    • Nothing!
    • the price cheapest Icould find
    • The staff is very friendly. The hotel is run by a very friendly family that make you feel welcome. Entrance looks a bit run down but the room was good and comfortable and lokked a lot better than the entrance.

    Cons -

    • Lots of flies in the room. We needed to get fly spray and fumigate it. Cobwebs hanging from ceiling. We booked two rooms but only one room had been reserved. Very noisy people in room next door arguing all night. Hotel staff woke us up at 2.30am.
    • The hotel overall looks a bit run down and messy. But the friendliness of the staff more than compensates this. Would come again.
    • Decor a little dated in the reception.

    Location quiet & beds comfy. Host very hospitable

    Decor a little dated in the reception.

    7CathyPosted on: 2-2-2026

    Rooms spacious and clean Staff very helpful Breakfast excellent

    Dated exterior and communal areas, (but the rooms were bright and clean)

    9RonPosted on: 1-22-2026

    For a basic, budget hotel, it was a very clean and well maintained hotel. The room was cleaned after one night, which lots of pricier places don't bother to do. Bin emptied, more biscuits provided. Nice touches.

    The room was too warm, even with the radiator turned off. The continental breakfast was very basic with no pastries or croissants.

    Location, bedding was clean and fresh

    Lack of staff, it’s dated and needs investment and lack of life was an issue and as I booked for 2 elderly ladies I was upset that they were put on the 2nd floor despite the place being seemingly completely empty. Yes someone helped them when they arrived but it was like a ghost ship when it came to leaving!

    Horrifying, bring back the Hind...

    1. Mould in the bathroom 2. Door in my room leading to the main road was left unlocked 3. Nearly got refused entry for not bringing a passport despite being told i don’t need one for this property

    7ClairePosted on: 12-22-2025

    Comfortable big room, good breakfast, great host, easy parking, good location for Wellingborough.

    I cant think of anything

    10NickPosted on: 12-21-2025

    Staff great and friendly.. Room nice and spacious. Great shower and bed. Did not have breakfast so can't judge that but it did smell great

    Nothing, all good

    7DavidPosted on: 12-8-2025

    I arrived and was allowed to go into my room 45 minutes early which was good, the room was clean , the bathroom was clean considering the age of the property. The breakfast was nice, not a buffet style but to order and worth the £10 charge.

    The price was a little expensive considering the age of the property and the decor, the hotel seriously needs an update, the rooms when I arrived were freezing and after enquiring as to why the room was so cold , I was informed it was because "the heating is on a timer and does not come on until 5pm as the hotel is "Big" and expensive to heat".£75 for a night with the age of the building and the smell of damp due to the heating being switched off continuously I believe was too much.

    Nogthing

    9ClairePosted on: 11-24-2025

    Location, easy parking, wonderful hosts, large clean comfortable bedroom, good night sleep, breakfast as I liked it. Felt like home from home. Great value.

    The communal areas decor is dated.

    8BenPosted on: 10-26-2025

    Very easy to find, very clean and comfy the breakfast was nice. For the price you will struggle to find better

    Room was a little cold

    3LeePosted on: 10-20-2025

    It was close to the town center

    bed was to small and mattress was to hard woke up with and bad back, bath had dirty marks on it there was marks on the towel wouldn't stay here again,

    1BryanPosted on: 10-19-2025

    Bad

    The promised breakfast was NOT included. Description when reserved stated "breakfast included in price", we were charged £20 extra. I will never use Booking.com again!

    5BarryPosted on: 10-5-2025

    Very friendly staff

    Dated decor, not a great menu for food

    8KathleenPosted on: 9-22-2025

    Lovely welcoming and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable basic room, perfect for our overnight stay and we had a good night's sleep.

    A little rough around the edges but easily overlooked. Definitely don't judge the book by its cover! The carpet and furnishings are brand new in the room. The only thing I'd change is the fact the TV didn't have cbeebies channel or access to iPlayer much to my 2yr olds disappointment. And there's no EV charging on site but who can complain with plenty of free parking available on site?Would definitely stay again!

    8MarkPosted on: 9-20-2025

    I have stayed here a couple of times as I needed to visit the area, the staff are really friendly, breakfast is good and location very handy for the town centre. I have stayed in two different rooms and both had really comfortable beds
