Chatsworth Hotel

Absolutely pants hotel frankly, they should lose a star or even two! I’ve stayed in a few four star hotels in Spain, Mexico, and America and attended hotel and catering school, therefore, I know absolutely nothing about the hospitality industry.
Upon check in, when asking for the safe to deposit my passports and extra cash they looked at me a bit funny and provided an antiquated sealed bag system; no big deal here, but we’re just getting started. I booked a single room months in advance but since the hotel was full up I get a family room with bunks no extra charge but weird. There is an iron burn in the floor but no iron to be found anywhere. The trouser press works at least but what about my smart shirt: never mind.
The décor looks like it has not been updated since Queen Victoria’s day; although I do enjoy a touch of nostalgia, when I’m paying over 100 GBP a night for a room, I want it to be clean and smart to look at. I will say a kind word so you can see I’m not a monster troll who lives in the internet just to slag off poor unsuspecting lodgings. Shower was very nice and water pressure was good and the sheets were clean and smelled nice.
Moving on to breakfast; day one we had to queue in order to be seated although there was another room that had tables and chairs in it not made up. Fair enough if there are not enough staff members and too many guests but there were several of them milling about trying to look busy until the queue started. Qualify of food was fair, but absolutely forgettable. Day two, I received a cheerful good morning but was made to wait twenty minutes before the girl came over to take my order. I was only having weatabix and juice so it was fine, but come on!
Now for the reason I decided to write this review that will be lost in the annals of Qype/​Yelp, but here goes. Checking out of the hotel there was a deluge in the street, a proper storm, and so I asked the front desk to ring me a cab. The manager informed me that there were only two cab companies in town, a boldface lie mind you, as I now know after some research that there are at least five!
I will review a very nice bed and breakfast that I stayed at just to prove I’m not always a miserable bastard. If you managed to survive through this review, found it helpful (or hideous) please leave a comment. Thank you very much and all the best!

This is a very luxury hotel but very overpriced for what it is. The restaurant is quite big, with a wide variety on the menu. The rooms are very clean, some with ensuite. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
