Macdonald Compleat Angler Hotel Marlow , Marlow (Buckinghamshire)

I stayed at the grand hotel for my partner's 40th birthday and found the location amazing, right on the river with easy access to Marlow and London. The room size was good, but the view of the car park was disappointing. The service was friendly and professional, though there were delays at times. The dining experience had some issues, but the dishes were delicious. Overall, a mix of great location and service with some room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms but comes at a higher price. The rooms, while reasonably clean and of a good size, show signs of wear and were left dusty after cleaning. However, the service is top-notch with cheerful, friendly, and professional staff. The location is amazing, right on the river edge and close to town. The dining experience provides a wide range of delicious options. The price may be a bit steep for what is offered, but the facilities are well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small and poorly soundproofed, had a classic English charm. The service, unfortunately, lacked warmth and customer focus, but it was efficient. The location offered beautiful views, but there were some issues like a strange smell in the room. The dining experience fell short of expectations for a hotel of this caliber.

The hotel offers a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the weir, but the rooms are quite small considering the cost and the bathrooms are a little dated. The service is exceptional, especially with outstanding concierge David, but it may not be worth the high price. The location is fantastic for enjoying afternoon tea by the river but could benefit from a modern update. The dining experience offers buffet-style options with a convenient location, yet on a Travelzoo voucher. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout aspects.
