Top 10 Newlands Corner Hotels

Located in the center of Guildford, it is good in all respects. Convenient transportation, convenient catering industry, 10 minutes walk to high street, shopping is very convenient.

We chose the Mandalay as it was very convenient. We booked in early and our luggage was taken to our room, which with hindsight we should have inspected When we returned that evening we were told the restaurant was shut. Not a big deal. However when we found our room I was appalled at the size and position. It was a dungeon (with no Aircon!). No window to open, no view at all, the bathroom was so small that the shower door wouldn't open fully, just one bedside table as the room was so small .All in all very disappointing. Our room has to have been the worst available room in the hotel in spite of our booking in advance and early arrival. On checkout the next morning I told reception that I was unhappy, he took notes, and promised that someone would contact me. 2 weeks later no one has! I emailed the hotel and their obtuse response has been most unhelpful For the price charged it's completely unacceptable

Good location, close to the train station, right in the business center #房清洁# #fully equipped# Disadvantages: too many room types, room differences are too big

Dinner for two was lovely, stayed overnight with dinner and brew included. Elisa who served was fantastic, made us feel very welcome and couldn’t have been more accommodating, the extra effort made the evening very enjoyable. If we are in the area again we will definitely come back.

The building is fantastic - Grade II* with the most fabulous ceilngs and a stair that quite takes the breath away, and, even in March, terraces outside that give more than a hint of the fabulous when all is in blossom. But my daughter and I went in search of a 'proper traditional' Easter Day lunch in a Grand Hotel, and in that we were not disappointed. Barnett is the latest in our personal Grand Hotel series and is a winner so far, Shiny clean, with comfortable furniture and decor that struck a sensible balance beteen modern, comfortable, and the traditional and a pretty impressive oak panelled Dining Room. The lunch staff had, unlike an earlier hotel, clearly been trained - a desirable change in table setting to accomodate a slight idiosyncracy of my daughter was spotted and immediately executed. While a pretty large prebooked family party was accommodated in the Drawing Room next door without affecting the service in our dining room. Roast Lamb on the menu - what else for Easter Day? - a wee bit tough [ but, yes, they did remember the Mint sauce] and Roast Potatoes that were a little tired, but the starters and puds were beyond criticism. The bar lightly stocked [ no Tio Pepe sherry and no GranMarnier, but acceptable alternatives were suggested without prodding, which suggests the staff knew what I was asking for. Not cheap, but not unexpectedly expensive the basic Easter Day menu £45. The hotel is strangely unknown in the locality - even my ”Lunching Advisor” - 30 years largely at the top end of the Hospitality Industry, was not really aware of it. Which might explain why the bar was not properly open until 12:00 or so and the dining room only half full ? Yes, we will be back; maybe next time to try the Afternoon Tea on the Terrace

Stayed 2 nights at the De Vere and couldn't fault it. Stayed in room 105 in the Towers a beautiful building just up from the main one. The room had a wonderfully comfortable Super King bed and the room was spacious and well catered for. Bathroom almost as spacious with lovely wash products/gels, and a very good hand rail installed for the step over bath with double shower attachments. Really nice breakfast selection and wonderfully will cooked breakfast. Staff wonderful and great stay was had. Note that it is nice and quiet just off the main road and ideal location for several national trust properties (Polesdon Lacey lovely) and RHS Wisley which is beautiful this time of year. All within a 20 min drive. Thanks to all at the De Vere!
