    Breakfast is quite limited. No cheese options and no freedom to self service. You need to wait the waiter to serve you. This needs to be improved

    The WIFI wasn't working, I had a deadline to meet, which I needed to use the internet to work but was disappointed. Also, the green door to enter into the executive wings need to be checked, you need to try swiping the cards several times before it can finally take it and open.

    The room was really beautiful and we dont have anything against the room or cleanliness

    Nice Hotel conveniently placed - would stay again

    • Standard Double Room with Double Bed - Non-Smoking

    The TV's in the bar area - Why? Found a table away from the TV's - I realise it is only my opinion, but in a rather upmarket setting, having TV's close to the bar area reduces it to the level of a sports bar. I was in room 115 which had several ceiling lights, and a bedside light not working. This ought to be reported by the cleaning staff on make-over and not a customer. Room was comfortable but noisy because the one double glazed window was past it's sell-by date, and unfortunately for me, overlooked the hotel service area which was noisy until late, and noisy again early in the morning. A definite negative. The view from 115 is a brick wall - luck of the draw I suppose. Discovered the kettle/tea/coffee etc. in a cupboard which also contained a clothes rail and a trouser press. Would have been more convenient [and obvious] on a decent tray on the writing desk next to the wall socket. Dirty cereal spoon at breakfast - dishwasher didn't do it and whoever set up the table didn't check.

    Walk from the station was only a slow stroll of 10 minutes. Central location was perfect for our plans. The booking.com pictures of the hotel did not do it justice. From the online pics it might have been a shabby affair & had a Weatherspoons look about it - but as it turned out, it has to be one of the more upmarket hotels in Peterborough. Everything looked almost brand new and all the staff were in hotel uniform. Beautifully decorated throughout with quality carpets etc. We noticed the integral car park too which if we had driven, would have been free to park in and directly accessible from the reception. Plenty of seating in the extensive bar area which was similarly decorated very well with secluded table seating in places. No intrusive music. Breakfast was good with the usual help yourself cereals and hot food was served by staff at a servery. Staff were polite and cheerful.

    A bit dated in places. The postcode takes you to the front door rather than the car park. I heard several people talking about the same thing. You need to make it clear that the postcode for the car park is different.

    Bed was too small for a couple it's a small double in think, bad pillows, and room was quite cold. It would be too cold in Winter, it was chilly in October, even with radiator on

    Location is great, close to mall and station. Entrance and bar areas are really pretty, nice and cosy. Room was a good size, and food in the restaurant is good

    When you looked out of the window, all you could see was a wall. There was also a humming or hissing noise all the time. I thought it was an air conditioning system running, but it wasn't. It wasn't coming from outside either, as closing the window had no effect. Lastly, unfortunately the internet was very weak. In a hotel of this price range I actually expect a corresponding internet.

    Everything was pretty neat in this hotel. Some of the staff were super nice. However, one or two of them were a little condescending, so I thought real class was more likely to be found at 5 stars and real charm at 3 stars. But that aside, the breakfast was delicious once you understood how everything worked. Once you knew that, the waiters became friendlier. The atmosphere tried to be a little snobby but fortunately didn't succeed. The room itself was very nice.

    The location on the Peterborough one way system meant that it was difficult to access the car park - when I went in to reception - having paid for parking elsewhere I was given very clear instructions which enabled me to get to the car park in the end. This information would have been more useful if given when the booking was made.

    The room was generally good standard but like other hotels the TV didn't work because the batteries in the remote needed replacing.

    The twin beds needed to be wheeled around a little as the only plug was hidden directly behind one of our beds. Not difficult to do at all as it all moved easily, but something to bear in mind if you're looking for one by the bed and can't see one!

    We really enjoyed the size of the room and the location of the hotel, which was perfectly situated between the train station and the central cathedral. The entrance was very fancy and well tended to. Will be returning as the price was very good for a lovely room.
