Lovely hotel but didn’t meet high expectations
Publicado el 19 ene. 2024 en Hotels
We arrived early for check in, our room was not available but the staff were friendly and we had a relaxing drink in the lounge before heading out to check in on our return. Our queen room was decorated beautifully, though the bathroom felt cramped. The shower was frustrating as it’s above the bath and not high enough- I had to duck to get fully under. The bed was adequate but not comfortable, too many people may have sat on the side which meant the mattress felt sloped towards the edge when you lay on it. Unfortunately, our nights sleep was compromised as the rooms heating system was faulty, the room was set at 20C but got hotter and hotter, waking us up in sweats in the middle of the night. Not what you expect in January. When I reported this to reception they didn’t appear to care, I’d already paid upfront and was checking out that day. The hotels location is fantastic for Knightsbridge, just far enough back off the main road to lose the traffic noise. Loads to see and do within easy walking distance. Maybe we were unlucky with our room, though for the amount paid we were left feeling disappointed.

Dear Alexander,First and foremost, may I take the opportunity to thank you for taking the time to give us such much appreciated and valuable feedback following your recent stay with us here at The Egerton House Hotel. I am pleased to hear that you encountered a warm and friendly welcome upon your early arrival to the hotel and that even though your room was not ready, our drawing room and bar area offered a comfortable and relaxing retreat whilst enjoying a drink. However, I am disappointed to hear that even though you found your appointed room to be beautifully decorated, you found the bathroom too small and the shower frustrating and too low. More importantly, I am genuinely sorry to hear that you experienced a uncomfortable and disrupted sleep due to the fluctuating room temperature and the issue you had with your mattress, which is truly regretful to say the least. In addition, I am also sorry if you perceived the initial response to your complaint as non-urgent and complacent which characteristically is not a response I would expect of any of my dedicated team who always pride themselves in going the extra mile to ensure the comfort and well-being of all of our guests. Overall, it pains me that you left the hotel on your departure date disappointed and perhaps felt that you have not received value for the money you have paid. Keeping all of the above issues in mind, I therefore kindly invite you to get in touch with me directly at the hotel if you wish to discuss your guest experience in more detail. We all do hope and trust that we will have another opportunity to welcome you to The Egerton to amend the wrongs you have experienced on this visit and to give us another chance to show you the best of Egerton House Hotel hospitality.Once again, please accept our sincerest gratitude for sharing your experience in such detail in your review of our townhouse hotel and I wish you a most pleasant and peaceful remainder of your weekend.Kindest regardsMichelle DevlinGeneral Manager
