Awful - do not book this hotel!

Reviewed By yve_1968

I booked a luxury break and went as a solo traveller for one night. Travelling alone seemed to confuse the reception staff who asked if I wanted a table for 2 at dinner and even after reminding him I was alone, he then said a table for 2 at breakfast. I was given a black fluffy furry dressing gown and a towel that could fit around a child easily but not an adult. The furry dressing gown was not suitable as it remained wet, a towelling dressing gown would have been more suitable. I was not given directions to my room or told anything about the facilities in the hotel or where to find them. I was told when I leave room the following day, the towel and dressing gown should be returned to reception. Not left in the room (so I returned my wet towel and damp dressing gown when leaving). Only one towel person client. So when that towel is wet, you have to continue to use it. My shower kept turning hot then cold when in use. When not in use it would switch on randomly. My room was cold so I slept in my hoodie. The room brochure said Netflix and Prime could be accessed by logging in. Neither worked. The WiFi was terrible. The spa was dirty. I went into the jacuzzi and there was a film of scummy brown stuff (dead skin, sweat, oils etc) floating as a residue on the top of the bubbles. I came out because it was like sitting in a bath used by 20 strangers!! The sauna was not working. Patrons were not encouraged to use the shower before entering the spa. I watched people come straight from the gym and get straight into the jacuzzi/bath! There were no staff around the spa pool area. There was a hydro pool outside that seemed quite popular but I couldn't get in it because by this point I had lost interest in using their dirty facilities. I was told the spa closes 3 hours earlier at the weekend, which seemed to make no sense to me. It began to rain so I stayed in my room for most of my visit. I went for dinner, ordered chicken. I was told it was a good choice because they had nothing left because it was jubilee weekend. When my chicken came, it was raw on the inside. I ordered desert and only 2 things were available on a menu of 6 things - ice cream and lemon tart. I mentioned to the waitress my chicken wasn't cooked on the inside and was told "sorry about that". I went to bed so disappointed, got up early, ate a burnt breakfast (my expectations were zero at this point so it was no surprise) then I checked out 3 hours early! What should have been a relaxing break away was a disaster! This place is a complete shambles! The customer service is very poor! The room outdated and cold. There is nothing I would recommend about this hotel except the view from my room. Take my advice and stay somewhere else!!!

Amazing Value and Great Experience

Reviewed By AlexandriaRachelle

I have stayed here on multiple trips to Guildford from Canada while receiving medical treatment. The front end staff are amazing, it is a lovely space where you can feel at home (lots of patio/outdoor space and/or areas to lounge on your computer in the lobby/front end area). The breakfast staff are always wonderful and friendly (for example, I couldn't sleep from jet lag on my latest stay and they put on the free coffee maker for me at 4:00am after I gave up on sleeping). The rooms are decent (comfortable beds, spacious with nice light) with great water pressure in the shower. Wish each room had a microwave and fridge as I would stay longer if I had the ability to store food as it is a great place. Only note is that dinner service at the bar/resto is often quite slow and I was forgotten about or not served after sitting for +20 minutes on numerous occasions, but overall one of my favourite hotels to stay at globally! Try the lamb shanks :)

Beautiful location which is made even better by the well kept gardens, the moment you drive through the gate you know you have arrived somewhere special. The hotel itself is lovely and clean and exquisitely well kept made even better by the fantastic staff who I can’t praise highly enough, if you thought manors and customer service was in decline then think again because the all of the staff were brilliant

Guildford Harbour Hotel & Spa

Guildford Harbour Hotel & Spa experience starts in the hotel’s lobby - a spectacular, light-drenched atrium with a glittering chandelier, dazzling rainbow coloured decor and funky, yet comfortable, seating that sprawls to an alfresco terrace. It’s one of the most popular places to meet in Guildford, right in the heart of the town. Whether you are staying for business or pleasure, the availability of top quality food and drink is always a priority. The HarBAR, the hotel’s heart and hub, is a relaxed, all-day affair, a place to go for anything from a full meal, to decadent afternoon tea, or even just a coffee and slice of cake with an emphasis on comfort and atmosphere. For gloriously tender cuts of traditionally reared, grass-fed beef, you can step next door to the lively Long Bar & Grill - a popular and atmospheric Guildford destination. On Fridays and Saturdays, the venue hums with live DJ’s and dancing. When the hard work is done, be it business or sightseeing, and you’re seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, the signature HarSPA awaits. There are seven individual treatment rooms at HarSPA, plus a hydrotherapy pool, plunge pool, stone oven sauna, mud rasul and an aromatic crystal steam room. Guests can even take a dip in HarSPA’s outdoor “Champagne Pool” with submerged seating and stress-relieving water jets. Brimming with historic castles and cathedrals, 300 acres of beautiful parkland and some of the best independent designer boutiques outside London, Guildford is so much more than a peaceful commuter town. Located just 30 minutes away by train from central London, it is the ideal base for exploring the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as discovering nearby attractions and local villages including Shere Village where parts of “The Holiday”, “Beauty & The Beast” and “Bridget Jones Diary” were filmed.

Lovely hotel

Reviewed By Dream721413

Actually stayed at this hotel after our flights being cancelled at Gatwick but honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to have stayed! Lovely hotel, so welcoming, hotel provided us with breakfast, lunch and dinner during the difficult and unexpected circumstances. Very modern and clean. (Also smelt very nice in reception area!) Used the spa area which was great, definitely use the outdoor pool if you get the chance! Hotel really central and close to lots of shops and restaurants. I didn’t catch the managers name but there was a gentleman who really made us feel welcome and was checking we were all ok, so thankyou so much this went such a long way for us! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! (Maybe without it being sent from the airport!)

Very good

Perfect for me although I did have to ring them to find it as I didn't see the signs initially. It all worked well for me on business although it did say "All rooms offer Egyptian cotton linen, feather duvets and pillows" and I very much doubt my single room had any of these. Lovely breakfast.

We were to stay here while visiting relatives, one of whom is poorly. We were all set to go but got back to back cancelled flights from Edinburgh to Gatwick with EasyJet so informed the hotel that we couldn’t come. Our booking was non refundable but we were extremely pleased when we were sent an email stating we had been given a full refund by this hotel. When were able to reschedule our visit, we will certainly rebook at The Mandolay.
