Hotels Near Anji＇s Emporium in Preston

I needed a Hotel close to the city centre, and the Holiday Inn was ideal about a 10 minute walk from the Railway Station and close to the city centre. Checkin was so quick and the staff where very freindly and informative about the Hotel facilities, which sometime doesnt happen. I was on the 7th floor and the room was perfectly clean / tidy and well kept. I went to the bar/restuarant for something to eat, the menu had something for everyone and i just sat in the bar. Food was delivered in good time and the quality and taste was good and a member staff came across to ask if everything is ok which was a nice touch. I had a good sleep in a comfortable bed and it was very quiet. Breakfast was a self service buffet with a good choice of food on offer. i would stay again as the location/ hotel and staff where excellent

Good stay in a fairly close location to Preston centre. Uber only £5 so not mega expensive and saves the walk in being around 15-20 minutes. Rooms modern with bathrooms being very clean and adequate ventilation considering it was a warm night. Only negative would be that there should be a notice on the booking stating how small the car park was. Any car that’s a small SUV and up will very much struggle to manoeuvre, with it being clear to see with the scuff marks on the posts inside the car park. Also the fee for parking overnight was around £3 Overall a pleasant stay for a really good price. Would definitely revisit if staying in Preston again.

I've been staying here regularly while working nearby over the past 12 months. The rooms are spacious and well decorated with the usual things like kettle etc. The fridge is a great feature as is the large TV which has on demand channels available. The lobby area is very large and decorated to a high standard. Almost all the seating areas have power sockets, so there's no need to worry about a dying phone or laptop battery letting you down. The hotel provides free WiFi all through the building and is very reliable. The hotel team are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They are quick to deal with any issues you may have during your stay. I always look forward to staying here and being well looked after by a great team of staff.

We have just returned home after a three night stay at Astley Bank. On arrival, we were pleased enough with our room even though it looked a bit dated and tired. Friends joined us for dinner in the restaurant that evening and the food was good. On our first morning, we had breakfast in a small side room where we had the choice of fruit, yoghurt, pastries and a cooked choice from the A la Carte menu. All very nice. We had been informed their was a wedding that evening but as our room was on the second floor we weren't at all bothered by the noise and had a good night's sleep. Our main issues are around breakfast on the second day. Because of the wedding party, breakfast was a buffet in the restaurant. Also, on our last morning breakfast was again served as a buffet in the restaurant. On both days we were told to leave the restaurant at 9.30 sharp as the staff needed to prepare for lunchtime guests. We were also told there were no more pastries left as they had all been eaten. Astley Bank is a four star hotel but from our experience on the last two mornings, breakfast was not a four star event. We should have been informed that the A la Carte menu would not be available and, in our view, offered a refund. Our other issue was the over the bath shower in our bathroom. The water came out little more than a dribble, again, not what you expect from a four star hotel. The majority of the staff were very pleasant, with a ready greeting and smile. Mainly because of the issue over breakfast, we would have to think hard as to whether we would return. Any changes from what one might expect should be clearly explained upon booking.

My friend and I have just returned from celebrating a special birthday at Northcote. It was a terrific experience from the moment we arrived when we were greeted on the terrace by the friendly team. We lunched on the terrace with a light snack and the best chips we have ever had. Our room was delightful with every attention to detail paid in sophisticated style. Comfortable beds and lovely linens. Lots of appreciated touches to create a comfortable stay. The five course gourmet dinner with a new summer menu created very recently was sublime. From the 'snacks' to dessert, every course grew in intensity, ingenuity and flavour. It was truly wonderful. Among the special touches for my friends birthday, a card and a glass of complimentary champagne. It is these gestures that add that extra delight to an altogether memorable occasion. Finally the jewel in the crown, the team who work so hard with ever present hospitality that are a credit and the epitome of Northcote. Return visit definitely on the cards.

We spent New Years Eve and have to say, it was a brilliant way to bring in 2024. Our rooms were lovely. They were clean, and beautifully presented. When we arrived at the Blazers Suite for our Carvery Dinner, the staff had prepared a table really close by, as I had mentioned when booking that a member of my party was a bit unsteady on her feet. The receptionist said there would be somebody ready to help her to carry her hot meal, and there was a lovely member of staff at the back of the queue, who was more than happy to assist with choosing and carrying the plate to the table. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the salmon and prawn starter, wrapped in the lightest pastry. The DJ was good, and the dance floor was packed all night. At midnight there was a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne. Only one little quibble, to knock a star off. I checked breakfast and check out times with the receptionist when we checked in. I had previously rang to check this information and was told breakfast 8-10am and check out 10.30am. I thought it worth another ask, as in previous hotels these were later, but the times were confirmed as above. I was surprised, therefore, to overhear the same receptionist mentioning a late check out to another guest as we were checking out. I queried this, and she confirmed both breakfast and check out were later, it being New Years Day. She said she had not been told about the change early enough, and apologised. After such an enjoyable evening, and a lovely breakfast, I was not in the mood to complain. However, the added half hour for breakfast and checkout would have meant we could spend a bit more time with my family, who had travelled from the Wirral to celebrate with us.

The hotel is not really in Chorley, being located to the south west and some distance, from Chorley. It is situated on a motorway service area which is only accessible from the northbound M6. Exit is onto the northbound M6 too. This means that you have a rather long trek along the motorway if you are intending to access local amenities - or CHORLEY. It's fine as a stopover if you are actually travelling north on the M6. The hotel required more information at check-in the most do these days and they insist on you registering a debit/credit card at reception for a room deposit. No money is taken unless you damage something but they have carte blanche to take money and argue with you later should they so choose. Very few (none in my recent experience) hotels take such measures these days. In the era of fraud and identity theft it is never ideal to hand over information of any kind. The room was very comfortable and well appointed but the shower was very slippery. There were notices in the bathroom but some effort to make the bathroom less hazardous would be more useful. Overall there are better alternatives locally that do not require card details and are much easier to get to by car, and indeed public transport or cycle. Go elsewhere for the same standard of accomodation without the hassle.

Stay away from this Hotel, like you would the plague, SERIOUSLY!!! I booked a 3 night stay at St Andrew's House Hotel, from the 7 February 2020 on wards, in an attempt to have a peaceful and comfortable stay, although, I couldn't have booked a worse Hotel!!!! I was kept awake all night long, from banging noises from above me and squeaky floor boards. Earlier in the evening when I heard noise, I was hoping it would settle down as the evening went on, however, it didn't, and so when it got to 3:38am I decided to call the emergency number for the Hotel, although, to my shocking surprise there was no answer and my call was not returned by either one of the Hoteliers I was only told when I had got to the Hotel that I was being put in a room were the shower was not working correctly. Phil said I would need to put the hot water on in the sink, then put the shower on and then I could turn the hot water off in the sink. I did this, however, the shower was not hot then, so I had to keep the hot water on in the sink, for the whole duration of my shower. The shower also kept coming on for 3 seconds and then went off again, repeatedly, until I had finished the shower. I asked for a refund for the 3 night stay, minus offering £10, to cover the laundry costs. Lorraine said in an off way, that it will cost them £15 for the laundry and extra for getting cleaners in, as well. She said she did not want to refund me for that night. I said I was not happy about this, I was very polite in how I handled the situation, but I felt that Lorraine had a very rude manner. Phil told Lorraine that he would give Lorraine the money back and he went ahead, to refund me back to my card. The refund receipt was dated the 8 February and to date (19 February), I have still not received a refund. I have tried to contact the hotel for the past 4 days, by calling them, but there has been no answer. I have left a voicemail, asking them to call me back, however, I have not been called back. I sent the Hotel an email on the 17 February and I have not received a response to this, as yet, My dad rung and spoke with Lorraine today at 12:54pm, to ask her nicely about my refund, she said that they had already refunded me. She said that she was out at the time, but that she would call my dad back when she got back to the Hotel, to which she never. I rung tonight and I spoke with Phil, he too, said that I had been refunded and I said I had not been. He also said that World Pay were the organisation that they use to deal with their refunds. I then contacted my bank and they said that it can take anything from 3-6 weeks to get a refund from them. I was very shocked at this, because Hotels usually refund customers directly, within anything up to, but not extending, 5 working days and the Hoteliers did not warn me of such a delay, either!!!! I rung the Hotel back again, as soon as Phil answered the phone, I heard Lorraine in the background, saying to Phil, to
