Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, making it ideal for sightseeing and close to shops. The rooms are comfortable, but lack natural light, and the service was a bit let down by design and management.
The hotel is conveniently located in the city center with easy access to shops and restaurants. The rooms offer comfortable bedding but are let down by filthy skirting boards in the bathrooms. The service was friendly, although the management could be more attentive. Dining is not included in the price but should be for better value. Overall, a decent option for a stay in the heart of Bradford.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located right in the heart of the city center, making it easy to explore Bradford. The rooms were spacious and had a choice of shower or bath in the ensuite, which was a nice touch. However, the service was a bit of a letdown due to issues with checking in and requests not being promptly addressed. The dining options were not included in the pricing, which was a downside. Despite some shortcomings, the overall stay was comfortable and pleasant.
The hotel offers excellent facilities with big beds in the rooms and serves a delightful continental type breakfast with a hot roll. The aircon worked well, making my stay very comfortable. However, the customer service was lacking due to design and management issues at the front desk. The welcome drink was a nice touch, but it was disappointing to see only one staff member available for service.
