We arrived very early and staff were preparing our room well in advance of the usual check in time. We were greeted by very friendly front-of-house staff and invited to take tea in the lounge whilst we waited. During our three night stay, we ate in the Brasserie, enjoyed Afternoon Tea, used the gym, sauna etc and had a spa treatment. The staff were proud of their hotel and nothing was too much trouble, willing to go above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be. We highly recommend the OGH.

The room was ok, but nothing special, I was expecting something larger and a bit more impressive for the money.
Breakfast was pretty small, and the service seemed to take forever.
I wanted this hotel to be amazing, but it didn't do anything to wow me.

A bit disappointed in our room initially but ignored the invetable initial attempt to up sell. The room was small and a bit cramped but had all the amenities expected...we thought. In evening we tried the TV and it wouldn't work, we went for a drink and the duty manager said he'd 'fixed it and left it on' should have realised that meant...I've fiddled with it and managed to get it going but it's not fixed...don't switch it off ...as you won't be able to turn it on again! The bed was very hard.
Anyway, the service was excellent, the food, cocktails etc were not cheap obviously, but again excellent.
Next evening same scenario with TV..we can't switch it on, the younger assistant manager also cannot switch it on (attempts require fiddling with a box in a cramped space behind tv.. which he knows, so clearly this is an ongoing issue)..this is not a 5 star room as it has a broken TV for a 3 night stay in somewhat rainy March, you get a working to in every basic hotel. For goodness sake OGH, buy an another telly for this room!!!
This member of staff sensibly and swiftly found us a different room, which had a TV (and more comfortable bed) but this was much more of a palaver than it would have been to move on our first night, which clearly should have been done.
So full marks to the young dark haired, very hard working, assistant who sorted us out but low marks for putting us in a poor room with broken TV when the hotel was not even that busy....
Apart from that faultless service and lovely food so have still scored service as excellent, and would recommend!

We had a four day stay here, arrived early on Friday before the room was ready but were made welcome with a coffee. Hotel offered valet parking and made everything about our trip so easy. The room was beautiful - understated elegance. We ate at the restaurant on two nights as the food and service were wonderful. Also tried the spa which again was great. Would definitely go back.

I had a takeaway this evening from Everest lounge. I can honestly say it was one of the nicest curry dishes I’ve ever had. I had the lamb madras and it was nice and spicy and could really taste the chillis. The portions were a great size having had the lamb chops to start. Everest Lounge is genuinely a great restaurant which I would recommend to anyone. There was also great vegan options for my partner.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Our family visited the Everest Lounge for my daughter’s 5th birthday. The food was amazing and the staff could not have made the experience more special for my daughter who put her first the entire evening. Would highly recommend and will be back! Thank you!

In December 2018, Trevor Walls said about Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
The shows they put on are very good. Done by small groups of players who play several parts during the show. If you go to one that includes a meal, then you find that food is excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Really good venue for live music. Usually go here to see TALON - EAGLES TRIBUTE, who I follow all over the country. Good view of the stage wherever you sit. Good variety of shows as well.
