Amazed at how dated and poor quality at this hotel.
Genuinely shocked - this needs a total refurb and new staff ….but mainly the fabric, especially the rooms, is frankly shocking.

Fabulous 1 night stay at Complete Angler, Marlow
Celebrating 60th birthday. Great spacious room with balcony overlooking the weir. All staff were very courteous. Breakfast was wonderful in a delightful room overlooking the river and bridge in Marlow. Free parking and very quiet.

Lovely room with fabulous river view. We had a meal in the Riverside restaurant with 16 other guests and we were looked after impeccably. Great to stay at this well know hotel too.

The hotel was lovely and in a beautiful location, right on the riverbank. We ate in Sindhu, which I highly recommend.
There are no USB ports in the bedrooms, which is worth knowing in advance.
Breakfast was ok, but not great and certainly not the expected level for a 4 star hotel. The coffee was horrible and I would have expected better.
However, overall we had a great time.

Such a great location totally spoilt by a very tired and overpriced hotel. Go to the Travelodge the rooms are far better!
