Negative Reviews
negative:
Hospitality has mixed reviews.
While some guests at the St Paul's Lodge found the welcome to be warm, hearty and helpful, other guests thought service was indifferent and cheerless. Several guest felt that there ought not to be any extra charges for a cooked breakfast and felt that the available free options were inadequate. A few guests have complained about being given a different room than the one that was booked and paid for: uncomfortable twin beds instead of a superior double and so on. Several guests have described the management to be rather strict and uncompromising.
negative:
Old fashioned and in need of an update.
Though several guests felt that the lodge has character, several other reviews expressed the view that the lodge looks tired and in need of a revamp. The dated interiors, freezing shower, fittings that do not work, oddly placed TV are some of the problems pointed out.
negative:
Not great value for money.
Several guests felt that the lodge overcharges for the facilities and the quality of accommodation offered; that better options are available for the amount paid.
