Ampfield accommodation from NZ$141

The bed was comfortable. Upon leaving there were no luggage carts available. There was a convention going on and my husband had to bring our luggage down one piece at a time. I am disabled and couldn’t help him.

The welcome at Reception was excellent and was a great start to our stay. The staff in the bar/restaurant area were outstanding and we enjoyed our evening so much we planned on going back for lunch the following day. Unfortunately this was when our whole experience changed, we asked for a late check out at 12 but were told it would cost us £10. This seemed petty as we were told late check out was fine. I am also a member of the hotel’s loyalty club and one perk was not having to pay for this. The receptionist told me that this didn’t matter as I had booked through Expedia. She also called me by my first name which I considered rude as she had not introduced herself. We had recently stayed at the Leonardo Grand Harbour and they had not charged us for having our room for the extra hour despite also booking through Expedia. Unfortunately it was a disappointing ending to our three days here and has put us off a further visit. Due to the 11 am check out we did not stay around for lunch so we ended up going home. We parked in the Bedford Place car park which charges £11 for the first 24 hours and £5 for each subsequent 24 hours.

Staff was friendly. Food was good. Nice breakfast buffet
