Find the Cheap Peterborough Hotels

The size of the hotel room is okay, the bathroom is quite big, but it is a bit old, and the sound insulation is slightly poor. Fortunately, the floor is not high, because you need to carry the suitcase upstairs. The location is good, within walking distance from the train station, bus station and the central area. In addition, there is no restaurant, so if you need breakfast, the hotel will prepare a simple breakfast and deliver it to the room.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, room was perfect, visual impairment awareness was spot on

Likes: The price was eye catching. Location was around 20 minutes walk from the rail and bus station. 10-15 minutes walk to the main shopping area, restaurants, cathedral. Quiet location especially as my room faced the back of the hotel. No noise from other rooms on the floor. Room had basic tea / coffee making facilities. Not used, but there wa a microwave, plate / bowl, glass and cutlery for basic self catering in the room. WiFi worked well. Breakfast served from 05:00 - yes, that early! until 09:00 on a Sunday morning so presumably same for all other days. Was good size portion for the cooked breakfast. Cereals, toast, tea / coffee plus orange juice. Dislikes: · Whilst the room was low cost and for that the quality of the rooms, furnishing and bathroom was not exactly good. In need of redecoration, bathroom was in poor condition. Not particularly clean. The fridge in the room was running just to keep 6 x milk sticks for coffee / tea cold. I had to switch it off as it was very noisy when running.

The standard rooms are small and old-fashioned, with no lift. Breakfast is full English breakfast, no noodles, no fried rice, no porridge, only bread butter butter bacon sausage fried tomato omelette scrambled eggs beans, coffee juice yogurt fruit. Strange things must be handed over by the waiter, not taken by yourself.

It’s about 10 min walk from the train station. The front desk gentleman was very welcoming and helpful. I arrived around noon time before the official check in and he offered an early check in with no hassle

We booked in here for 2 nights as attending a conference on site .We were booked in to Room 208.Reception staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout .Impressed with the air conditioning as it coped very well during such hot weather and in the conference room too Great sleep here on both nights .Breakfast was impressive with so much continental choice .Great coffee machines producing good range of tasty coffees. Two small downsides bacon so hard and overcooked particularly on Sunday morning and most pieces in the tray stuck together, Food okay in the café and Caesar salad with chicken and a burger .Flat whites were so good on the Saturday afternoon had too order more. However the next day when ordering flat whites from a different barman they were the worst my wife and I had ever tasted-need consistency .Overall though very good

I stayed at the Dragonfly as I was attending a two day work related course in Peterborough. On check in I was asked to leave a £1 refundable deposit on my card - this seemed a little odd as I’d already paid for my room but I agreed. I have not had this deposit refunded - in fact it was taken out of my account five days after I left the hotel. Nothing was broken on my stay. Upon arrival to my room, I noted the faint stagnant smell of old cigarette smoke . I used the bathroom and the hot tap swivelled which I found odd. I was able to use the tap by pressing down hard. I went back to reception to address these issues. The lady advised me they would look into it and get back to me. They didn’t. I found the room I was in (109) was an odd shaped room. The television faced sideways to the bed so made watching television and relaxing in the evening not possible. The double bed I had was in fact two singles pushed together and not of the same height. This made for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. During the night, the room became immensely hot which woke me up. I couldn’t see why as the electric storage heater wasn’t on. The corridor outside was also hot. In the morning, I found the shower door to be stiff and would not close properly. Upon going to dry my hair, there was no plug situated anywhere near the mirror. Being someone with very curly hair who needs to see how they are drying their hair, this was impossible and I had to use the camera on my phone as a mirror. Unfortunately I suffer with food allergies. I spoke to the waiting on lady at breakfast who advised cornflakes were available for myself. Not what I expect having paid £10 for the breakfast. She appeared very put out when I asked her to check with the chef about items on the hot menu. She came back with ‘ the chef doesn’t really know but here is a photo of the hash brown packet’ . I was able to eat either cornflakes or scrambled eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes. Not really acceptable for what I paid. I have contacted the hotel but haven’t heard anything back. It’s a shame this hotel is so outdated- not just in the rooms themselves but with education of allergies for staff and also in their lack of trust for customers when they already have their card details from room paying . It may only be £1 deposit, but every time they don’t refund £1 deposit to 100 people, thats £100 in their pockets for free. This is such a shame as the hotel itself is in a lovely setting.
