Gainsborough Vacation Rentals

"The property is in need of a refurb as it is looking tired in places. Staff were helpful and polite. Outside seating was insuficient on this sunny weekend. Cooked breakfast was good but the continental (cheese & ham etc) was woefully poor. In the light of recent events the security was bad, entry to the rooms via lift and stairs was not controlled in any way so anyone could walk in off the street and have access. Location, location, location is the big plus for this hotel all in all a very enjoyable stay."

"Affordable and quiet"

"Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had everything we needed - we asked for more green tea at reception which was supplied immediately. Parking - we were very pleased we arrived early on the day (around 10 am) and were able to leave the car in the car park then even though we obviously couldn’t check in. Spaces were at a premium and as we had functions to attend all day that were walkable it was great to have the car secure and not have to worry about getting a space later on. Bed was comfortable but the aircon went off in the middle of the night which was a bit annoying as we got very hot. Breakfast was in a nice airy room with a view of the waterfront. Lots of choice - cooked, pastries, toast, cereal, fruit. Cooked items were not quite as hot as I’d like but cappuccino from coffee machine was delicious. Pleasant staff - shout out for the young lady who had recently broken her jaw - very sweet and friendly. All in all, impressed with hotel and would definitely look to stay with Doubletree Hilton on future travels."

"On entry of the Hex Hotel the car park is a short distance from the hotel entrance, there is no drop off point immediately outside the reception area, eg - if it was raining your items would be quite if not not entirely soaked. My advice is to park up first, sign in at the Hotel Reception and then collect a porters trolley for your luggage from the reception area. However if you are able to carry all your items in one go then great. Staff are friendly, polite and inform you are all the important notices to make your stay pleasing. Our room was a double, parkside, which was so nice to wake upto, it was clean, had all the ammenties required for your stay and I am very particular. However, if you are used to soft towels, please bring your own, these are very rough, in our eyesand the shower is fantastic. On our last night we had an issue with the safe, the number did not work, it continually kept asking for an ecode, at this point we contacted reception and someone came immediately to sort this out. They elementated all possiblities and unfortunately was not able to resolve this, due to be a fault on the safe, so there was 2 options - 1. remain in the room, as we were checking out the following morning, or 2. relocate to another room, but it was nice that the option was available and very apologetic. Excellent stay and would highly recommend."

"Good value, nice food and ev chargers. Still looks like a gulag from the outside. Really needs some cosmetic work"

"Very noisy...people Drunk...doors slamming"

"ok"

"This hotel never disappoints From easy check in (with helpful and friendly staff on hand) to excellent rooms all clean and spotlessly tidy, breakfast is amazing, with plenty of tasty choices and hot food all cooked well."

"Upon arrival I was shown to room stinking of sewage- Then moved to another ok room. Took a 5m shower and found the floor flooded all the way to carpet. Used all towels to stem the flow and was then upgraded to a goods room with a not so good view. More modern.”, less stinky, no drain issues. Enjoyed it- went to extend my stay 1 night and was told price was 175pounds? I paid 96$ for previous night thru Expedia Had to book a room 20m away, hire a car, and that was not good hospitality. They were kind, but maybe treated furry friends better than those with 2 legs and $/lbs!"
