Top Alton Water Hotel Reviews

Muthu Belstead Brook Hotel

8/10 Good

"From the moment the entrance doors open into the very lavish & large lobby area , you know that this is not a usual run of the mill hotel . There is a labyrinth of rooms & corridors , each with an array of unique furniture , artifacts or , original structural features . The bedroom was comfy & quiet , evening meal was good , with a portions that actually fill you up after a days work . Breakfast although slightly more expensive than what I would have expected , which also meant it exceeded my authorised business allowance , was cooked well & with a good choice . However , it is many years since it had a major refit & it will probably soon be due for another one in certain places . I also noted to the nice & pleasant reception girl upon leaving , that their bedroom service staff need to pay a little more attention to detail , to which she said that she would bring to their attention that day . Overall a good stay & when working in the area again , I'll stay there once more ."
