The staff in Bar 1215 and at breakfast were very helpful, warm, and welcoming, which we really appreciated and was a definite highlight of our stay.
However, unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing, especially given that we were celebrating our honeymoon. At check-in, there was no acknowledgement or greeting regarding this special occasion, despite it being clearly noted on our booking and communicated a month in advance. This felt quite disheartening.
When we arrived at our room, it was noticeably dusty and felt as though no extra care or attention had gone into preparing it. While we did appreciate the small cake and petals, for a five-star hotel we expected more — even something simple like a bottle of sparkling wine would have made the experience feel more special.
Our use of the spa was also a letdown. The jacuzzi was not working, which was very disappointing. The spa had run out of robes, so we had to bring our own from the room. The coffee machine in the relaxation area was not working properly, and the indoor pool was cold. Altogether, these issues did not live up to the Fairmont name or its five-star status.
Overall, the stay was a letdown. We chose this hotel for a very special occasion and, having paid over £450, we left feeling disappointed and quite heartbroken by the experience.
