Location is good
Old rooms converted. Creaky doors. Creaky floors. Shower looked about 20 years old. Breakfast was so poor. Nothing was fresh. £200 for a night here is daylight robbery
It was a great place to stay, warm and inviting
Receptionist a bit frosty and the drinks in the foyer empty
The very friendly and helpful staff.
The bar prices, and when did it become a thing to charge guests to park? It's not like it's central London.
The food Parking
The bedroom,514,had a non flushing toilet!Informed receptionist and while out it was looked at.On return poorly worked once! Hardly any water filling for flushing! Unacceptable and prevent any future stay! Not value for money unless we receive a lower price/ refund!?
Friendly staff at both check-in abd check-out. Room ok but loose tap on wash basin
No bottled water available from room service. I could get some from the bar but would need to go down myself.
Lovely staff and great pool
Nothing everything was great
Bed was comfortable
No safe entering the hotel. There is a homeless camp at the back of the hotel. You need to walk through this to go between car and hotel. The smell of human faeces and urine is overwhelming also. I was hassled on numerous occasions and felt unsafe. Bathroom was also old and mouldy.
In a great location right near the town centre
Breakfast
Spa hostel with no spa treatments Card only payment
Location
No shower gel in the container that you don’t notice until you are in the shower. Very little loo roll. Bathroom was in serious need of decorating. Paint flaking off the ceiling.
Always love staying here
Tight carpark

Bathroom a little tired
Location and facilities
Dusty rooms, black mould in bathroom broken wardrobe door and stained carpet
On site parking ($) great location, excellent room, friendly staff & well Priced
Dinner starts at 7.00pm
Stayed for business and found that the hotel was adequate for a one night stay. The room was clean, parking provided , friendly knowledgeable staff and in a good location with parking facilities.
The room decor was slightly dated and in need of some modernisation
Pool,sauna and steam room
No regular coke at the cafe.
Friendly staff, comfortable room,clean, decent size. Very good location.
Nothing to complain about.
Price
Small rooms
The room was rather clean and tidy, the bed itself was also very comfortable, sheets and beddings were clean and not ruined, no stains or odours from pillows, etc, and nothing major to complain about. The hotel restaurant was also clean. For the breakfast itself, the food was fine.
Hotel location was at the centre of town which meant quite a bit of noise. Breakfast was the most unsatisfactory because the machine provided for self serve coffee was broken and unusable, and the staff brought lower quality instant coffee in a thermal flask, which we did not fully appreciate.
Place was very clean and staff were very helpful and friendly .
Very polite staff
Parking
Beds were so uncomfortable was like lying on concrete both the bed and pillows i suffer with a bad back and waiting for an operation and its just added to the pain, air conditioning was just making a noise would not turn up or down and the tap just dripped from getting in the room to going home, came for the wife's 40th with the family as we were booked in a restaurant for tea and thought we would relax after rather than drive home late but would of been easier to drive home after for comfort
Location was great. Staff were friendly and the was nice and big and spacious.
The room was not cleaned after the 2nd night. I came back in the evening to find that the room wasn’t cleaned.
It was a good quiet environment
Nothing
Excellent room and facilities
Swimming pool and breakfast.
A few stains on carpet in bedroom. Tea and coffee machine not hot enough.
Recomendable
How convenient and cheep it was
Just needs cleaning better the bed and room was fine just he pool steem room black mold needs cleaning dust all over skirting board and side boards around the hotel
The room was a standard hotel room, but with very comfortable beds. There were leisure facilities on site including a pool. Good selection at the breakfast buffet of hot and cold items.
Everything was fine
Breakfast was good. Staff were good It was good overall
The room was very warm Have some local drinks in the bar,
Good size room, comfortable bed, very clean. Good shower and bath. Everything there that I needed. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
I had nothing to complain about.
Its central location, the gym, pool and spa.
Our room wasn’t ready until 16.25. The check in time was 15.00.
Bed and pillows were very comfortable
Central location
Wait for the bar
was nice and modern ,and local to what i needed
when i went to strip the bed to make it easier for the cleaners the mattress was filthy
In a great location close to all amenities.
Nothing it was fine
Clean, comfortable and efficient staff.
I thought there would be AC in the room but apparently it's only in selected rooms.
We had a lovely overnight stay, staff were all friendly and helpful

How comfy the bed was and how comfortable and tidy the room were
The area haha
Comfortable bed and good location
Poor soundproofing. Noisy in the middle of the night when people come back talking noisily in corridors and in rooms before embarking on loud adult activities. Large dirty stain on the carpet and long hairs in the bathroom.
Comfy bed Clean
Some repairs in the bathroom look bodgy.
It was nice and staff were friendly. Breakfast was amazing
Stain on bed sheets and carpet.
Lokalizacja była największym atutem. Miła i sympatyczna obsługa. Duża łazienka. Czajnik, herbata, etc w pokoju.
Plamy na fotelach. Okolica też do zbyt atrakcyjnych nie należała. W nocy na pobliskim placu miała miejsce "impreza".
The jet facilities and the swimming pool area were nice, however not usable due to old people walking up and down
On arrival, it was not clear on how to park, the reception was not warm and welcoming. I was given my room. I went out and checked my room. The areas were dirty blackhead left over at the shower area. Breakfast was okay, however the selection was very very small due to it had run out and wasn’t restocked at time of visit, there was no check-in on how my day was no feedback. The area was rundown. I was approached by a few homeless people outside the hotel
Good nicely decorated clean room, fresh with no smells Evening meal and the service was excellent. Breakfast was overwhelming in food options with an incredible selection.
Little bit of mould on the bathroom tiles, but not offensive Parking was a bit tight. Didn't like leaving, most enjoyable!
Friendly staff, room exactly as you’d expect for a hotel.
Parking was an additional £8, which makes the hotel not good value. Should be included.
Good

Good value, has a sauna, steam room and small swimming pool
Some noise from rooms above. Breakfast could be of a little higher quality
room was clean and bed was very comfortable
paying for the parking
Easy to get to
Clean but bathroom would benefit from tiles/grouting being sorted - looking tired
i like the bed size and all i needed was within my reach without putting out a call
TV was not smart , so i had no access to netflix or youtube, and no proper lighting in the room

The spa facilities
Initially we was given a room which the sink was blocked and had water and dirt in it the phone was all dusty upon returning back to reception as we could not call down the phone was also broken we was moved to another room but nothing else was offered for the inconvenience caused
Very attentive and courteous staff
I.wasnt too keen on the quality of the breakfast sorry! But thats down to procurement not hotel front of house staff.

Burn mark on room carpet, very tired bathroom, kettle was dirty and felt sticky, shower curtain over bath,
Every aspect of the services was exceptional
No complains
We stayed here on a Ogdens Coach Tour for an overnight stay. We have stayed at this. hotel previously . Check in was quick and we were in our room 217. A nice big room with all typical amenities you would. expect. All well with the room,but can't say the same with the evening meal. Was very disappointed with the meal. From the soup starter to the main course all were luke warm. The meals had only just put out and had not been out under the heating lamps long enough. Most of the coach complained aout the cold meals. The two lady's serving were obviously supervisors and were friendly. I did notice that the barman Connor, also was working in the restaurant and again he was in the reception on me leaving. He was a friendly hard working young man. I ask is there a shortage of staff at this hotel? Breakfast was very good in the morning plenty of choice and hot. Hope te meals can be sorted out, it won't take much to improve them.
The spa
Parking charges
Location
Has seen better days. Single bed in the room was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was mediocre at best, unfortunately also put off by absolute horrific body odour from a server. Really unacceptable
Very comfortable and clean, breakfast was great and very helpful breakfast staff, check in was very easy.
On check in, I was with my partner who had driven us to the hotel. I was sorting check in as the booking was in my name. I was met with a comment 'you wont need parking i see' (i had a tinned spirit drink in my hand) which i felt was a rude and unnecessary comment.
Honestly just a great price and room was ideal. Always really rate this hotel. Friendly staff too.
All good.
Tired and in need of refurb in rooms
Good hotel just minutes from the railway station. Hotel is located close to city centre, and hence convenient, and a short walk away from the Teesside University - the main purpose of my visit to Middlesbrough was for some work at the University, and the hotel location served me well. Breakfast was very good and served with a warm smile by the team at the restaurant. My partner and I also visited the restaurant later to relax and watch some football. The serving team was amazingly friendly, and also chatted with me about the football world cup and specifically England's chances in the tournament. :) We will return to this hotel if we come back to Middlesbrough.
Perhaps just a random incident, but there was an issue with water supply to the room one day. Upon inquiry, we were informed of a "water tank cleaning" in progress. Something like this could have been informed beforehand to help guests plan around the cleaning time. Another thing to look into is the telephone in the room. Ours didn't work properly which meant I had to go downstairs to the reception to speak to the front office when I needed something. Please take the above feedback positively from an otherwise happy guest. And it's true - I am overall quite happy with everything the hotel offered.
Comfortable room, nice and quiet.
That I had to pay £8:00 for parking, as we stayed in the Hampton by Hilton in Stockton the night before. Top marks, very clean, quiet, and very professional staff. But the main thing was FREE PARKING!!!
The staff was really friendly and helpful
There was a big brown stain on the carpet in our room next to the bed
Room and building is bit old, need a refurbing. Pipes and water flow is very slow. Breakfast was Excellent and value for money. Breakfast staffs are very kind and friendly. Giving a excellent service. Bed is very comfortable.

Small parking
Good location
The road noise
Everything
The staff
I arrived and wasn’t aware of the £8 parking charge, I asked for the 1st floor as I’m disabled and petrified of lifts I was put on the 3rd floor, I phoned room service for 3 hours no answer I phoned reception they said it was off until 5pm, I called back no answer for another 2 hours and then no answer from reception. I called the gym to see about swimming to be told it was full and no more customers were allowed in.
Very nice
Everything was exceptional
Close to train station
The room was grim
Location, car park and cleanliness
Breakfast was not nice as over cooked in places and reheated
Great location. Room v good.
Very clean. Adelle and Karen in the restaurant were excellent. Pool facilities grea. Bed was very comfortable.
I was told last entry for pool was 6.30 so wrongly I presumed it closed at 7.30 however it closed at 6.45pm. I admit though that I didnt check so this was mostly my fault for not checking.
Was great value for money
The room next door fighting and banging off the wall all night keeping up the baby and ourselves
TV isn't a smart TV
Room was big
The bath had black around it and the bathroom was tiny in the pics it was a walk in shower
Clean facility, secure and good staff
Pricing
The room I stayed in wasn’t very well cleaned (see photos), and also in need of some renovation (again, see photos). Thankfully the bed was clean, but the rest of It was somewhat grubby, to be honest. I’m attaching the photos because I hope that seeing them will prompt the hotel management to have a word with the cleaning staff. My biggest issue was being unable to get a good night sleep, because I stayed in July and the room was clammy and hot at night. My room had no aircon (not even a thermostat), and while opening the window cooled things down, I then had to contend with noise from the city. The FAQ on the website promises that “each room has individually controlled climate settings for year-round comfort”, so that seems to be a falsehood for whatever reason. To give credit were it’s due, the ribeye steak from the restaurant was surprisingly good.
Room and breakfast
Food for evening meal and swimming pool facilities.
staff were friendly
The lift was broken and the one took ages, the showers had grime and mould, the room had no AC, the food was tasteless, breakfast was dreadful
Friendly staff
N/a
Breakfast was nice and room was nice
There was arguing and aggressive behaviour between staff and another guest when we arrived which made my partner upset and uncomfortable staying
I tried to think of something to grumble about but couldn't think of anything so I left a tip instead. Very comfortable, location very central to explore the town.
Food available in the evenings was OK, but expected it to be a little more upmarket for a 4* hotel.
It’s comfortable and easy to locate
Good location
Was nice and clean tidy and in a ok location
Had a nice swimming pool and the room was lovely just needed air conditioning
I always stay here when in Middlesbrough. Good rooms, good food and nice staff, plus a gym, pool and spa facilities.
The gym isn’t in great condition, but I can work with it.
Comfortable beds
Was told that the swimming pool is open until 7pm as i wanted to take my 3 years old for a little splash, however the lady (Claire) from sewimming pool said she is going home at 6:45 and she won’t let us in even for 5 min..when i asked to see the schedule and the rules of swimming pool she said she doesn’t have to show me anything and that i can go out..after i asked the receptionist for policy nd schedule and never got them..awuful service and behaviour..very rude and careless about their customers.
