This is a bit of a mixed review. We stayed for two nights at Harington’s Hotel, and I can’t fault the location — it’s very central yet not noisy.
On arrival, however, we were greeted by quite a strong smell of sprouts. Check-in itself was fine, but on seeing the room I was disappointed. The hotel looks significantly better in the photos. We were staying in the most expensive room, yet there was wallpaper peeling off, noticeable water damage to the bathroom door, and the interiors felt quite uninspiring.
I went back to reception to explain my disappointment with both the smell and the room. The receptionist offered an alternative room, but this would have been a downgrade. He also offered to go out and buy room freshener to mask the smell. I decided to stay put, but it did leave me feeling disappointed.
The following morning, while showering, I repositioned the shower head and the entire fitting came away from the wall and fell onto me. It appeared to be missing screws, although I was able to push it back into place. When I reported this to reception, they apologised and offered a complimentary drink. I explained that I didn’t particularly want to stay in for a drink and felt this wasn’t really proportionate to the issues experienced.
On a positive note, the breakfast was nice, and the lady I spoke to on the phone when making the booking was very friendly.
