The Holt Hotel

Food, room and location

Nothing

Good location as we participating in the Blenheim triathlon.

Noisy, there was an event going on in the banqueting room until midnight. We were given a room above so we were disturbed by banging music and shouting outside the room. The team also emptied glass recycling after midnight which was also added to disturbing us. As it was the weekend breakfast was from 7.30am which too late for us and many of the other guests as we needed to get to Blenheim. When I asked whether because the event, could it be available I was told, it was the weekend and they would sticking to the schedule. Also the hand soap container was completely empty in our bathroom and when we asked for an extra duvet because due to system mix up, our sons had to sleep in a double bed instead the twin I had booked, there was one available. So disappointed as we have stayed here twice before and never had any issues, this time it was dreadful.

Delighted with the hotel where we stayed for one night to attend a wedding. All the staff were attentive, friendly and efficient, and we had a lovely large bedroom with a comfortable bed and a nice en-suite bathroom. The buffet style breakfast was good, the only small criticism being that tinned fruit, rather than fresh fruit, was provided. Altogether, very good value for the price.

Overall a great stay! Highlights: The family room was very spacious, modern, with high quality features. The beds were comfy. Tea/coffee provisions were good although we didn’t have time to utilise. Breakfast provided a good selection and the cooked breakfast was a great quality and very tasty. Staff were also friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Lowlights: check in was a little disappointing as we were allocated the wrong room initially so there was some back and forth late in the evening when we arrived, which with a small person in the party was inconvenient, The room was quite warm (with the recent heat waves) and we weren’t told there was a fan in the cupboard so did not put this to use. With the windows open our particular room was quite noisy with sprinklers in the early hours, then birds and traffic. Our room was to the front of the hotel so I imagine not all rooms would be quite as impacted by the road noise. Finally the rain shower head didn’t work but the attachment was fine with good pressure.

Sam the bartender was very personable and helpful. He also made good drinks.
