4.7 / 5 4.7 / 5 Anonymous on 10/11/2009 (Solo leisure traveller)

very friendly helpful staff readily available to help. room more than adequate with generous supply of tea/coffee/cookies [nice touch]

room had sky light, ie no window and the sky light was positioned over a roof where the kitchen fans were placed so it was a noisy room until the kitchen activities stopped. also room was directly above the bar/dining room so also noisy until closing time. room 7 brochure had suggested all room were centered around a courtyard!!!!

Overall: good hotel, clean, friendly. would return.  (108441855)

3.9 / 5 3.9 / 5 D [cambridgeshire, GB] on 30/06/2009 (Mature couple)

food in dining room very poor and service poor. I did not eat my meal and the waiter did not ask me why until my husband had finshed eating.

Overall: Apart from dining room everything else more than satisfactory  (107801468)

4.7 / 5 4.7 / 5 Maximilian [Vienna, AT] on 16/06/2009 (Group of work colleagues)

Clean, technical equipment excellent, staff friendly and competent, restaurant excellent

One of the inner windows could not be locked, road in front of the hotel very busy (therefore, windows have to be shut during the night)

Overall: We were very satisfied  (107780578)

Double room that we had was very nice. The bedding very comfortable and all other requirements met.

The food in the restaurant and bar area was very disappointing considering the price of it! very poor quality and presentation! If staying again would consider eating somewhere else.

Overall: Hotel accommodation together with atmosphere to meet friends - good! Pity about the cuisine!  (107637933)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
