Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic experience at Redlands Hotel, where the staff really went above and beyond to make our family gathering a success. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, making our stay very pleasant. However, the dining service could use some improvements, especially during breakfast times when there was a long wait to place orders. Overall, it's a great place to stay with excellent amenities and friendly staff.
I had a pleasant stay at Redlands, enjoying its classic style and old-world charm. While my dining experience had a hiccup with the overcooked mushrooms, the overall atmosphere and helpful staff made up for it. My room was clean and comfortable, contributing to a great value for money. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family!
The hotel features a stunning old building with beautiful gardens, creating a lovely ambiance. My room was spacious and comfortable, although the wi-fi signal was frustratingly poor. The staff was generally friendly, but I faced issues during breakfast on one of my mornings. Overall, it has charm and comfort but could improve in connectivity and service consistency.
My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although I experienced an initial hiccup with the check-in process. The dining options, while available, seemed a bit pricey for what was offered, prompting me to eat out instead. The staff was attentive and helpful once settled in, making me feel welcomed. I would choose to stay here again for a convenient and enjoyable experience.
I had an excellent stay at this hotel, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and caring environment. The food was freshly prepared and very tasty, which made my time there even more enjoyable. While I felt completely safe and cared for, there was some noise from the kitchen, which can be distracting. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely return.
