Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The desk staff were welcoming and professional. The room was perfect with a heat pump for warmth, but also a window that opened if you needed fresh air. We both agreed The Elms was one of the best hotels we had stayed in.

This hotel has the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. It is clean and well maintained. Glad I stayed here. Breakfast has plenty of variety and very tasty. The hotel is a little way out from the centre of the city but a bus route runs out the front.

My wife and I attended a special 7 course meal with matching wines from the Torlesse Winery and the evening was managed by the Elms hospitality manager, Ravi. His attention to us and all over detail for the dinner service meant we had an exceptional experience. My wife loved the evening and our stay at the Elms. Highly recommended

Would definitely recommend staying here...friendly staff, clean room, value for your money. They are upgrading rooms which ours was none and was lovely. However our mattress had the roll together going on...which if no one had told them before us hard for them to address...would come back and stay again....thanks

Had a fantastic time, very happy with the facilities and service. They are currently having work done to upgrade the hotel, so it got a bit noisy during the weekdays, but they made us aware of that at time of booking and when we arrived, so we were fine with that.

The rooms are in the process of being updated by the looks. It is older but not too old that it is late doing the upgrade I think it is good timing. Bed and pillows were very comfy I had a good nights sleep.
