My stay at the Bonnington Hotel was quite mixed. The staff was helpful and friendly, and my room was spacious and clean. However, the dining experience and some facilities, like the spa, left much to be desired. For the price I paid, I expected a more relaxing and enjoyable stay, but overall, it fell short of my expectations.

While the hotel was conveniently located near public transport, the surrounding area didn't feel attractive, especially for walking. it was more suited for those driving into the city.

The leisure facilities were decent, with a well-maintained pool. Yet, the ongoing renovations and maintenance issues, like power outages, were quite bothersome during my stay.

My stay at the Bonnington Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient and the rooms were clean, but I faced significant issues with the dining experience and some amenities. The staff were friendly, but the noise from other rooms and other minor inconveniences impacted my overall enjoyment.

The leisure facilities, like the pool and sauna, were well maintained and provided a nice touch to my experience. However, the lack of a nightcap option or stocked mini-bar was a letdown for late returns.

My stay at Bonnington Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable, especially for my preschooler. However, I faced a few inconveniences with inconsistent policies regarding towel replacements and breakfast arrangements. Overall, it's a decent option considering the value for the price paid. 🏨✨

I had a mixed experience at the Bonnington Hotel. On one hand, the food was delicious — especially in McGettigan's — and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, I faced several issues during my stay, including an uncomfortable bed and a shower that didn't function well. Overall, while there were some positives, the negatives significantly impacted my stay. 😕

Rooms
5.0
My room was clean but uncomfortable. I booked an 'upgrade', only to find it was two single beds pushed together, which felt quite hard. The bathroom had some maintenance issues, and the air conditioning didn't work, leaving the room uncomfortably warm. Overall, the room was dated and not up to a good standard.
Service
8.0
The staff were definitely the highlight of my stay. They were friendly and went out of their way to accommodate me when I raised my concerns. Their helpfulness was much appreciated.
Location
6.0
The hotel is located close to many dining and shopping venues, making it quite convenient. However, the surrounding area felt a bit uninviting, which dampened the experience.
Dining
5.0
Dining at McGettigan's was a delight — the food was plentiful and tasty. However, my husband's experience was disappointing when he found a bug in his burger at the Croft. While the staff handled it professionally, it definitely left a bad impression.
Facilities
6.0
The leisure facilities, especially the pool, were another positive aspect of my stay. However, I had to buy bathing caps to access the pool, which felt like an unnecessary added expense.
