A very special hotel (location, interiors, history) - but not enough staff to match the quality of it all. Late-September falls between end of summer and before they switch the heating on - so coldish room, and aircon didn't help and couldn't be switched off, and they forget to suggest we use the heater tucked inside the wardrobe. But would absolutely visit again!

Hotel is fine, but not worth the money. asked to check in a bit early and they charged an extra £60 to do that. I’ve 65 nights in hotels this year and never been charged for that. Coffee machine in room wasn’t working and asked for replacement 3 times and never got one. Breakfast staff were very friendly and service was good. Overall hotel is “ok” which is a shame because the location is absolutely stunning.

This is our fourth time staying at this hotel and it is always a wonderful experience. Though the hotel room this past visit was not as large as our previous rooms, it offered views of the Thames River, which is lovely. The only reason I gave only 4 stars this time around, was that our bathroom was small and didnt look clean, in need of updating. But we have not experienced this in the past, so hopefully we will upgrade our room on our next stay

I've enjoyed the Compleat Angler for many years way back into the 90s, however recently, I suppose like most things, disappointment sets in. My one night recently with an old school friend exposed how things have changed: families allowing their young children to ride light-up scooters on the marble floors of the lobby, next to the bar area just ruined what this hotel used to represent: old British class on the river, sophisticated elegance, sorry probably won't be back.
