Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, while cozy, were tucked away in a maze of corridors. Despite being slightly smaller than what I'm used to, the room was nice with a surprisingly spacious bathroom. The decor, especially in the rooms, could use a refresh but downstairs was more impressive. The service was a hit or miss with some staff members unfriendly, but most were efficient and polite. The location, although not the most attractive, was close to the historic cathedral area, making it a good value for money choice with easy access to the Broadway theatre. The dining experience was average, with a monotonous buffet and some items running out quickly. Overall, the hotel offers decent facilities and is situated in a convenient area.
I was impressed by the well-appointed rooms that had all the necessary facilities like a TV, kettle, and toiletries. It was a relief to be able to control the room temperature, especially after a long journey. However, the service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being rude while others were very friendly. The location, right in the heart of Peterborough, was convenient for my stay, but the dining experience left something to be desired with slow service and average food quality.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Queensgate shopping centre, within walking distance of the train station and the Key Theatre. While the rooms were clean, they lacked in decor and had hidden amenities. The service was mixed, with friendly staff but some issues with noise management. The dining experience had both positive and negative aspects, and the facilities were adequate.
I had a very comfortable stay at the hotel, perfect for shopping and attending a festival. The free car parking was a great perk, and the evening meal and breakfast were excellent. The rooms were clean and cozy, though there was a small issue with the initial request. The location was fantastic, right in the center of town near a large shopping mall and various dining options.
The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to Queensgate shopping center and within walking distance of the train station and Key Theatre. The rooms were a letdown with a small TV and no air conditioning, facing a noisy main street with cars speeding by at all hours.
The hotel is in a convenient location for city visits, close to shopping centers and local attractions. The rooms were a bit cramped and dated, but noise from the high street wasn't a major issue except for early morning disturbances. The service was a mix of friendly and rude encounters, room service exceeded expectations. The dining experience was overpriced and lacked variety, but there are plenty of cafe options nearby. The facilities were overall satisfactory.
