Tired hotel
Service poor, no answer from room service or reception.
Bathroom very basic and tired.
Concierge guy was excellent though.
Clearly Macdonald not investing in what was once a lovely hotel

Comfortable in a great location
I've stayed here twice now and while it's old school decor isn't really to my taste, and it could do with a refresh, it's actually a really nice hotel that is comfortable. The location is also fantastic. You're unlikely to get many better settings for either you evening drink/meal or breakfast. Breakfast is also really good for a smallish hotel.

Underwhelming
Location was good, everything else was average at best and below-par in terms of cleanliness. Hotel is tired and dated and being asked to pay extra at breakfast if you want something different like avocado, eggs benedict or even a different coffee is just strange. Drinks are very expensive as well - £16 for a glass of wine with a 12.5% service charge on top is excessive.

Nice hotel in lovely location on the river which is why it is quite expensive with free car parking. The hotel is cashless but the WiFi is not good enough to cope with credit card transactions at times. We attempted to pay for drinks in the bar, three times before it finally worked causing customer frustration and queues at the bar. We didn’t have a evening meal in the hotel as we went to a local Vietnamese restaurant and had a lovely meal, plenty of choice of different cuisines in Marlow. Breakfast in hotel plenty choice but sausages and black pudding (soggy mess) could have been cooked a bit more.
overall a nice stay and we would stay again in the future.

Wedding guest stay.
Very welcoming. Stayed for a family wedding. Lovely room, overlooked car park. Good size balcony. Very clean. Room comfortable but too warm.
Very attentive staff.
Fantastic location, short walk into town. Lovely riverside location.
Large car park.
3-4 minutes walk across causeway to church for the wedding.
Lovely garden area with plenty of seating.
Only down side was price of drinks
If you want to get a taxi to windsor then advise Uber as half price compared to the one hotel booked us. Can get a train but its 2 changes so can take up to 2 hours.

Top class hotel, perfectly situated on the Thames
What a beautiful hotel, right on the river Thames. The staff are so kind and friendly, and really make you feel special.
The rooms are very nice with a very comfortable bed and fluffy dressing gowns and slippers.
Breakfast has a great selection for everyone. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the sausages were really tasty. All in all we would stay here again as a treat, and would highly recommend this hotel a must visit if you are looking for somewhere to stay.
