I have weekly morning meetings at the mandolay hotel and the one thing i look forward to is my early morning breakfast. The hot buffet is always very nice with nicely cooked eggs and there is a good selection of continetal. I always enjoy the mini fruit pastries and pain au raisins as well as great selection of seasonal fruits.... More

I have been using the Mandolay for over 12 months now for weekly breakfast meetings, I have also had luncheon appointments, been to Christmas parties and evening functions, I use the free Wi-Fi in the bar area to sit and work, in total over 80 visits to the Hotel in 12 months. I think that qualifies me to comment on... More

I regularly visit the Mandolay and really have to recommend their breakfasts. Excellent range and you can eat as much as you want - it has become my guilty little pleasure! That is not the only reason that I would recommend this hotel, it is a great meeting place, has free WiFi which they allow no-residents to use as long... More

I booked this hotel due to it being close to where I was attending a wedding. We were given a room in the basement and obviously had a kitchen or laundry over our heads as the noise didn't stop all night. First it was people running up and down the corridor with what sounded like trollies then at 1 am... More

We booked a Double Executive room, but having spoken to our friends who were in Standard Double we struggled to work out what the difference was, if any. Our room itself was spacious enough, but the bathroom was a cupboard which only had a shower and no room to move around. Probably not a big deal for most people, but... More

An excellent choice of hotel with a really good restaurant serving interesting food. Staff were, without exception, friendly, welcoming, efficient and very well trained. Proximity to town was very useful.

We have just been to a friends wedding. The function manager was really helpful and the attic bedrooms great. The breakfast was good although the wedding buffet poor. However, we doul not recommend this hotel for an afternoon wedding or evening function unless all the guests want to be in bed by 11. Many of us were residents but were... More

I'm an American who travels to Guildford for business a few times per year. There are other hotels in Guildford I could select, but I can't help but choose the Mandolay. I enjoy the proximity to town, the charm of the moldings, the kindness of the ladies at the reception desk (not necessarily the men), and the plain beds -... More

We stayed 1 night at this hotel for a friends wedding and the family room was large and good value for £89 (inc breakfast) On arrival in the late afternoon I managed to get the last parking space in the car park and a few people who arrived after me couldn't get parked. The room was very warm and the... More

We stayed here for two nights while we visited London by train during the day. Our rather small room was clean, the bed and linens were good, and the bathroom was tiny but serviceable, so it offered what a hotel room should. The front desk staff were above average, we were loaned an umbrella without asking during a dreary rainy... More
