Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa

Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"The hotel staff at the reception were very helpful and so welcoming. However there was one member of staff in the laundry room who came across like she couldn’t be bothered helping when I asked her for a clean towel for the swimming pool area because the one she pointed me towards smelt really damp so I wanted a clean one and she just ignored me so I helped myself. The hotel- the cleanliness was not great. The room was quite outdated and the bed sheets had this damp smell. My daughters had a foldable bed and their mattress sunk in when they slept on it so they could literally feel the bed rail underneath but because we were just there for one night and it was late we didn’t complain. Breakfast was good it was a buffet style and had a good variety. Overall, we had a nice stay for the night as we used the swimming pool too. However, I wouldn’t return due to the lack of hygiene/cleanliness. The damp smelling sheets and towels really put me off 😑"

"Lovely and clean, we had the snug double and it was adequate, yes small but had all we needed, for a room you won’t be spending a lot of time in, breakfast was good, pastries not so good, but plenty of other food to choose from, so not a problem, private off road parking was a bonus"
