This was a lovely hotel and rooms were nice. Unfortunately we were on dinner bed and breakfast and although meal was lovely service was awful. It took over 2 hours to get dinner and it was not overly busy. We’re told they were short staffed but still not acceptable. Breakfast was pretty poor with no one informing us that there was an option of fried or poached eggs so therefor the only choice was runny scrambled eggs. Asked 3 times for toast and was told each time it would be 2 or 3 minutes after 20 minutes wait at 3rd time of asking decided not to bother. This was a shame really and spoilt our stay.

hotel decor was lovely and staff helpful. Bedroom was very small with no space to put clothes or suitcases. Restaurant food was poor.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was my 60th and we had 5 rooms on a DBB deal . The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was just great the breakfast was cooked there and then not buffet which we all liked. We will definitely be back.

A fabulous stay at Colessio. Check in was smooth and our room was large and well appointed. The bar area was comfortable and prices not bad. The grill was a lovely setting ad the food excellent though I would have liked a greater choice of main meals. Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent ( we had the full breakfast). The staff were helpful and friendly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Hotel room facilities, bar and restaurant areas were all lovely, however bar prices were a bit expensive. Our problems started when we arrived for dinner booked for 7. 30pm and the staff asked us if we could wait till 8.15pm for dinner as they were extremely busy serving a 21st birthday party in the function hall. This was fine by us but it would have been good to have been offered bread to keep us going. At 8.20 we asked for menus and food was eventually served at 9.35pm. Unfortunately 2 of 4 dinners were cold and had to be returned. The waiting staff were lovely and apologetic, however it was clear that the kitchen could not cope with servicing both the function and restaurant. I was also very disappointed in my steak, it was tough and dried out, despite having meant to be cooked in a state off the art Josper grill. I had read on trip advisor that other customers had experienced very slow service, therefore it is clear that this happened before and management have not invested in the correct staffing levels. It is apparent that most if not all off the above problems could have been solved by having more staff on duty. Other diners were experiencing the same slow service and were complaining to waiting staff, however we felt the waiting staff were doing the best under a difficult situation and that senior management should have been present to sort this out.

Hotel’s very impressive from the outside and reception area very welcoming. Room was large but could have done with a fresh coat of paint as it was pretty tired but the view was lovely. Really big bathroom and good shower. Dinner was included and although the service was good it took ages to arrive and starters were staggered. I had finished mine before the final one appeared. I believe that only two chefs in the kitchen was the issue. When we went for breakfast the next morning were told to expect a twenty minute delay in it arriving as chef was new. Breakfast itself was tasty. When paying the bill I mentioned the few issues I’d had and whilst I appreciate the gesture of taking money off, I would suggest that you get them to check what’s been charged to your room as there were drinks and a meal on my bill that were not mine. Just as a side not, I would suggest that when taking a child with you the local hotel charge is made clearer when booking. I had a £25 charge to pay which I wasn’t expecting although it was lower down in the email confirmation I received. I would recommend that this would be clearer when booking if it was next to the total charged I.e. £99 & child price. Overall, I had a nice night and would probably go back just seemed a bit faulty tower.

Our stay at the Colessio started off well, check in was quick we booked dinner for 7.30pm and headed to our room, the room was fine no outlook but clean, dinner was lovely and the waiters were excellent always asking if everything was ok. That was the good now for the bad. When we went down for breakfast at 9.30am we stood and waited 10 minutes on the waitress even acknowledging we were there before telling us to take a seat in the bar until she got a table ready, another 5 minute wait before we were seated!! We were asked if we wanted tea or coffee which never arrived (had to ask twice before we got it!!) no glasses for the orange juice no milk for the cereal not sure what else would have been on the table as the plates were empty and never replenished!! Tea eventually came had to ask for teaspoons!, had to ask for toast as noticed other people had some but we never got offered, then had to ask fo side plates and butter because you guessed it none!!! Come on Hotel Colessio get your act together!!

1st day of my stay could not have been better, everything from reception to finding our room was perfect. we came down for evening meal and the service was exemplary. the meal was one of the best that I have ever eaten. the beds, bedding bath and shower were all faultless, when we asked for another towel they were there within minutes delivering it to our door. the only small fault that I could pick out was the service in the restaurant for breakfast in the morning. you are told that service can be slow toward the end of the serving time, so we went for an early breakfast to avoid this. we had to find a table for ourselves as there was no one about, when we were seated we waited for a good ten minutes to be asked for our order, (no recommendations, just what would you like) we had to ask for bowls for cereal, we had to find where the juices were for ourselves. we waited half an hour after ordering for our food to arrive. when it came it was faultless. for the forty five to fifty minutes we were in the room no table was cleared our own cereal bowls had to be put onto the window sill to make room for our breakfast plates. the breakfast staff badly need training and guidance from their managers

My friend and I were looking to chill for the weekend and this hotel allows you to do just that. Just a little comment that perhaps a small coffee table so you don't have to use window sills for cups. Staff were very hard working and professional and although there were two weddings on we were served efficiently. Dinner was very tasty and well presented. ?

The hotel is lovely looking inside and out, and the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and attentive. We stayed on a DBB basis and had dinner from the steak menu which was lovely. Service in the restaurant was quick and the staff were very helpful, the menu is a little expensive but in line with the prices of other hotels we’ve stayed in. Breakfast was enjoyable and there was plenty of choice with hot and cold buffet style. Our room was small but well equipped and the bathroom with walk in shower was spotless. Our only complaint was that the bed wasn’t very comfortable but that could be up to personal choice as we found the mattress too firm. Overall it was an enjoyable stay in a brilliant location

Hotel was being renovated, however claiming this is 5 star is an exaggeration. Restaurant is overpriced with poor food quality - fillet steak was as tough as a rump! Rooms in poor condition with out of date TVs and no fridges. General atmosphere in bar area can only be described as a funeral. Parking is challenging but we did find a space on arrival, difficult getting out as a hotel staff member parked their car in an undesignated space. Poor beer choices given the craft beer boom of late. Positives - great location, very helpful and friendly staff, good tail selection at good prices, and made professionally.

Fabulous hotel, really modern and modern rooms. We booked normal club room but I think we were upgraded to a suite as the room was huge. We were on dbb. I don’t think I’d pay the restaurant prices otherwise. Wasn’t too keen on steak I had. Breakfast was lovely and lots of smiley/friendly staff. Will deffo be back. Also very close to places, Wetherspoons about 150yrds away

Very nice hotel. A wee bit tlc needed in some areas. Seats within restaurant a bit tired looking and dirty walls withing public toilet near the bar (A good lick of paint would sort it out) We stayed in room 109... Compact room but very well kitted out including nice thick bathrobes. Only negative was 1 window has no curtains but had a wooden blind up which let In a lot of light (looked out onto a well light area) Staff throughout the hotel all very friendly and polite. Steak dinner was very nice. Breakfast was good.

Excellent accommodation, staff well presented and trained in customer service. Meal was of high standard. The only downside was parking, though eventually resolved with assistance of the Front Desk Staff.
