Lysses House Hotel

Good

Lovely hotel

Liked: Everything! Very comfortable bed; lovely garden and terrace to while away a very hot afternoon; excellent breakfast; good dinner in the restaurant or a nice range of bar meals if you're not so hungry. An efficient fan was provided in the bedroom which, along with wide-opening windows, made the very hot nights bearable. The staff were efficient and friendly, making us feel like truly welcome guests.
Disliked: A tiny niggle, not really a dislike but I wish some instruction had been provided as to how to operate the dual-headed shower. In three days, I never managed to escape without an unexpected gowt of water from the ceiling giving me an unplanned hairwash!

Perfect for a one nighter,...

Liked: Good selection of cereals, juices and cooked breakfast, great central location and the outside terrace and garden are delightful. Staff generally great and very friendly (although morning waiter could've been a little more proactive ie no fried bread arrived with the full English and he needed prompting to get it delivered separately).
Disliked: The hotel really needs updating and a complete redesign. The bedroom furniture was more 90s office style and the bathrooms quite old ie lino needs replacing and the wall mounted snake/ pipe hairdryer could be a museum piece!

Superb

Ideal for what we wanted.

Liked: Breakfast was very good, our room on the ground floor was good with a king size bed as requested. No noise. The garden was lovely to sit out in. All the staff were very welcoming.

Great reception staff, a very...

Liked: It’s location, & the friendly reception staff & in general the cooked breakfasts where of a very good standard. Further, the bathroom towels were of a high standard.
Disliked: The upkeep & the general maintenance was of a very low standard the outlook from the bedroom window was horrible looking onto lower roofs, there was a noisy a/c unit outside the window but the room only had a very low powered domestic fan.The room decor was grubby around the skirting boards. There was unsightly staining on the ceiling tiles. I would have thought at around £360 for three nights you may have been able to put more than one packet of biscuits in the tea tray.We had reserved dinner at the restaurant for the Tuesday evening but the young male breakfast server was a little brusk it kind off put us of having dinner in the restaurant that evening, therefore we cancelled. In general, for your hotel to compete with the likes of competitors like Voco, you need a complete overhaul and update.
