Northampton Inns

We stayed Friday for one night as we were visiting friends in nearby ****on Bec. We were warmly greeted by Julian and check-in was easy. Our accommodation is just across the car park and was more than adequate for our needs. We decided to have a drink before going out and there is a good selection of beers and wines, all reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Julian and learning about his sister's plans for The Narrow Boat. Obviously in January the weather isn't appropriate for sitting out in the garden overlooking the canal, but there is also another indoor restaurant that overlooks the terrace. We were more than happy sitting in the smaller restaurant/bar area particularly with the log-burning stove beside us! We had a look at the food menu which looked very nice and reasonably priced. Our breakfast on Saturday morning was delicious. My husband opted for the ”full works” which had a supplement, whilst I went for the standard one. Very nicely presented and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. As other people have said, The Narrow Boat is on the A5 so you will experience some noise from the road but you get used to it. We look forward to coming back to stay again the next time we're in the area. Thanks to Julian and the chef for making us so welcome.

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service and friendliness of your staff during my recent stay. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly comfortable and welcomed. The bed was remarkably comfortable, and the room was not only pleasant but also remarkably soundproof, allowing for a peaceful night's rest. I especially appreciated being able to open the windows for a quick breath of fresh air. Moreover, I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast offerings, including the wonderful vegan options provided. It made my mornings even more enjoyable. Overall, my experience at Northampton Town Centre Hotel made my visit to Northampton truly memorable. I can confidently say that the next time I'm in the area, I will make it a point to stay at your hotel again. Thank you once again for your outstanding hospitality.

Really easy when checking in, staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though we had booked without breakfast, they still gave us all the times in case we changed our mind as well as the times for the food and the bar. The room was clean and just what we needed for a getaway. Plenty of space and it had really good space to store our belongings away. Good amount of plugs, especially having one either side of the bed. Bathroom was clean and a really good size. Wifi was included, which made it more appealing as usually when we go away we have to pay extra!

I only stayed for 1 night on a business trip but would have been happy to stay longer, was surprised by the reviews but most poor reviews are now dated. There is a small car park next to the hotel and you just put your registration into the tablet at reception to avoid a parking fine. From the moment I arrived the staff were so welcoming, my room was on the top floor and there are no lifts due to the age of the building but there are plenty of landings to stop on the way up. The room was clean, warm and the bed could have slept 7. Lovely ensuite with walk in shower and the towels were hanging over a warming radiator so were toasty after the shower and they were super fluffy. I ate in the restaurant for my evening meal, it was very relaxed, even with a disco going on in the main room, the ceaser salad was tasty and a good sized portion, the bread and butter pudding was amazing ! Once you leave the bar area you can't hear the main room disco. Your breakfast is made to order and there is a selection of juices, cereals and bread for toasting while you wait. The food was served on a warmed plate and was just right to set you up for the day. The staff throughout the stay were nothing but friendly and helpful.

he issue that I have experienced was: When I first arrived at the hotel I requested an iron and and ironing board. The member of staff gave me an iron but stated that I could not have an ironing board because it must be in a room. I asked if I could get it later as I need to iron my shirt for work and was informed that it would be sent to my room. This happened at around 3 in the afternoon, it is now 10.15 at night and they have not produced it. Next I ordered a meal in my room, I waited 1 hour before going to reception and finding out they forgot to send my meal to my room. I was informed that the meal was ready now if I wanted it I could take it, which I was happy to do, only to find out that they had tried to give me my meal that was stone cold. Not good for chicken and chips. I then ordered a smaller snack because of the time and waited 45 minutes telephoned reception and was told by the supervisor that they had just come on shift and knew nothing about my issues. She apologised and assured me that she would personally bring my sandwich to me in 15 minutes, 30 minutes later I go to reception as I had still not got my sandwich and it was too late to eat at 9.30 at night. I asked to speak to the supervisor outside as the members of staff who gave me this poor service were by reception and I wanted to speak privately, outside I did not get an apology for the poor customer service of her staff and she did not apologies for incorrectly telling how long I would have to wait the second time, after I had told her about my poor experience. She then said ”you don't want the food raw, do you” after me complaining about her keeping waiting the second time. I teach customer service and this has been the worst service I have ever received in a hotel ever, and I will using this experience with Ibis in my classes on a perfect example of how not to treat a customer for a long time. This is my first experience of Ibis hotels and I am shocked that this is how you treat your guests. It occurred on: 01/09/2022 This meant that I am in my hotel room furious and disappointed and have not eaten. It feel ironic that tomorrow I will be teaching customer service and I am unable to sleep because of how much this has affected me. I am not satisfied with the service I have received and I feel frustrated that it is too late to book into another hotel. Train your staff to a much better standard and made aware that this is not good enough. Send me a full apology and the cost of my evening meal that I did receive should be charged. I don't expect any of the things I have shared with you to make any difference to the staff and if I was ever foolish enough to stay at this hotel again I am sure I would get the same poor customer service. I just hope that this is a poor hotel and it does not reflect other hotels in your chain.

Attended a meeting at the Delta hotel, we use it a lot as a business for meetings, today we had lunch too. My dietary requirements make it more difficult to eat out, today however, I had a lovely cooked meal and even dessert without gluten, dairy or any seed oils used as either ingredient or part of the cooking process. Wonderful staff took time to check before arrival on needs, check timings on the day and ensure my food was warm and fresh! I really really appreciated the efforts, it has made my day!

The Sunley Hotel is located in Northampton University campus. Parking is convenient ion Car Park 3. When I stayed there it was during the heat wave so some areas were very warm. The bedroom came with a fan which made the room tolerable. The room is very modern and comfortable. PLeanty of power outlets and tea making facilities. Room was not too small either. Breakfast was in the dining hall opposite and was quite good. The location is very close tpo the centre of Northampton and I was able to walk to work along the river. Very pleasant. UoN Campus is very modern and pleasant.

Excellent Food and Great cocktails, friendly & helpful staff, shout out to Gail and Glenn who couldn’t do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble, excellent room (large and spacious) and hotel clean throughout, will definitely stay again and highly recommended

Very pleasant stay, clean rooms, nice shower, comfortable beds, fantastic breakfast with so much choice, staff were all so lovely and helpful. Lady at the reception gave my daughter a colouring pack and a lollipop. Thank you, would stay again!
