Wonderful

Friendly, attentive staff. Tasty breakfast. Comfortable room, with complementary gin. Enjoyed spending time in the spa. Used our Expedia reward in the bar, relaxing in front of the fire. A great birthday getaway. Just a shame that they feel the need to charge for parking. Would certainly recommend Rothay Garden and hope to return in the future.
Fantastic hotel, spotlessly clean, great breakfast in beautiful surroundings.
Last minute booking at a great price, staff friendly.
Just to note there was a £10 parking charge which i didnt see mentioned in the booking

Disliked: Staff & service
Great room and lovely spa. However one incredibly rude staff in the restaurant that made you feel like asking any question was insulting. For how expensive it is you don’t expect to be treated like that!
Hotel is lovely and the spa is fab, great location and the staff were lovely. The food was mostly good however the portion size for our evening meal was a joke, absolutely tiny, and the breakfast wasn’t great either, the sausages and bacon had obviously been pre-cooked and hanging around for a while and dried out. The music in the restaurant was absolutely awful, terrible covers of songs. In short, I would definitely stay at the hotel again but won’t eat at the restaurant again sunless they improve it. The jumble room down the road was incredible
Good hotel in great location for walking/cycling. Great breakfast choice ,reasonable evening meal as well but small portions.
The only thing that really disappoints is they add gratuity to each drink you buy & to the evening meal…65p & 7.50 respectively. They have also started to charge £10 car parking.
Comfortable nights sleep, the food was excellent, high quality ingredients and cooked beautifully. Only 2 things that where bit of issue was £10 a day parking at hotel, which was extra think for the money you pay to stay, it should be included. The hotel spa wasn’t working due to refurbishment but didn’t know about it until we arrived .

Disappointing Stay.
Whilst the hotel itself is nice. We weren't made to feel welcome on arrival the receptionist clearly didnt want to be there and put a sour note on our stay. The customer service as a whole was lacking. The bathroom wasn't maintained and felt unclean. Overall it is a shame as a nice location and could be brilliant however we wouldn't return.
