My daughter and I arrived at The Cavendish on Christmas Day, after a long flight. We were able to check in early (that was nice), but when we asked about breakfast, we were directed to the only option (everything else in town appeared to be closed for Christmas) -- a large fixed price breakfast buffet -- and it was very...

When we first arrived we were told we were on the 2nd floor - there was no one to help with our suitcases but luckily we are able to carry these ourselves as our room was up 4 flights of stairs. The room was very small and the bed a queen size. The ledge of the one bedside cabinet we... More

I stayed here on a business visit and found the service faultless and enjoyed very much the buffet breakfast each morning. I came back with my family and was quite disappointed by the drop in quality. Front desk did not make a very good impression this time round. The breakfast spread that I raved on to my wife about was... More

If you like to go back to basics, this is the place to be: tiny rooms (max width 2m), lukewarm water only and the shower has no water pressure so it takes about 15 minutes to rinse your hair. No hairdryer that works, no lift, no comfort, lots of funny smells, traffic noise 24/7 and you can hear everything your... More

We booked a triple room for 3 adults and ended up with a double bed and a pull out sofa which was unbearable and should have been thrown out years ago. There was only 2 cups. The breakfasts that came were not what we ordered and the waitresses struggled to understand. The room was very expensive for what we got.... More

I would never even put an enemy in this hotel - it's the worst I have stayed in in the whole world, and I've stayed in some terrible places! The rooms are tiny (there was no room to put my suitcase down in the room), the manager won't speak to you when you want to complain and they call themselves... More

On walking into my room I thought I had gone into the broom closet by accident. There was just room for a 6 foot bed no room for me and my bag in what little floor space was left. The shower stank of dampness and had the musky smell of a room left without any ventilation. The extractor was not... More

Stayed in this hotel on business in October, and was never so glad to leave. The hotel is dirty, the room standard is below that of a two star and the staff are indifferent if not ignorant, using the 'we don't understand' card constantly. The room considering the cost of the hotel is very small and the bathroom the size... More
