Hotel bedroom spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only problem that we had was the fact that the lift was out of order and had been for some time , and was going to be so for another month, just not good enough. I will say that the receptionist did change our room from the fourth floor to the first floor, apparently the lift only goes the third floor.

Efficient check in. Location right in the centre of Bradford, across the road from the train interchange. Outstanding view from the room overlooking the square. Lovely old building full of original features. Now the bad news… we had a room on the top/3rd floor, but the lift was out of order. I’d read reviews, so knew to expect it. It just seems that they’re in no rush to get it fixed. What I didn’t expect was the disco/nightclub in the basement of the hotel that could be clearly heard even on the 3rd floor. The noise went on until 1am on the Saturday night/Sunday morning, so no chance of any sleep before then. Overall, a good stay in a lovely hotel. If you pick a night with no disco, it’ll probably be even better.

Right in the centre of the brilliant centre of Bradford where pedestrians can move around freely in the recently replanned Norfolk Gdns. Very good location my room was good. The lift wasn’t working so that was particularly annoying as I wanted to get into my room quite often and had to go up and down two flights of stairs. Otherwise, I’d recommend it

We’ve already expressed some thoughts in our review yesterday. The central situation was excellent and was perfect for us. We really liked the general feel of the hotel - impressive foyer and wide corridors- and the staff were good. Our room was comfortable and we enjoyed the luxury of a sitting room with a settee. A very comfortable bed, we slept well. Our breakfasts were good - a lot to choose from and we thought the quality was good. Of course, the downside was the lack of a lift. I understand this has been out of order for some time and needs to be replaced (we thought it just needed repair.) Anyone booking a room here would need to give this serious thought- the stairs are impressive but there are a lot of them! Perhaps some reduction for anyone above the ground floor could be considered. We feel sorry for staff if they have to carry stuff up and down. Otherwise this is a great hotel!

the hotel is located across the road from Bradford Interchange bus and train station so very handy if travelling by public transport. Located near the heart of the city so convenient for the major attractions including the media museum. The city itself is quite compact sop most things are within walking distance. The hotel is a Victorian railway hotel built in the mid19th century and still retains the grandeur of that time. The rooms were clean and comfortable and despite being near the main stairs there was little noise. Despite the status it is a very reasonably priced hotel.

Great location for city centre shopping, ample parking in the area although prices vary a lot from £1.50/hr to £8.00 for 24hrs Breakfast was plentiful and taste was fine, didnt have evening meal as menu seemed limited and not that appealing, room size was larger than expected with very compy bed, bathroom was also nice size, all very clean and fresh smelling, would recommend and stay again

We didn’t have as good stay as we usually have had on previous visits. We like to stay in an executive room which is on the top floor but during this stay the lift was broken for both days we stayed and we had to carry our cases up all the stairs which was a bit of a trek. Whilst I understand that lifts can break and it takes time to find parts etc .. we were not told about this before our stay, had we have known, I’ll be honest we may have cancelled as we knew how high up the rooms were and I suffer with Long Covid which is made worse when climbing stairs. We didn’t go out the first night because I was so poorly after climbing the stairs with our cases. I also felt that the staff were also not as friendly as on previous visits - when we checked out the man at the desk didn’t even lift his head up to acknowledge us. We have loved staying at this hotel and return every year but I will be considering other options when I need to book next year.

The hotel is very good in terms of location. The rooms are large (we stayed in an executive room) and the hotel is very clean. It is very good value for money. Our room would benefit from being able to open the windows or air conditioning, as the room got very warm during our stay and we could not cool it down. A fridge in the room would also be good.

Good sized family rooms, great central location with fairly priced on site car park. Room was a little too warm for us but we were able to open the bathroom windows to let cooler air in - only a minor issue.
