Service poor, no answer from room service or reception. Bathroom very basic and tired. Concierge guy was excellent though. Clearly Macdonald not investing in what was once a lovely hotel

Comfortable in a great location
I've stayed here twice now and while it's old school decor isn't really to my taste, and it could do with a refresh, it's actually a really nice hotel that is comfortable. The location is also fantastic. You're unlikely to get many better settings for either you evening drink/meal or breakfast. Breakfast is also really good for a smallish hotel.

The general facilities were cramped and gloomy, with the layout again cramped and complicated having grown like topsy with too many stairs. The situation was redeemed by room 91 which was clean, comfortable, airy and with an hypnotic view over the weir. The staffing at reception/ concierge was excellent and most helpful. The staff in the dining room (dinner) were pushy and more interested in being given favourable reviews than in giving a good service. We only dined once as a consequence. Sorry! Had the overall feeling of an airport hotel.

Underwhelming
Location was good, everything else was average at best and below-par in terms of cleanliness. Hotel is tired and dated and being asked to pay extra at breakfast if you want something different like avocado, eggs benedict or even a different coffee is just strange. Drinks are very expensive as well - £16 for a glass of wine with a 12.5% service charge on top is excessive.

Nice hotel in lovely location on the river which is why it is quite expensive with free car parking. The hotel is cashless but the WiFi is not good enough to cope with credit card transactions at times. We attempted to pay for drinks in the bar, three times before it finally worked causing customer frustration and queues at the bar. We didn’t have a evening meal in the hotel as we went to a local Vietnamese restaurant and had a lovely meal, plenty of choice of different cuisines in Marlow. Breakfast in hotel plenty choice but sausages and black pudding (soggy mess) could have been cooked a bit more. overall a nice stay and we would stay again in the future.
