Reviews of Holiday Inn Garden Court Aylesbury, Aylesbury

Posted by Christopher (2009-08-14)

I have stayed in many hotels both here in the UK and abroad and have found the standard of the rooms far superior even at the lower end of the market, we did not make a fuss as we were attending a function nearby and were only staying overnight, luckily!

Our room seemed of poor quality, large stains covered most of the carpet. Both bulbs on the bed lamps were blown and the fridge was empty, my wife was particularary put off by the shower which was near impossible to get right without getting scolded!

This was our first time ever to England, and we used this hotel as basis to follow the trail of the midsummer murders, which was filmed in the Buckingham shire. For this reason the hotel was perfect.

Well located. The center of the town is near enough (15 min walk). Friendly and good service and fully equipped rooms. Space enough for (free) parking. Although not large the restaurant provides a good breakfast and a decent meal.

Noisy plumbing (hot water), but we did not really hear any noise from the other guests.

ditto

I have made a complaint- most importantly the standard of accommodation represented appalling value for money.

The hotel was exactly as we expected. The bed was comfortable and the room more than adequate for an overnight stay.

Breakfast was too late for us as we had to leave by 8.00.

The room provided a sleeping and washing facilities but wasn't really that pleasant to stay in and at a cost of

The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Wallpaper patched up, very forceful tap in sink so everytime it was used sent water shooting out the sink onto the bath room floor. Soap dispensers impossible to use. Formal garden outside the hotel (Hence the name) was a brown umkemp patch which was evidence of lack of care.

The staff were fine and where required very helpful. We found it a good base for exploring NT propereties in the area

Hotel clean, bed firm, well equiped facilities in the room or available in the corridor. bar area intimate - good for meeting other guests

Information given on homepage is misleading, we do not agree that the menu was a "selection of tempting dishes", but rather bland and of limited choice. Nor do we agree that the area within Drake's bar was in deed big enough for restaurant status. We also found the temperature of the shower difficult to get right without either having very hot or cold water to begin with (did confirm this with the staff).
