alloggio in famiglia a Coulsdon

We had an issue on arrival with the loft. It working meaning a room wasn’t available for six hours. With a wheelchair customer this was difficult. I had to book my own alternative for the first night. Whilst I wasn’t pleased with initial customer service, that leading to considerable stress in relocating, I spoke with the general manager the day after who agreed that the hotels process to find alternatives for guests was inadequate and that by simply developing a process and empowering his staff to book alternatives at no extra cost would be investigated and implemented. Loft failures are rare but it was highlighted that staff in duty had no means to book such at present. He had agreed there will be a review and in the event of a repeat incident (and lift failures are rare) customers would not be simply left to to find a useable room themselves, but staff would be empowered to to this on their behalf. It’s always worth having discussions with establishments when things go wrong. Whilst I’m not out of pocket and refund for the unusable room was promptly given he agreed it should not be for guests to need to do this themselves. As for the remainder of my stay, things went well for the second and third nights. This is beautiful location and whilst the hotel isn’t the most modern and is not air conditioned there are some great Rooms. I raised in a previous review why it is that only filtered coffee in flasks in provided for with breakfast, they charge £3.25 for a latte form a machine which could just as easily be placed in the public area and operated as self service. The flask coffee is really not to my taste and doesn’t start the morning well. It also appeared to be a cause of conflict and or disappointment from customers to staff as well! I have NEVER stated in a hotel and been charged extra for machine made Coffee, and I’m sure your staff don’t really appreciate the level of surprise and indignation I witnessed on this and previous visits on being told it’s an extra and more than we customers do being charged.
