Negative Reviews
negative:
Hotel is clean but worn out.
With rooms and facilities that are well cleaned it is obvious the owners care about making sure people enjoy their stay. Still, several of the areas are in need of an overhaul, particularly the bathrooms, to shake off a worn out appearance.
negative:
A popular and crowded spot for events.
Thanks to its location and unique atmosphere, the Marwell Hotel is a popular spot for weddings and other get-togethers. During these events the accommodation can feel crowded, especially around the pool and restaurant areas, so travellers will want to try and book their stays to avoid any gatherings.
negative:
Keeping critters out can be a chore.
Many people book a room at this hotel because of the idyllic countryside and surrounding woodlands. While the scenery is provides a charming escape for city weary travellers, the downside is the numerous wildlife living in the area, and the fact that open windows and doors for ventilation can be seen as a welcome mat for a variety of creatures.
