Arnos Manor Hotel

Very disappointed. Well below my expectations. The welcome from a lady doing Xmas decorations was pleasant but that's where it ended. The receptionist was more interested in taking money than ensuring I was satisfied. A parking charge was added, when I said that it was not on the booking, I was told an email was sent afterwards!!!! Furniture in room is very tatty & BOTH chairs wobbled badly. Bathroom was very tired. The TV only had a few channels. No USB port anywhere (my fault for forgetting my plug) Very cheap toilet paper! This is a CREST hotel, we expect better. I was going to dine there use the bar & breakfast but I went to the Black Tower over the road instead. So charging me for the parking cost them around £50 in lost revenue!!!

Bathroom was not clean there was hair everywhere and mould growing in the shower, the towels were stained and the room floor was dirty! The room was very loud being next to a main road but the staff were amazing kind and friendly! The breakfast being served at 8am on my last day meant I was paying £9 or whatever it was for toast because I had to go to work which was fairly upsetting

Food was poor

The hotel was clean, staff friendly and the breakfast menu had a wide range of varieties.

Nice location, pleasant staff

Room ok but dated, quite noisy as the secondary glazing had been removed and the old wooden windows didn’t close fully. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

There for a 40th birthday party. My son and daughter in law did all the decorating and catering so can’t say too much about staff. The bar did run out of a particular beer so we had use the main hotel bar and at breakfast they had run out of white bread!,

Reception staff friendly, bar lacking in stock, dated rooms and single mattress topper used on double bed so not very comfortable.

Friendly staff and nice clean room

Friendly and helpful reception staff. Comfortable room. Clean and quiet. Ideally located for our concert venue. Handy parking.

Yes

Friendly staff

Could do with a freshen up

Lovely big room

Hotel need a spruce up

With only two staff on, when the barman goes on a brake the receptionist can not book a meal for you. i.e. they cant press the appropriate keys on the till. This happened on not one, but two nights. Next the set meals come with a drink, when I made the booking it showed the meats can also have the Hobgoblin, on the night I was told that was not the case! In the room after I used the soap in the bath it was not refilled, likewise having gone out to get a meal, the empty box was not removed from my room in the morning. Overall not impressed, especially when the booking agency (Expedia/ Hotels.com) had made an error on the booking and the hotel point blankly refused to refund the booking so I was forced to go there as well.

We found the Arnos in need of a serious update, especially the bathrooms. If we were to stay here again it would have to be much cheaper given the state of the rooms. The best part about our stay was the service, which was great.

Convenient, friendly staff, good food

Welcoming staff were great, leaving staff were hard to find. Bit dusty but otherwise clean. Other guests were a bit inconsiderate at night but people are ****'s

Having read some of the reviews for the hotel i was dreading my visit. But I was veey pleasantly surprised. I had a big room qith a massive kingsize bed despite my booking indicating it was a standard double. The room was clean and tidy and the bathroom whilst small and maybe a little in need of updating, had a fabulous shower. Staff were polite and helpful, happily arranging an extra quilt to be sent to my room the second night of my stay due to the weather having dropped very cold. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice and well worth the 9.95. The only downside to my stay was on the morning after my first night when roadworks started very loudly on the road just outside my groundfloor room, which meant I got eudely awakened at 8am with drilling going on for the next couple of hours. However, this was doubtless outside the hotel's control and when i spoke to reception they did offer me the chance ro move rooms if I wanted to but I didnt need to in the end as the roadworks had gone before the next morning. I would be happy to stay here again.
