The Chatsworth Hotel

The Chatsworth Hotel

8/10 Good
"A Beautiful Hotel with Real Character โ€” Just a Few Details to Fix We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel, which has a charm all of its own โ€” not least the classic birdcage lift, a functioning showpiece that we never tired of seeing. Our room was pleasant and full of character, with lovely high ceilings, and the bathroom was truly spectacular โ€” both in size and in the quality of its amenities. Breakfast was enjoyable too, with a good variety and quality on offer. The real highlight for us, though, was the piano bar: we loved relaxing over pre-dinner drinks while listening to a talented singer and piano player. A wonderful way to start the evening. That said, there were a few areas that let the experience down. General upkeep in the bedrooms could be better โ€” our net curtain had a large tear, which we felt was unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. We also noticed a build-up of dust around the coffee area, and housekeeping in general would benefit from closer attention to detail. The good news is that these issues should be easy to address. Overall, with the upkeep and housekeeping improved as a priority โ€” and a few extra touches such as an in-room mini fridge and safe โ€” this hotel would be truly fabulous. We'd happily return."
