Joanna

Travelled with group

Friendly helpful staff/nice decor

Great hotel, Secure parking (included in your price) Opt for a room with Air Con, as it was so very hot in the room. It did have a portable fan for use. The breakfast was average. Nothing spectacular about the breakfast. When we got to the cooked breakfast they’d ran out of most items and had to wait for freshly cooked items. NOT SELF SERVICE. Positives, Friendly helpful staff, lovely old building and decorated nice and tastefully. Beds were comfortable (pillows weren’t) Car is in a secure car park with locked gates at night. Clean hotel throughout. Staff very accommodating, switched our room for second night due to heat/no air con.

I Shall Return

I have stayed at the Bull Hotel once before because I live in Skegness and I needrd to catch an early train from Peterborough. So, when I needed to do the same thing the Bull was the obvious place to stay. There is plenty of parking, with two EV chargers. I programmed my car's sat nav with 3 Fitzwilliam Street Peterborough as the archway over the entrance to the carpark is immediately to the left of number 3. The room I had was clean, tidy comfortable with two armchairs. The bed was comfy. I ate breakfast there. Breakfast is a buffet. Breakfast was an enjoyable experience. To quote MacArthur when thr Japanese invaded the Philippines 'I shall return'.

The bathroom was very hot possibly because there was a steady trickle of hot water into the bathtub. The shower had a high pitched whine when in use. I informed a technician at the hotel.

This is our second stay here and once again we've had a lovely time, so much so ive booked anothe stay for December. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and our room was perfect for us. The hotel is in the city centre and is a short walk from the cinema, many pubs, restaurants and shops.

Fobbed off with the wrong room

We had paid for an executive room and were given a standard room where the aircon didn’t work and hadn’t been cleaned properly. We were robbed off that it was the correct room until they found out we have stayed before many times over the last 38 years. We were then moved to the correct room.
