Hotel terbaik di Montgomery

The Dragon is situated in a delightful town which is worth a visit for itself. Now, the hotel: rooms are difficult to access as all are up steep stairs and there are no lifts as the building cannot (?) accommodate them. This is a nightmare for all but the fittest, particularly when you are also toting luggage. There are no ground floor rooms so the hotel is entirely unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues - anyone with even mild walking difficulties would have a problem. My room- a double - had a high unreachable window (used a coat hanger to open it!) and the furniture was ill-assorted and mis-matched. There was some old ‘brown’ furniture, scuffed and stained, no wardrobe just an odd hall-stand affair with a few wooden hangers but no skirt/trouser hangers. All very odd and not nice. The room was clean but drab . The bathroom looked like it had been refurbished nicely. Hah, despite appearances, the shower experience was dismal as the water pressure is woeful. Apparently the hotel literature mentions this as if to excuse it! This is the C21st guys- there are remedies! The toiletries provided are a dual purpose shampoo/body wash (not acceptable for women) and conditioner in the shower and liquid hand soap at the basin. All good quality and smell delicious - but don’t make up for the other shortcomings. And no shower cap despite being shower-only, and no body lotion. The evening food offering has been streamlined (dumbed down I’d say) since my last visit to easy, predictable choices whereas there was a much more imaginative menu previously- disappointing - and I wouldn’t want to be staying more than one night as I’d be pushed for choice. Breakfast choice was very good however and service throughout by the young staff was excellent. The hotel has changed hands and prices hiked with no justification by way of improvements. The pool has been closed, despite the fact there’s still a photo of it on the website and its billing on the hotel’s external sign. There are lots of hotels in old and historic buildings that have modern amenities - the Dragon needs to drag itself into the C21st!

Our stay was ok though the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the Housekeeping needs to learn how to remove some vey large cobwebs and the young management team need to learn that when they are leaving the property which has no staff on the premises overnight, there laughing, Joking, and loud conversation including telephone calls can be heard in the sheep room & disturbed myself and my wife on both nights we stayed when they left around midnight, they also seem to have to slam the door behind them. Do not stay on Wednesday night as the Bin men arrive at 4.30am on Thursday morning to Empty there bins and bottle bins so obviously very noisy and definitely wakes you up. Breakfast though is excellent

We needed an overnight stay to break up a long journey. This hotel was in the right place and the price was reasonable for bed and breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean and had nice facilities. Breakfast was pleasant, not the best we have had but certainly acceptable. Just be aware that some of the rooms, and ours was one, that has traffic noise that was less from about 11pm but started again at 0500. So it’s worth asking for a quit room if one is available. Parking was easy to enter and exit and it’s nice and safe, but be aware that the spaces are quite cramped if you are lucky enough to own a larger car it might need some careful parking.
