“deep clean”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 18, 2012

Nice staff, helped me with booking a taxi, location is quite close to train station and town centre. Bed was quite comfortable and the linen was clean. A medieval theme running through the hotel is not to my taste, but is consistant and a lot of attention to detail on the decor.
The room had not been hoovered, the chair in the bathroom had a layer of dust on the under part and there was a musty smell from the room. There was dust in a lot of other places too. The hotel in general could do with a deep clean. The window is georgian and fits the style but not practical with a busy road and a hot room. Bathroom had no wall fixture for the shower hose and at one point there was no hot water. The carpet in the batroom is away from the wall and there was tape on the bottom of the bath. An electrical shower would be better. The extra money for the ensuite was not worth it. Only one electrical socket in the room. Bit frustrating. The breakfast was poor on selection. No fruit, pastries or yoghurt. The coffee had been sat out a while and was very bitter. The fry was tasty but I would have liked more. A newer faster toaster is needed. I think the hotel has begun renovations as I noticed the newish tv and carpets. I would like to see it if some money was spent on modernising it.

“Disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed June 7, 2012

I stayed here a few months back and was utterly dissapointed. The staff were ignorant and the room was very small and cluttered. The underneath of the bed had obviously not had a clean as there were cigarette butts and general rubbish under it. After stayeing here i had encountered a rash on my hands and lower arm from the bedding that landed me in hospital with a severe infection. I had tracking up my arms and on my wrist that led to minor septicemia. Would not EVER stay or reccomend to anyone

“Best hotel in burton. Because it is family owned!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2011 via mobile

Best Place I've stopped in a long, long time. Forget travelodge and premier inn, they are your basic standard. This hotel goes one step higher than the mundane experience. Customer service is the best I've seen in such a long time. Thanks to Rob and Brian.

“Wedding Reception Review”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2011

Anyone who is thinking of having a wedding reception should look no further than the Grail Court Hotel. The Manager, Brian, was absolutely fantastic, helping out with everything and making sure it all ran smoothly (a big massive thankyou to Rob & Jess as well). The hotel itself is Arthurian in theme and is just a lovely environment.

Would we go back? Absolutely!!! 10 STAR rating from my new wife and me.

PS Watch out if you're staying there on your wedding night as your hotel room key apparantly "accidentally slips out" of the managers hands and falls into one of your friends/family hands and you will find lots of streamers and petals underneath the duvet :D

“great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 26, 2011

First of all, the nightclub has closed so no worries about being kept awake all night. B/B in a double was only £56 so as far as I`m concerned its good value. Room was clean, the shower worked which from previous experiences was a bonus. The owner is really friendly and helpful. It`s not luxury but at £56 what do you expect. Would happily stay again.
