George Hotel, Amesbury

3.1 / 5 Marcin [Dartford, GB] on 22/09/2009 (Young couple)

Nice, small hotel in nice small town.Everything was working in room, although nothing was in perfect condition.

Cleanliness is the main issue!!! Spider net on the window.Dust on the furniture.Some stains on the carpet.Reception staff was working behind the bar as well, so you will have to look for them.

Overall: We think that hotel is perfect for weekdays.On weekends, because it is on High Street (pubs nearby, including hotels' own), you will have a squad of drunk, noisy people right under your window.It is okay as a cheap accommodation, but will not book here again.  (108471731)

staff very helpfull and friendly

The inside decor looked a might dated and drab Very noisy disco/kareeoke the night I stayed,plus some very drunken lads in the bars and patio area when I arrived around 7.30pm

Overall: My stay at the hotel suited my purpose as it was a late booking near a bank-holiday w/end, but I would seriously think twice about booking here again,especially on a w/end  (108294777)

The building itself looks lovely from the outside.

We asked for a smokefree room. When we entered the room, the penetrant smell of smoke made us sick. The only clean aspect in the room was the bed linen. Sockets, doors, behind tv, behind dressing table and wardrobe; walls and ceilings; window panes, everything was very dusty and dirty. The bathroom was even worse. Zest and dirt; smelly; hair in bath and wash basin. Rooms were apparently recently refurbished. The new wallpaper was severely damaged, torn and loose on two walls. Breakfast was disappointing: no brown bread; no natural yoghurt, in fact: only 3 small pots of yoghurt, one of which had a hole in the lid. No honey. Coffee tasted horrible (dilluted with water?). Dinner was poor. We asked for a ceasar salad and got a couple of lettuce leaves, a piece of tomato and a slice of cucumber. The lamb roast was supposed to be hot, but when served, it was nearly cold. Three of us got our meal at the same time, while the fourth person got her meal when we had nearly finished. Digital tv didn't work.

Overall: Disappointing. Absolutely no value for money. We chose this hotel because we liked the picture and description on the internet. We have stayed in a great many hotels all over the UK and we found this one most disappointing.  (107898972)

The Family room was well kept, clean and spacious. The bathroom was also very large with adequate lighting and a full length mirror. The check in person (when found), was understanding to my family's needs and offered us a larger room if required. Plenty of parking space to be found round the back.

There was no-one around to check us in when we arrived and a staff member from the bar had to be called to find someone to help. We were kept awake almost all night by drunken revellers attending a 21st birthday party being held in the room directly below the family room! Bottles smashing, kicking off, screaming, shouting, swearing and violent behaviour was not dealt with by staff and no police were called. This carried on till the early hours. When waiting in the restuarant for dinner no service came and we left after 15 minutes although staff had seen to one other table where guests were waiting.

Overall: It was good for a night - but after being placed directly over a party hall and having to put up with that noise all night and the lack of service it wasn't worth the £92 paid. We didn't stay for breakfast (though we could have), as the kitchen staff had ignored us when we sat at our table for a dinner the evening before and when you've got hungry children you can't have that. If I 'had' to stay there again I would check first if there were any parties planned and either 'not book' or change rooms over. Can't believe they would place a family room above the party room.  (108314284)
