How are you looking after the safety of your team?

We have training on hygiene standards for our teams and give clear guidance on taking time off when feeling unwell. PPE has been provided for job roles that require this. There are also communication channels in place for team members who require further advice and guidance.

How are you looking after the safety of your guests?

We will continue to reduce contact at check-in and check-out via contactless payment and by using Perspex screens within the Reception area and till areas. Room key cards are being thoroughly sanitised before re-use, and our housekeeping team ensures that all guest bedrooms are deep cleaned. There are also hand sanitiser stations in key locations throughout the hotel.

We have implemented the following sanitisation and cleaning measures:

Thorough deep clean and sanitisation before reopening
Use of globally recognised chemical provider Ecolab & increased use of appropriate chemicals
Increased time allotted for room cleaning to enable a deeper level of cleaning
Disinfection of all touchpoints within bedrooms & a ‘one cloth per room’ policy, meaning a new/fresh cleaning cloth in every room

Under the Hotel Proprietors Act 1956, an hotel proprietor may in certain circumstances be liable tomake good any loss of or damage to a guest’s property even though it was not due to any fault of the proprietor or staff of the hotel.

This liability however--
(a)extends only to the property of guests who have engaged sleeping accommodation at the hotel;
(b)is limited to £50 for any one article and a total of £100 in the case of any one guest, except in the case of property which has been deposited, or offered for deposit, for safe custody;
(c)does not cover motor-cars or other vehicles of any kind or any property left in them, or horses or other live animals.

The View Hotel operates a smoke free policy in bedrooms and public areas including the balconies. Electronic cigarettes, also known as e‐cigarettes, are not permitted to be smoked inside the premises. If evidence of smoking is noted during your stay, we reserve the right to reclaim costs associated with deep cleansing of the room and any business interruption. This charge will be taken from the debit/credit card of the registered guest in the room. Furthermore, if continued disregard for the no smoking legislation is suspected you may be asked to leave the hotel. Please ask our reception team on arrival if you would like to know where the designated smoking areas are available.
