I was booked into this hotel by someone else, this will remind you of a hotel at a airport. The hotel once inside is okay, room was clena and had a good nights sleep, so no complaints. Breckfast was not that great. Staff were professional.

last minute booking for my son and his girlfriend for a treat. They said it was a lovely hotel and they had a great view of the football pitch. Got a great deal with the price as well

We recently stayed here for a family wedding and decided to book a pitch view room (as my fiancé is an avid Coventry fan!) The room was small but that didn't really matter as we didn't spend a huge amount of time in there. It was clean and tidy, bathroom quite modern but we did feel it needed a bit... More

Dear Skippers11 Thank you for your review on trip advisor, We used to allow the Slidding Doors to be opened to gain air in the room, but then we had some guests to spoilt it for the rest by going onto the pitch, so we had to take the stance to close the door with a restrictor. We are just... More

We checked in late! Check in staff seemed more interested in their own conversations and the television. We were given little information about our stay. we were only told where to have breakfast and how to get to our room i.e we were not told what time checkout was. The room was very dark! Two lamps weren't working. We also... More

Dear Mr12345678 Wow - From reading your review you have not enjoyed your stay with here at the De Vere at the Ricoh Arena, There are things that we can improve on (Towels, Cups etc) but there are also things that we can do nothing about (Emergency Alarms) these are here in case of emergency and hopefully save people lives...

You don;t expect much when you hear the rooms in the hotel are converted executive boxes but we found the rooms absolutely lovely. You enter the stadium entrance and go past a breakfast.bar area up a lift and all the corridors are dark (sensor related lighting is really environmentally great). The rooms are quite long and contain a lot of... More

Stayed here last night for business. It's a strange place to stay and doesn't really feel like a hotel as it's inside the stadium. I stayed in a room which overlooked the pitch, but essentially the room was blatantly a hospitality room which doubled as a bedroom. If you're happy with just a bed and bathroom, then the room's servicable.... More

We stayed at The Ricoh as my partner grew up in Coventry & we were visiting family. Location is brilliant. Car parking is free, but confusing...we turned up and there were no signs to say where guests at the hotel should park, so my partner had to go in and ask. They only stated which car park to go in,... More

This is the fourth time we have stayed over at this hotel and once again, we had a great time. The hotel is within the Ricoh Arena stadium (Coventry City Football Club's home ground), so yes, it is a sporting venue (with views of the car park!), which means plan your arrival time if it's a match day (it's worth...
