Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Heritage from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean rooms at The Heritage, noting that they are very quiet, especially those overlooking the front. The breakfast, with its very nice setting, receives high marks for quality and variety, and dining in both the restaurant and bar is a common highlight. While some found certain areas, like corridors, a little cold, many thoroughly enjoyed the spa facilities, including the thermal suite and jacuzzi, and the convenience of the onsite parking and the 5km walking loop.

Breakfast included a wide variety of options and featured fresh, local produce. I liked the pastries and the omelet station. The gym was well-equipped with modern machines and free weights. There were multiple treadmills and elliptical trainers. It supported a good range of workouts.
The television remote in my room needed new batteries.

Excellent Stay

spacious roomwell-appointed bathroomcomfortable bedhigh price
The room was very spacious. It included a well-appointed bathroom. It also had a loo with its own door providing perfect privacy when sharing the room. The bed was comfortable ensuring a good night's sleep.
The hotel attempted to charge one friend a very high price. The price was not proportional to the time spent at the location. Pricing revisions should be considered for fairness.

the bar area for the wedding seemed really dirty. my white shirt got alcohol all over it after i leaned on the counter, staff did not clean the spillage. the water in the bathroom taps was too hot and burned my hands.
