考文垂凱藝飯店

We stayed for 4 nights as we were visiting friends in the area. We had a king size room which was very spacious, the bed was comfortable and there was an armchair and a desk chair to sit on. The only problem was there was not a socket next to the bed but we managed by stretching the electric lead to a socket on the desk. The bathroom was very nice with a bath with shower over and plenty of nice fluffy towels. Housekeeping was good and the room was cleaned and towels replaced every day. Breakfast was excellent: various cereals and fruit followed by a selection of cooked items, then croissants, crumpets and toast. As there were not many guests there was no hot food on display. The chef Chris asked what we wanted and cooked it fresh for us which was great. The restaurant was beautiful, there was a bar and other meeting rooms. The only criticism I have is it is difficult for disabled guests. There are steps up to the entrance and I think they should look into providing a ramp. Saying that the young man in reception carried our luggage out to the car when he saw we were struggling. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

I've stayed here once before, so I had an idea of what to expect. It's not the finest of hotels, but its not the shabbiest either. The room I had was clean and comfortable, although when I stayed it was extremely hot. This of course is not the hotel's problem, but I was in a room at the front of the hotel, so with the window open, and the main road about 75 meters away, with no air conditioning or fans provided, it was quite noisy. I also experienced some noise from other residents later on in the evening chatting noisly in the seating area beneath my bedroom window. I had a bite to eat in the bar area, which was distinctly very average at best. Not an extensive menu, but that's not a problem. Although not inedible, the burger I had was dry and not all that appetising. No-one came to ask me if it was OK either. Would I stay here agin? Possibly yes, but I would also scout around the area for alternatives first.
