out early. Called the hotel for a refund and emailed them, still no answers. Not sure how this is a 4 star hotel. I expected more from them. Will not recommend

I make specifications (not all) but the lobby staff should be more friendly, I didn't know that the hotel didn't have air conditioning and the refrigerators couldn't be used.

We were allocated a room, there was a terrible smell of sewage in the room. We looked for a change of rooms and this was arranged. Breakfast was very good although some of the cooked food was cold.

Beautiful

Honestly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The Bonnington was easy to get to by bus , easy check in and check out . The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, spacious and very clean . Good amenities available and walking distance from bus stop, restaurants and shops . Can’t recommend this hotel enough

Neil

Disliked: Amenities
This hotel is a complete disappointment and does not meet expectations at all. The building looks like an old, run-down house. At reception, three employees seemed overwhelmed and unprofessional. I arrived at 14:40 and wasn’t allowed to check in until 15:00. In the meantime, I had a club sandwich with fries for €15. Which was okay. The room is furnished with outdated, worn, and cheap furniture. The so-called wellness area is a joke – it looks like a school swimming pool. The sauna and Turkish bath are extremely basic, the area is not clean, and the plastic loungers are impossible to relax on. Even the shower didn’t get properly warm. Charging CHF 170 per night for this is outrageous.
