This is a fantastic place to stay for business travellers. I have stayed here multiple times while on business at the University of Warwick. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. The rooms are neat and clean, with all the comforts you need while away and working. Although not ideal for families, I have stayed with my daughter on occasion... More

I have stayed here quite a few times now on a variety of training courses. You can not fault the service, quality and how could I fail to mention the food. I really do think that this is one of the best the country can offer. Everything works too, even the WiFi!

I have stayed here twice. The first time, I was very ill, but that was from a sandwich bought at M&S in Southwaite service station. Again, I was here on a two-day Open University residential school. Reception is friendly, efficient and courteous. No problems whatsoever. My room is smallish, spartanish and comfortablish. There are no pictures on the walls, but... More

Been to several work related conferences/ seminars here and found rooms as good as any 3 star hotel; bar area is very pleasant, drink selection excellent (usually with one or two real ales) and food selection in restaurant is just so good! Recommend for any conference organiser to consider - also recommend as an alternative to nearby 3 or even... More

Very close to the bus stop.Good location for conferences etc. Arriving on the weekend, I was met with a closed reception - with no way of entering! It maybe worth bearing this in mind if arriving on a weekend. The “hotel” was incredibly quiet, with very few patrons – I only saw two other guests and heard another, which could... More

Clean rooms, filled with handy tools (stuff for suits, coffee maker with goodies...) very good bed, temperature is OK. Breakfast buffet are splendid, dinner can be bit expensive, although very good quality. Friendly staff, both in restaurant & amenities. Very close to campus. Only disadvantage could be that your room is far from the main entrance, so be prepared for... More

I was only here overnight and for a conference, but I found the hotel to be pleasant and friendly. I didn't pay for it, so I've no idea if it represented value, but I would have happily paid a fair price. Several reviews have commented on the rooms being small - I didn't find this to be the case.

I have stayed here twice for work-related courses, the most recent occasion being in December 2011. On the positive side, the rooms are clean and pleasant and of more than adequate size for one person. The staff at reception are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.
