Sandford-on-Thames Vacations from $886

The room clean and and the pub downstairs is really nice, especially food. It would be good though if they could serve breakfast in the pub but it doesn’t open early enough. It’s a nice area although a little rough around the edges.

Staff were great , rooms small and tight , food very good

This is a lovely location and the deluxe studio was very spacious and nicely appointed. I had to change my travel plans suddenly due to a family bereavement and the receptionist at Queens Gate Court was extremely sympathetic and supportive during this difficult time.

Beautifully designed room by David Chipperfield Architects-the reason I booked my stay here! The property is historic and well maintained. No matter how wonder the facilities are though, the staff makes or breaks a stay. In this case, the staff made an incredible building even more so with excellent service from the doorman to the front desk staff to the cleaning staff and spa staff. They all took it upon themselves to make sure I was being taken care of during my stay. I am looking forward to a return visit soon!

Okay stay... We chose to stay here due to the opening offer discount, which we were happy with the hotel for what we paid, but would have been disappointed if we had paid more! One issue was the room bed size - we paid more for a king size bed, however, according to their very own receptionist, on the hotels booking system there is no differentiation between a double and a king. Therefore, they charge you more for a king when there's no difference to a double. The bed was 2 single divans pushed together (with one mattress though), so is a king size... So, just book the double to get a king size bed! The receptionist was very rude when we asked to check the room and spoke to myself and my partner in an aggravated manner. Had I been a lone female, I would have felt uncomfortable. Not professional for what is meant to be a 4-star hotel. We were also given a connecting room without being asked if we were okay with that - which we weren't really, it is London! In the rooms, none of the bathroom sinks have a plughole. Therefore, you cannot fill up a sink to wash your face/have a shave. This is likely because they have installed sinks with no overflow hole, therefore you could flood the room if you left the tap on. Our sink also had no hot water. When we reported it at the end of our stay (as we just put up with it), there was no apology. The room was very clean and the location is really nice for a change in London.
