A treasure of a hotel

We love The Dukes! Cozy, charming and always a great experience. The Great British Restaurant is delicious and beautiful. And The Dukes Bar is a treasure (hotel guests can reserve a spot at the bar!).

Charming and historic

Charming older historic hotel. Excellent staff and lovely bar and breakfast. The concierge services are top notch. The hotel is showing some age since my stay 5 years ago and the elevators can be difficult. But I understand it will be undergoing renovation soon. All things considered it’s a terrific place with great staff. I’m glad I made it back a second time.

We will NEVER return!

Trading on its dated history! Checked in on Sunday and told the renowned bar was closed but open the following night. We asked if it was ok to visit then and left it with her for around 8pm. The lady at reception took a "preauthorization payment" of several hundred pounds which was actually not held as normal but taken from my account immediately. I questioned this and was told it would be credited back if nothing ordered in the bar or restaurant. Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, went to the bar on Monday for the bar manger to demand a reservation number, that the woman who checked us in should have arranged! We left without trying the alleged original martini and was made to feel second class citizens in this 4 hundred + night hotel! Very disappointed in the way the bar manager handled the situation, which actually marred the break for our 35th wedding anniversary. We didn't eat in the hotel as we had already made plans weeks in advance. We checked out and after 14 DAYS I had to chase the hotel up for the refund back to my card. If I hadn't of chased the refund it wouldn't have happened! We will not be back!

Couple Christmas vacation

The hotel was excellent, the staff was its biggest asset. The breakfast was good, although it didn't include an omelette or anything like that, and if you wanted it, it was an extra charge. Two things bothered me, the first and main one is that in the hotel lobby (which is small) there is an entrance to the bar and every day dozens of people line up every afternoon and evening to get in. It's a very unpleasant feeling when you enter the hotel and have to ask people in the lobby to move in order to get into the room. The second thing is that the window in the room faces the air conditioners, so we couldn't even open it to ventilate without the terrible noise of the engines.
