GwenanJoy Billington-Vickers Went for a spa day, and frankly the extra star to make it 4 would go to the spa team in general.
Facilities: the space in general could do with a little bit of an upkeep, the changing rooms whilst pleasant- large shower cubicles, clean floors, good amenities it was notable whenever the mens opened into the pool area there was a strong smell of bodily fluids. Theres a pool, steam room and sauna, these were enjoyable but it could be noted some of the tiles were a bit dated and crumbly. Unlike some of the other Q hotels the spa here does not have a hot tub or heated beds.
The rooms in general for spa treatment could have done with a little bit of a clean up:
The spa lounge whilst having basic amenities: tea, coffee, chairs, just seemed a bit out dated and the loud crackling of the AC unit was far from relaxing.
For treatment: as I lay down on the massage table I looked up to see thick dusty cobwebs and thought to myself how am I going to relax thinking of cleaning that thing? Thankfully the spa treatment made me have my eyes closed and I did in the end relax. I would highly recommend their facials and scalp massage!
Food: in general it was okay, breakfast has some excellent variety and included poached eggs! However for lunch included in the spa day, the options were a little lackluster and most of the salad option was pretty much a plate of just huge chunks of tomatoes and cucumbers (no leaves to be seen)- there seemed to be less of a team around today so service was slow, and the lounge area the bartender didnt seem too sure of some of the tasks asked (a promoted drink with the measurements for serving on it was a bit of a challenge) however the staff were polite and the seating was comfortable.
Would I visit again? Possibly, if there was a good deal on their spa treatments, however I would acknowledge the food provision issue is not alone to this particular Q hotel. There is potential, and for a spa treatment in itself it was pleasant enough.
