This is a fantastic old palace as a lot of history and I quite like old buildings but the best thing about this hotel is the staff on reception very friendly very helpful.
Stay was very good with lovely grounds and surroundings. There were a couple of frustrations - there were no towels in my room and I had to go to reception to collect some, and there was a long wait at the restaurant; I waited 1.5 hours for a caesar salad (including 15 minutes waiting to be served).
Otherwise a good stay and I would use them again.
Not a great place, stains on bed runner, cobwebs above the bed, dirty air inlet above the pillow end of the bed, the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were like sleeping on a bag of spanners, there was no drinking water provided even though it was touching 30degress outside, we had to wait until 8am the following morning to get a drink from the restaurant. one of our party refused to stay there and actually drove home!
I did raise a complaint to the hotel.
Nice and friendly hotel. The room was really clean and tidy. The bed and pillows were very comfy.
Great one night stay

An ok stay
We checked in late at night but the car park was so poorly lit that we couldn’t find reception, we ended up going through an open fire exit on the second floor. Although a hot day, the rooms were extremely stuffy and hot, making it uncomfortable to be in, despite there being a fan in the room. Bathroom facilities were average, powerful shower and nice towels. Friendly reception staff. Over priced for the experience we had.
Lovely hotel friendly staff and well situated to get in to London.

I stayed here when it was Theobalds Park and the hotel is going through a full renovation which can make the place look totally unfinished.
The only negative was that there was no work desk in my room - but I was told that this is going to be rectified and most room do have a desk.
I would definitely stay again
It was great,
Very convenient, quiet location and relaxing.
I don’t know the details as to what was eco-friendly.
Didn’t do breakfast as price was too high.
Just have normal bedside tables, the wood stump and small box weren’t big enough or necessary.
Very nice quiet area. Easy to find. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is clean with a nice decor. The whole place has a nice relaxing ambience.
All staff at this establishment are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the chef was happy to accommodate my allergies which rarely happens!
Rooms are clean and the outdoor area and bar is an extra bonus!
Low level customer service, Rode old lady in reception, but other receptionists were nice ladies.
All rooms in this place has Toilet flashing issue. Bath has bad covering design, after taking shower you have the toilet floor full wet. And they do not do house keeping every day.
They need some major refurbishment.
