Faded Grandeur

So disappointed with standards at Compleat Angler - admittedly 20 years since having stayed but Hotel is tired, room 11 deluxe had large cobwebs above bed and in corners of room. Bathroom equally tired - bath specifically horrid with either rust or dirt showing in the grid of safety grip section, TV was ancient and channels limited We ventured into bar - but didn’t stay - dark and again tired Outside the building definitely needs painting Positively- the bedding was clean and bed comfortable - view nice over Thames to Church

Leisurely charm of a bygone era

There is a relaxed, Edwardian feel to this riverside retreat. Don't expect the reception to be staffed when you check in. Hunt a little for staff amidst the wood panelling, and you will find tranquil repose.

Enjoyable

Nice room looking over the water. Bit dusty, but comfortable. Service was very slow but the food was a good quality and very expensive. Why do they need to charge extra for tomatoes at breakfast? Bit cheapskate if you ask me, especially when a breakfast is £26 in the first place. Very enjoyable evening however.

Our experience of the staff was inconsistent, check-in was fairly lack lustre and no explanation of facilities, dining options or card service was given. Couldn't find bar staff. However the concierge was really helpful. Communal rooms were lovely but the bedrooms were old and tired. ( We had to switch rooms) Even in the upgraded room the shower was broken, TV old and kept switching off, chipped paintwork and a hole in the back of the bathroom door. disappointing for a 4 star. Location is excellent, but they don't have to work on that!

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.
