Won't be visiting again

The bed was very comfortable

Despite the site and the printed menus stating that the restaurant is available on Sundays, it appears that is not the case. We would have stayed elsewhere had we known prior to paying for the stay

Will not be staying again.

The actual hotel was not a problem. Very clean and comfortable. However, the lack of communication between staff members and the availability of facilities really let this place down. When booking and having looked on the website, it states the restaurant/cocktail bar is open every day. This was not the case. It is in fact closed all day on Sunday, something that we were neglected to be informed of. This meant there was no chance of an evening meal at the hotel or a drink at the end of the evening. This would have been fine if the information online told us this prior to arrival. Upon asking on the Sunday about this the staff quite rudely informed us that it had been this way since January and that a private function was happening instead. Staff were awful about it all and honestly ruined the stay.However, all the menus in the bedroom stated food availabile on Sundays. Massive miscommunication with paying guests and in need of updating their advertising if that is the case.

Very disappointing, won’t be back

Location good, staff friendly and helpful. Asked for accessible room and was given one

The most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever tried to sleep on. Gave up partway through the night and tried to sleep on the sofa, that was also uncomfortable. Why was there a lock on the outside of the bathroom door? I was unable to access the breakfast buffet as there were steps to it. My husband had to tell me what was available and get it for me. Music too loud at breakfast. Sat at same table as night before and our crumbs were still there.

Spur of the moment trip

Room was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. The lift wasn't working, which we were informed about on booking so it wasn't a surprise, but I did appreciate the heads-up.

The corridors and hallways looked a little tired and in need of some attention.

We will never return to the Hilcrest hotel as very poor value for money.

Nothing

No shower pressure or cold water. Bed matress too soft causing back pain. Shower rooms not refurbished. Poor value fof money. We have been using the Hillcrest 2-4 times a year and thefe is always a drama with thus hotel. Last winter there was no heating from the radiators and our recent visit, the radiators were airlocked causing an inscescant noise in the early hours. We complainef and staff changed our room.

Interesting

The bar/restaurant looks good and the bar was well well stocked. The outside area was pleasant.

The car park looks awful when you arrive, very weedy and as a first impression for guests not a good impression. The plastic plants in the outside seating area are awful and need to go. Finally and the worst thing of all was the sleepless night on the second night with something wrong with the pipes, they made a racket all night and I didn’t sleep! Wasn’t just me, we had family staying in different rooms on the same floor and it kept them awake all night, really not good enough especially as no compensation was offered for this sleepless night. For our last night they did offer us an alternative room after we had complained that had been re-furbished and was a good quiet room.

Horrendous, will not be using Hillcrest Hotel again and would advise others to do the same.

Nothing

Hotel is run down and shabby and in need of severe renovations. Used for wedding and birthday parties and therefore constant noise into the small hours, therefore people hanging around entrance making it feel unwelcoming and unsafe. No complaints system in place and no manager on site when needed. No hot water during our stay and no response to my email from manager.
