Was put in a room on the 2nd floor, air conditioning was not working & temp was unbearable. They put a mobile unit in the room but far too noisy. Ended up with 2 fans, not very good. No discount was offered for the inconvenience.

Clean: The whole hotel room included was immaculately clean. Staff: very friendly ladies greeted us on the front desk and took us through the checking process. Very straight forward. Hollie greeted us every morning with a smile & friendly chat nothing was too much trouble with serving us our breakfast. Which I have to say my pancakes were amazing. Parking: very easy pulled up to the gate unfortunately a little glitch the button to call the desk it didn’t work I walked in and the lady on the desk buzzed my husband through but it was one of the hottest days of the year so not a major problem. We have stayed several times and that’s the first time we had a problem.

As usual my stay was wonderful The staff cannot do enough for you Standards in all areas are very high! This is what keeps me returning…on that note, I’m wondering if there could be some kind of reward , ie a free dinner, or returning guests?!

What an amazing hotel, we had a two day stay in the Venetian Suite, a lovely room. Greyfriars is a beautiful hotel with a chilled vibe. On our second night, (after our wedding) we walked in and the staff had filled the suite with rose petals and some lovely chocolates. We live around 30 minutes away but will be staying again for a date night or two 😉

Clean room, courteous staff, good parking Breakfast was good, however noticed Weetabix packets, I was served over a month out of date, waitress apologised. Hopefully just human error, no repercussions so far
