Good price for the convenience of being within walking distance of the rail station and the town centre. No air con in our room though there was a fan. Our stay coincided with the hottest day of the year, up to that point. On hotter days, the room may become stifling. We reported to reception that the extractor fan in our room didn't work.

I chose the 4 star hotel for a special occasion, booked a deluxe room which was worse or same as a premiere inn. Staff not very friendly shouting across the room at breakfast, very basic room no fridge no complimentary water I expected better for a deluxe room,I dread to think what a standard room looks like. Disappointing!! Wouldn’t stay again.

Worse than Premier Inn but more expensive.

I stayed for 2 nights and I would not book again. I found the reception staff to be either unpleasant or rude. It was a bizarre juxtaposition because due to how nice the downstairs lobby seemed in terms of decor and ambience I was surprised at how dated the room was. All power points were on the opposite end of the room to the bed (which is just annoying in 2025) and one of them didn't work properly. The shower was so strong it was painful and unpleasant to use. It was roasting in the room but there was no climate control nor any way to turn the radiator off. The desk chair had no cushion so was uncomfortable. The mattress on the bed was the same- it felt cheap, but I slept well enough in it. For such a short stay my key card stopped working multiple times to the point of frustration, and when it was working it took ages for the door to register it to let you through. (They did admit that they were updating this soon at least!) The hotel breakfast was expensive for what you got (I know hotel breakfasts are expensive but this did not feel worth it) and the staff were having a loud personal conversation that was disruptive to the peace of the early morning. I was in Peterborough for an event so I thought I would use my rewards points to stay at an independent rather than a chain. I'm sad that I wasted them on this hotel and I regret not staying in the Premier Inn instead.

Rooms are very dated. We paid for a delux but it was tiny, old and dated. My husband who is only 6.1 could not stand under the shower as it wasnt high enough. They also made a mistake and tried to charge up for breakfast,we had to find our original booking which yook a while by which time ourwe had to leave so we couldnt have breakfast. They wouldnt refund and when we tried ti claim back through the people we booked with the hotel told them we'd refused breskfast which wasnt true
