Disappointing that out of the 8 rooms booked, 2 were clearly for disabled people. We also were refused a drink from the Bar at 11.00 p.m as it was shutting.

VICTORIA

Disliked: Staff & service
Hotel looked tired and in need of a renovation. Room had no heating/cooling options other than a portable oil fired radiator. Room was on second floor at front of hotel and noisy. Sainsbury's Local supermarket was opposite the hotel and deliveries on both nights began at 3.30am which resulted in little sleep. Not the romantic weekend away that we were hoping for. Spoke to manager in the morning whose response was 'the hotel is on a town and they can't control nise'. Not impressed. Has put me off visiting another Malmaison,
