Hotels Near Coundon Wood in Coventry

Very comfortable single night stay. Very large room, clean and good value for money. Check in with one member of staff took a while and should be quicker. Negatives - told on arrival we needed photo ID. This is the first we knew about this and the only thing we had was a railcard. Fortunately that was enough. Also, first thing you see when you arrive in reception is signs saying about No ID - No check in. Signs about tolerance to staff, signs about fines if room left dirty or smoking / vaping. No a pleasant impression on arrival when coupled with long check in time. Needs improvement

Hotel was clean and nicely furnished, staff was friendly and attentive. Bed was very comfortable. Location is very convenient, next to the Coventry rail station and many bus connections, and also great for attending conferences at the University of Warwick when the on-campus venues are full. Being a new hotel, there were some expected growing pains. The thermostat often had issues regulating the room temperature (I would set it at 22~24C and the room would end up at 28~31C because the control system would not stop heating the room once it reached the right temperature, and I had to turn it down manually). The restaurant seemed a bit understaffed (it had to turn away guests when only half the tables were empty because it lacked the capacity to handle a full slate of guests).

We booked this hotel last minute after having to make changes to our trip to the NEC. Not fancying a glamping pod, we booked a room and were allocated the honeymoon suite. The hotel was very clean throughout and you could smell the cleaning products as soon as you walked in, indicating the cleaners had been in doing a thorough job. Staff were lovely and friendly and let us check in an hour early as the room was ready when we arrived at 2pm. Free parking is provided and I could see my car from the window of our room. The location is good and site was nice and quiet, despite having an events centre next door. There isn’t much within walking distance however there’s a bar and restaurant on site to cater for your needs. There’s also free wifi however our mobile signals were absolutely fine so we had no reason to make use of it on this occasion. Jacuzzi in the room was a nice touch and big enough to fit two people in. Was delighted to find out that a complimentary breakfast was included the following morning, and not too early either, starting at 9am. Sunday check out at 11am was ideal without us having to rush. As pleasant as the hotel is, it needs a fair bit of work. It’s very dated and tired looking. It’s creaky and old and is in need of a bit of a restoration, more than just a lick of paint here and there. The walls are paper thin, as I was lying in bed I could hear the person in the next room using the toilet - I won’t get graphic but let me just say I could hear everything as though I was in the room with them. One of the windows in our room wouldn’t shut at all, which wasn’t a massive issue as the weather wasn’t too bad, but during colder months this would’ve been impossible to sleep through. The old wooden frames were warped and you couldn’t even put it on the latch as the metal lever had snapped. There was no hot water for the shower so we were forced to take a cool shower. Not the end of the world but a bit inconvenient. My wife also pointed out that there was nowhere for her to get ready and do her makeup. The room is more than big enough to fit a dressing table in and this would’ve saved her sitting on the floor in front of the mirror to do her hair and makeup. It’s also pricey compared to local competitors. Breakfast was okay but lacking a few basics - no hash brown or black pudding. It would also benefit from a variety of options such as fresh fruit and yogurt. On the whole it was a nice experience but I’d only stay here again if I couldn’t get in anywhere else OR if it was modernised and updated throughout.

Stayed one Tuesday night with business colleagues. Well presented hotel in a largely residential area. Plenty of car parking, welcoming reception. Evening meal at the onsite Marco Pierre White restaurant was very good, attentive staff with a sense of humour. Retired to the bar afterwards, but this closed at 10:30pm. Gone are the days of 'the bar stays open until the last guest leaves!'. Room was clean and bed very comfortable, other than there is no air conditioning. there was at one time as the grill is still above the entrance but the control panel has been replaced with a brass panel. Too expensive to run it? There was at least a fan (and a safe) in the wardrobe. There was no guest welcome information in the room at all, no feedback form, and no information about the 24/7 room service menu choices. I don't know if guests staying a few more nights or non-business group bookings might get more in their room or not? Marked down one star for the lack of air con and the early closing of the bar.

The hotel is in a really good location and is clean! The room is a good size and has everything you need from tea and coffee an iron and a hair dryer. The staff at the front desk are very friendly. The only problem I had was that every where in the hotel was very hot the room does have air con tho so once your in there it’s ok. We would stay there again

the staff is amazing!! there was a nice young man was glasses on I didn't know his name but he helped me with getting me and my partner coffees we had a laugh with him too him, Dora and Sarah made us feel so welcome the food was so lovely aswell we will defiantly be staying here again thank you

The castle hotel where Elizabeth I spent his childhood is really beautiful, the environment is beautiful, and the medieval castle hotel itself is classic and beautiful, it is worth visiting. Service is good, breakfast is good, as long as it is not a weekend, the price is super high, it is definitely worth a stay |

Every member of the Hilton Team we met during our stay were fabulous- receptionist, bar staff, executive lounge team, Brightsmith Restaurant, house keeping, breakfast, concierge - all keen to help, have a pleasant chat and a laugh- yet continue to work and remain professional - very tuned in to guests and the guest experience. A credit to themselves and the hotel. Our room was exceptionally clean and I have to say the bed and pillows were the best I have ever slept in, amazing. The hotel was busy which added to the atmosphere and buzz. Yet the bedrooms were really quiet. In my opinion The Metropole has the edge over other hotels. We stayed here a few years ago and it still has that 'plush' appeal, it is a treat to stay here - it was like coming home and we intend not leave it so long before we return again. Thank you all.
