Klimatyczny hotel z duszą. Bardzo miła i pomocna pani na recepcji. Duży i bezpłatny parking.
Śniadanie raczej słabe
Location was handy for attending nearby event.
When booking it didn't explain we were going to be separated and had actually booked two rooms. but the guy on reception tried to cram us into one and didn't reveal we had two rooms until we asked.
Location and the detail of an old building
Nothing
Staff were brilliant and very friendly.
It was easy to find and was well laid out. I did not have to look for the breakfast room!
No lift! But I understand I cannot always avoid stairs! I must ask in future.
The staff were super friendly and helpful, breakfast was solid and the bedroom was great
The toilet seat wasn’t fixed in place
Lovely place to stay and stuff friendly
Very helpful staff, we had a late check in and they were great
Some of the bedroom needed some TLC
Perfect location, and good value. My room had a really comfy bed and was very clean.
Some of the decor in the corridors and some of the room furniture looked a bit tired.
Good location, near town centre. Nice but dated facilities like bar / restaurant and general decor
It’s just a bit tired and creeky, in need of some modernisation
La simpatia del personale, il parcheggio e la comodità del letto .
Mancanza di ascensore.
Great location. Easy parking. Helpful staff and clean room.
Room was too hot and the fan didn’t work. We opened the windows but this didn’t make much difference as they had been shut all day. Shame because this is an easy fix but really let down the whole stay.
Location great. Ample free parking. Room was super nice… spacious modern bathroom, very comfy bed and pillows, tea making facilities, fridge, fan .. even ear plugs provided as hotel is on a busy road. Staff were fabulous.. particularly a lovely young lady from Greece… don’t know her name but full marks to her!
Could do with more accessible sockets for charging devices in the room. 10.30 checkout at the weekend? Come on guys… I need a lie in after a night out! Noon would be amazing but even 11am would make all the difference!
Charlotte who was front of house on our arrival was friendly and welcoming.Staff generally were helpful and responsive to any requests. The room we booked was on the second floor, spacious and comfortable bed, clean room with some amenities like gowns, slippers, tea/coffee making facilities…
Location was good for attending a nearby festival but it is in a run down part of town. If more than one night, I would not necessarily choose to be in this location.
The hotel was immaculately clean. The cleaning staff do a fantastic job and the hotel clearly has pride on its presentation. I was really impressed with this hotel and the reception staff were excellent, thankyou so much for a happy, clean comfortable stay. Also, the bed was super cpmfy!

L’emplacement Le parking L’accueil et tout le personnel
La salle de bain très vielle avec des dalles de sol non jointées et une porte de douche qui ne fermait pas. Et rien pour poser notre trousse de toilette. Le matelas mou et plus large que le sommier qui fait qu’on tombe du lit quand on est sur les bords. La chaleur dans la chambre - obligé de dormir avec ventilateur et fenêtre ouverte , donc avec tout le bruit de la forte circulation du carrefour. Cet hôtel n’est pas à la hauteur de l’enseigne BW et méritait un gros coup de rénovation.
Nice friendly staff
Very solid hotel. Decent location, good value for money. Staff were helpful & polite.
Location was good, room was clean and size was ok for the time we stayed, staff were really obliging and food was lovely
The fan we had in our room was a good idea both it did nothing it was hot!
The young lady who checked us in 8/8 at 22:30 was excellent, kind and so appreciated. She helped us and we were very tired - but she made us feel great and helped us immensely! Thank you to her. Other members we also great and helpful
Perfect for our MotoGP weekend at Silverstone
Nothing could have been better.
Clean , tidy .
Staff wasn’t as I expected . Not friendly or inviting . Don’t like that you cannot check in later or have the option to call . Nobody at the venue after 10 . My friend had a booking with them but couldn’t check in , in the hours . When she tried to call , nobody answered
convenient to town centre
view was the bins and back of the property ,awful view .Room needed painting especially the ceiling.Shower drainage was terrible.
Muito bem localizado, quarto grande, cama grande e confortável, banheiro espaçoso e bem bonito, bom chuveiro. Bem perto de tudo também, da estação, do centro e do Delapré Abbey, onde eu fui ver um show. Muito fácil chegar e sair de qualquer lugar. Me hospedaria novamente.
Room was spacious and comfortable, big soft comfy bed,big walk in shower,room was super clean. Staff were great and breakfast was superb,great value for money
Location, parking
Very springy mattress
The location was perfect and the staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating x
Very very hot and the one fan didn’t really help at all. Thank you for the earplugs, they really helped so I could have the windows open at night x
Staff very friendly, room very clean and breakfast was served quickly.
Our room faced onto a main road junction and therefore was it was very noisy to have windows open which was required due to hot weather. My advice would be to ask for a room facing away from the main junction outside or take good earplugs.
Das Hotel war sauber, zuvorkommendes und freundliches Personal
In unserer Zimmer war kein Balkon und kein Bidet.
Everything
No complaints
Nice breakfast,
Bathroom needed some repair work. Very noisy traffic outside.
Aphrodite goes over and beyond! She is respectful to guests and welcomed us with such a friendly demeanor. The beds are so comfortable, we love the beds!!! They are so thoughtful, the room had fan for the heat.
Stay too short.
The beds are comfortable, had such a relaxing, comfortable nights sleep. Aphrodite is respectful, professional and courteous. The location is so convenient, guests have so much variety as restaurants, take aways and shops are close by. Onsite parking is great too.
Stay too short.
Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was great
No Air Con, the room was very hot
Friendly staff
Lack of air conditioning
The staff was brilliant from changing beds from super to twins and ask if they could carry bags up for us or just asking how we was
Needs air con in bedroom and when private event you cannot use bar to get drinks. Lucky we ask in advance the the lady sorted couple drinks to take to room
Very welcoming and professional staff. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Lovely to have air con in the bar area. Spacious room . Parking good
Nothing
The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped, with everything we needed. The staff were friendly, welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful, especially allowing us to drop our car off early before heading to a local event, which made our day much easier. It's a charming little hotel in a great location, and although we only stayed one night, we'd happily stay again. Customer service was excellent throughout, and it's clear the team genuinely care about their guests.
V hot, noisy rd
Het personeel, het ontbijt.
Geen airco en veel lawaai van de straat.
Staff was very friendly and nice. Hotel is old, but it is clean and well kept.
There is no air conditioning in rooms. It was impossible to sleep due to heat. Even if we opened the windows did not help much, since the traffic was extremely loud.
The staff were very friendly and helpful
Sehr freundliches Personal. Einfach aber sauber.
Location was close to town centre & staff were lovely
Very noisy & hot as the temperature on the weekend was high
So welcoming it was fantastic
Nothing
Great value in a good location with good sized clean rooms and en suites
No air conditioning
Absolutely lovely hosting - was well looked after and comfortable throughout
Staff and location was great but that was it.
The main reason for this is that I was not informed that there was a private function so there was no food or bar open to people staying at the hotel. The staff were trying to be helpful but with my walking⁰problems. Walking was a big problem. To get to another location for a drink or food sorry. That is why I was not happy. As I do use your company on a regular basis. And for someone who uses you with a platinum card to get upset is rather upsetting. Thanks
The location was perfect for us. Staff was friendly. Rooms clean. Shame about the heat with no air on.
Hotel looking a bit tired
Everything. The staff were out of this world. Nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommend the hotel and stay there again. We didn't want to leave as everyone made us feel so welcome
Nothing
Only here for an overnight stay to break up our journey and the hotel was as expected. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast and also continental choice. Staff very accommodating and friendly.
Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast.
Traffic noise.
Another perfect stay. All the staff were so helpful and friendly, the room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.
Everything was great
Great location, short walk to town, really quiet even though located by the main road, the room is bigger than expected
Pleasant urban large-chain hotel with good rooms for short stays. Large bar area. Excellent helpful staff including in evening/bar.
No lift and not very smooth to get to upstairs rooms. Ok for a big chain hotel but I expected a bit more distinctiveness for an historic pub-inn. No in-room safe. Standard fare for breakfast but a bit slow when taken early and with strange coffee arrangements.
Location, cheap, clean and spacious
Traffic noise though there was ear protection supplied which we did not use
The staff were excellent and the bed was extremely comfortable
No lift but no drama either
Staff and food and two mins fron wh we wrre
There was no grip in shower ,very slippy
Good location, free parking, great value.
We thought it was a pub but it's now very much a hotel. It has a bar but we saw no customers using it during our stay.
Great location
It was perfect

Very comfortable bed, good sized bathroom, good location
Very friendly and helpful staff.
The location is very central , but also very noisy .
All good
No lifts
Central location, good comfortable bed, tv/wifi/facilities all good. Fridge and fan in room. Good shower and en-suite
Swipe in card could be temperamental but 24 hour reception so no big deal
Easy to get to close to the town centre and uni so we could visit are daughter Enjoyed the visit and will stay again when visiting.
Because how hot it was needed the windows open which made it a little bit my noisy than normal.
Clean, good location, friendly staff
Overall a little tired, needs investment
The room was large and very clean. Front facing aspect which could have been noisy during the week, (Hotel does supply ear plugs if required). We had no problem sleeping at our Bank holiday weekend stay. Fairly quiet with the windows open even. The full English breakfast we had was excellent. Plenty of food cooked to a high standard. We had an evening meal at the hotel and again the food was excellent. Very well priced good value. All the food for our stay was freshly cooked to high standard. The staff at the hotel were very friendly, very professional and very helpful. Would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Would definitely stay here again.
Everything was fine. No complaints. Type of one way system to get to hotel carpark
Absolutely everything! Top scores for comfort, style, hospitality, location and breakfast. The speciality coffee is absolutely devine and a must! Really close to central amenities,
There was nothing not to like.
Very near the University. Room was a good size and nicely decorated. Plenty of free parking (register at reception).
Restaurant is basically closed Fri and Saturday night cos everyone 'goes out'.
Room was cosy and bed was very comfortable. Room was warm and staff were very friendly.
There was slight noise from road traffic outside but this wasn't a big issue for me.
Rooms were comfortable, staff were friendly, on-site parking was useful
I hadn’t expected evening meals to be available (based on details when booking). On arrival we were advised that evening meals could be ordered, and as we had driven down from Scotland and were tired, we did order. The price was fair, but I would have preferred higher quality food even if it cost more
There was something indefinable and good about my stay. It was basic accommodation. The window in my room faced west, into the afternoon sun, and a busy street intersection. Both days the outdoor temperature reached almost 30. degrees. I expected the room to be too hot and noisy. To the contrary I slept better than I had in all luxury hotels (including Sea Containers and Fawsley Estate) over the previous month. The room was comfortably warm and the traffic noise diminished by 8pm. The burger for dinner and full English breakfast (included) were both competently prepared and very acceptable. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Nothing I can think of.
Large room, comfortable bed, large shower, good location near to town centre, good full English breakfast, plenty of parking spaces
No slip mat in the shower, road noise although ear plugs were supplied. Poor cereal selection would have liked muesli or granola.
The greek girl who looked after us both in checking in and doing the bar was exceptional
Great location and amazing staff.
Very tired. Some parts of the hotel are in very poor repair! Needed a good upgrade.
Staff are very polite , , clean room, very spacious, facilities to nake a hot drink in the room, old building, on the door step to town
The water in the fridge made my partner and myself sick after drinking it
Posizione e colazione
Struttura vecchia e prezzo alto
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room had been upgraded and was spacious and comfortable. The shower was easy to use and we had robes and slippers which was great. We didn’t have dinner but breakfast was well cooked and tasty. The lounge and bar area was pleasant. Parking was easy and free.
Our room whilst very good was too warm for me, but the traffic was noisy so I only opened the window for a few minutes. There was a fan that I could have used, which makes being too warm my problem really!
Excellent customer service from the staff. The breakfast meal was quite good and comprehensive. The rooms are spacious and neat. Wifi connection is good and reliable through out. Hotel is not congested.
The breakfast cutoff time should be extended from 09.30AM to 10.30AM or 11.00AM.
Lovely welcome from the receptionist who gave me a better room. Spacious bathroom. Very good cooked to order breakfast. Free parking. Great location
