“Ok Hotel, but naff room”

Blanes Court Hotel

8 Oct 2006
2/5 found this review helpful

Stayed here for one night, I was struggling to find accomodation indeed Blanes only had 1 room left which was a single room with no ensuite. Nice enough place but the room was (no word of a lie) approx 12ft by 5ft the TV was situated over the bed and the room and duvet stunk of cigarettes although I was informed the room is very rarely used.

The staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice I would possibly stay here again based on getting a different room.

Location was good 10 minutes walk into Guildford.

It cost £48 which in hindsight was too much for this room

“Very sweet”

Blanes Court Hotel

11/14 found this review helpful

I stayed here for 3 nights in June, whilst studying in Guildford. The building is gorgeously Edwardian, parking is free and the garden is absolutely stunning. I had (at my request) a single room, with ensuite, which ok, was small - however perfectly formed, very clean, comfortable and the shower was powerful.
Perhaps the choice of breakfast was limited, but all of the food was freshly cooked, and the room is a most sunning conservatory overlooking the garden.
The people with whom I came into contact was all delightful and couldn't have been more help.
The lack of evening meals was slightly frustrating, but the walk into Guildford took me 10 minutes, where the choice of restaurants was huge. It also meant that parking was not an issue, nor the concept of drink/driving.
I would be happy to stay here again, and wish them all well for the future.

“Superb Service, Great Hotel”

The Blanes Court is simply the best hotel I've ever stayed at for business travel. I have stayed there numerous times over the past couple of years and in a number of the rooms, which are all unique and part of the hotel's charm. They offer high speed wireless internet access from the bar or in the conservatory, and many of the rooms also have signal coverage. This is a huge benefit over the 56k dialup alternative typically offered at other hotels for a small fortune. The Blanes is a short walk from the High Street and a variety of restaurants which saves having to drive someplace for a meal. Breakfasts are excellent and include fresh free range eggs which are made to order when you arrive in the conservatory - not sitting on a hotplate. Above all, the family and staff that operate the hotel are superb, the service is excellent, and they will bend over backwards to make your stay a pleasure. Sasha, the resident Jack Russell Terrier, is equally pleasant although quite deaf given her advanced years.

“What a find..”

Blanes Court Hotel

21 Feb 2006
33/38 found this review helpful

I was most suprised to read the two reviews as this was far from my experience.I think he booked into another Hotel!! I booked a number of rooms for myself and family as we were attending a wedding in September. I found the staff delightful bending over backwards to help. Breakfast was superb, served in a large conservatory over looking the garden.Assorted cereals, fruit, yogurts, toast etc were available and then you could help yourself to a hot buffet breakfast, certainly not heated up.Free range eggs cooked to order,sausages,bacon, tomatos, baked beans,fried potatos and best of all fresh mushrooms!! none of that tinned stuff. Our rooms were spacious and very clean and I found the brochure very useful to send off to all my guests as the pictures were exactly like the building I stayed in. Keep up the good work !!!

“smoked salmon breakfast`s”

Blanes Court Hotel

5 Dec 2005
6/40 found this review helpful

this hotel offers a spacious and relaxing atmosphere, in fact it was so spacious i had to walk four yards down the corridor to find the toilet and shower which was shared with other occupants, beautiful surroundings were complimented by the television that was placed above the bed, which i was in fear of it falling off and hitting me, not that i could have avoided it in the compact room that was provided.
also known for their smoked salmon breakfast that failed to greet my residency, coupled with an over priced bar, and warm beer which got colder as i drank it, due to the lack of heat in this wonderfully converted house with a double garage "that must be the ensuite bit".
the bed looked like it had been made by a victorian esk ikea company "and it certainly felt like it",
the toilet and shower has the snug feel of an 18th centuary pantry that was supplied with a rather large full length mirror to watch myself discard excrement!,
lovely.
needless to say i shall not be using this humble hovel again.
and the breakfast i will never forget, cause i never got it.
