Guest Ratings & Reviews
The room I stayed in, booked through BUYAGIFT as an executive double, had some issues like flakey paint on the walls and a poor bathroom state, but once I overlooked that, it was actually quite comfortable and spacious. The super-kingsize bed was a great touch. The location of the hotel was perfect for me, with plenty of car parking spaces and just a pleasant ten-minute walk into the city center over the River Nene. However, there were quite a few vans in the parking area that made it a bit crowded. The dining experience was a bit let down, but the variety was good, clean, and excellent value for money. The self-service option was quite delicious. I highly recommend doing room-only and heading into town for breakfast. The service was satisfactory, offering room service, car hire, dry cleaning, and a welcome drink. Overall, the hotel is decent for the price paid.
The hotel is conveniently located, offers comfortable rooms with essential amenities, a decent shower, and a very cozy bed. The service is satisfactory with useful room facilities. However, the location could have been better in terms of ambiance and seating options, despite being close to key attractions. The dining experience is on point with authentic Indian dishes available. Overall, it is a decent choice with some areas for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located within a decent distance of Peterborough, but the constant creaking floorboards and cold rooms were a downside. The service was pleasant with available room service, car hire, and dry cleaning. Despite the lack of chairs and atmosphere, the location is just a short walk from the city centre and the Peterborough football ground.
