Stayed at The George as part of a large group, the staff were very helpful especially the Manageress who provided everything we needed whist we were there and was very helpful before the day helping with the booking and changing rooms around etc. The downstairs part of the hotel especially the front bar is very welcoming with the feel of... more

Luckily, the reviews below are now out of date as The George Hotel had a brand new owner back in January and the place has now been given a new lease of life. I stayed at The George for the weekend a couple of weeks ago and must say that for the price I honestly don't think we could have... more

If your looking for somewhare to spend time at then this probably isn't the hotel for you. For a base to sleep at it is cheap and clean, is central and has free parking. All this at a price that is hard to beat more

We have recently taken over The George Hotel Kettering, we are currently in the process of a long term investment in refurbishing the premisis. With a local managment team and owners we are looking to build and return the hotel to a high standard. Building our buisness within the local community.

THIS 'HOTEL' SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. It is absolutely the worst place imaginable. I am a frequent visitor to Kettering due to business and always stay in the Kettering Park (beautiful 4*Spa hotel). On this occasion the Park was fully booked due to a Robbie Williams concert so the George was the only hotel with a room available. I... more

We stayed for 3 nights while visiting family in Kettering. We booked the Lodge rooms as they were supposed to be bigger than other double rooms and, on checking in, the Receptionist confirmed that we were in one of the larger rooms. I don't know how large their normal-sized double rooms are, but I expected to at least be able... more

Not Good.

Stayed at the George for one night whilst travelling through the area. Cannot understand how they claim that it has been refurbished, perhaps in the 1920s. Room was terribly old and smelly, the bed was like a camp bed and the television must have been one of the first tvs ever made and should probably be on display in a... more

I stayed at the George Hotel while I was in Kettering on business. I was extremely disappointed in the entire standard of the hotel. The room I stayed in was very shabby, dirty, and badly facilitated. I was informed that the room had been recently refurbished... what rubbish! The room did not even have en-suite facilities; in fact, the nearest... more

Hi We have taken over the hotel from June 1st 2006. We are aware that guests have experienced a very poor service historically, and that I agree with comments that there has not been a refurb in the hotel for a fair while. We have reduced our rates considerbally to reflect this. We have began to introduce various changes into...

Not good!

We stayed at The George following a family party and so were only looking for B&B - the corridors smelt stale despite news being advertised of a total refurbishment. Our room overlooked a flat roof - obviously a staff smoking area and the area that the kitchen fans were housed - what peace and quiet! The rates we were charged... more
