Summary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryThe White Swan Hotel, nestled in a historic building full of character, offers a charming setting with its lovely architecture and a rich history linked to The Olympic. Guests appreciate the beautiful restaurant and appealing decor, which add to the pleasant ambiance. The staff are noted for their helpfulness, contributing to an overall positive experience during the stay.
However, the hotel's facilities and services appear to need some attention. Some guests have found the rooms dated and in need of refreshing. The absence of a lift presents a challenge for carrying luggage to the upper floors. For those with accessibility issues, the layout could be problematic, especially in bad weather.
Though the hotel is generally regarded as good or very good with phrases such as pleasant, exceptional and superb popping up in reviews, several guests have remarked on the high cost of staying relative to the quality provided. For the price, there were expectations of better services and newer amenities. Despite enjoying their stay, many feel the hotel has the potential to offer much more after undergoing necessary upgrades.
