The Auldington is a lovely building in nice grounds. My room was clean, with lovely high ceilings and a comfortable (firm) bed. The bath was sensational! Original glass in the windows & lovely views. There were a few things which diminished the quality of my stay, reducing my review to 3 stars. The staff member who checked us in was extremely thorough – racing through everything anyone may ever need to know about staying. Unfortunately, the sheer volume of information he served up made it difficult to take any of it in. He then proceeded to lead us to our room, where he showed me how to open a door (turn the key & push) and then actually entered the room. I found this awkward & a little uncomfortable. There definitely needs to be improvements with some insulating / soundproofing. I could hear people walking on the floor above my room every morning and hear voices from the rooms around mine in the evenings. On my last night, I was in the bathroom & the whole room started vibrating and a low rumbling sound – it took me a minute to guess that there was a spa in a room nearby. There was also loud music in the bathroom, although it didn’t travel through to the main room with the door closed. But someone else’s music wasn’t quite the ambiance I was looking for. The biggest issue I had was with the air-conditioning. It seems as though the building has some kind of multi-head split system in operation, which means that every outflow has to be on the same mode for it to work. Apparently, one room didn’t get the memo & I was left for 5 hours sweating with no air conditioning because it suddenly stopped working. I find it incredible that this was seen as a sensible option to install – and then give every room a remote. While I was told not to change the remote on check-in, I could easily understand how that nugget could be lost in the sheer weight of information delivered at the time. I stayed for 3 nights in a City view room. The view was nice & certainly nicer than what it would be from the back of the building. Location wasn’t bad, but a little out of the way. It is quiet, which is good. On-site parking. There’s a lovely corner café close, which was a bonus for morning coffee. Would I stay again? Not in summer, not in winter (when heating or cooling is required). Perhaps in spring.
