Ticked all the boxes for download 😊

Nice location, staff were friendly. Hotel is tired and the stairs could do with re gripping as a slight hazard (lots of old winding stairs to get to your room) bathroom light didn’t work, reported but not replaced. Bed was ok, pillows a little flat. However, I could be over critical here as it was grand for us for our stay. Didn’t eat, so cannot comment on food, however the chef was out the front doing a bbq style cook out which looked great. Very close if you have download tickets and there was a free shuttle bus to donnington park right outside the hotel.
I love a bath when away- we only have showers at home 🥰

Do not recommend! Unclean room, felt unsafe

Donington Manor Hotel could do with modernisation and renovation work. It is a quirky place with character. Parking + check-in were fine. Went to dinner across from the hotel at Castle Inn which was lovely. Was booked into room 11 (twin) and my room was not clean at all - not talking about a little dust. There were many cobwebs, spent about 10 minutes removing spiders in the main room and the bathroom. Bathtub had black bits in it, 1st bed had markings on the bedding, 2nd bed had markings in the bed. Bedside drawer handle was broken. Even with the instructions to lock the door, I couldn't tell from the inside whether the door was locked. I was travelling solo so made me feel unsafe and uneasy. Charging points nowhere near the bed/accessible, even with a long charging cable. I spoke with staff at reception to ask for my money back as I wished to leave the hotel due to these conditions, they offered to show me other rooms first. First few were just as unclean as my room and the next couple were OK but didn't have any charging points near the bed so wasn't suitable for me. The last room they showed me did have charging points by the bedside and was, for the most part, clean enough that I felt like I could sleep there - there were still bits around the room that had built up dust but the room was a lot cleaner than my initial room and had a much better locking mechanism on the door. I agreed to move to that room but I will not be returning. I do NOT recommend!

Tired and needs better management

On arrival my room had no bedding. I was then moved to another room with no bedding as well. The third room I was given had bedding but the heating did not work. The duvet covers fit the bed correctly but the duvet inside is not the correct size leaving lots of loose material with no duvet inside, which doesnt help when the heating does not work. The room does not have a secondary method of securely locking the door from the inside. Other than this the staff were understanding and helpful.

Room had cobwebs and dead flies all over the sash windows that has obviously been there for some time. Disgusting. When complained room was changed immediately. Will never stay there again as a result that the management, cleaning management and staff think that it is acceptable to even offer the room in the standard.
