Hotels near Christ Church in Rugby

I surprised my wife for her birthday by booking us into a 1920s murder mystery in this beautiful Victorian Gothic hotel. The overall experience was worth doing but the hotel 's amenities... weren't great. Like the previous reviewer, we also had issues with power in our room (Room 5). Fortunately no flashing bulbs, but no power at all. Even the lights in our end of the corridor were out and it's really odd that the staff supposedly hadn't noticed this until now. They eventually gave us an extra lamp, but there was no opportunity to move rooms nor was any other kind of compensation offered. Besides the lighting situation, the room looked tired and in need of some work doing: flaking skirting boards, broken curtain holders and tile cracks were all included - the latter were in the bathroom, with a big one in the bath area, which will become a BIG problem in the future if it's not fixed soon. But also, the carpet hadn't been hoovered as we found loose screws on the floor. I also noticed dead spiders in the downstairs Gents, so it seems the hotel takes shortcuts with their cleaning schedule. The bar was alright, and the bar staff were quick and attentive. Great choice of wines and spirits, but not much of a beer selection (mass-produced lagers and bottles of Doom Bar basically). The evening meal was also good overall, especially the cheesecake. The service was lacking though - all drinks orders involved us having to get up and visit the bar, which is difficult during a murder mystery, so I missed some bits. There was only one small jug of water brought to the table for all 10 of us and it was never refilled. The bread that came with the soup was stale. The main course took a while to come out, and it had blatantly been kept on the gantry for ages as the vegetables looked scorched. The dessert then took over half an hour to come out, and by the time they were serving coffee the murder mystery was already over. Breakfast-wise, service was almost non-existent. The full English was pretty average but at least it was hot, and they brought out extra eggs. There were no glasses or mugs anywhere and every single table was dirty. In the end I had to clear some plates away just to sit down and eat. Cutlery was just piled up on a tray by the TV, and there were no napkins. No one served coffee either, and when we went to get some ourselves the coffee was cheap instant coffee and really watered down. But the icing on the cake (which in a way was kind of funny), was making coffee in the room. As the kettle boiled, the steam set off the fire alarm! What's stranger is the first time round that didn't happen! So yeah, nice building from the outside, but the inside really needs work.

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 |

Stayed here at the weekend with friends; lovely room, enjoyed the evening meal and a fab breakfast. Would recommend. The only downside was that there is a service charge payable on all drinks that you are not notified of. We queried our bar bill as it didn’t make sense and was told by a member of staff that on all purchases a 10% charge is payable. There is no signs up around the bar area notifying you of this. We were told that the staff are not allowed to tell you about this. To me that seems fraudulent. Surely you can’t be charged for something that you don’t know about every time you go up to the bar and purchase a drink? Not sure if the staff get this money or the company. If this is company policy are they breaking the law by not notifying you of this? Please be wary.

Yes, it is very worn and dated but it does have a retro 70's charm and provides very good value. Reception was polite and professional but could have been more supportive. We had a issue as our hotel booking site had not paid the hotel. The receptionist ask us to phone them to solve the issue. At better hotels, the reception would have offered to do provide this service. A lack of training? The location is excellent being in the centre of the city, across from the bus station and the transport museum. The views of the ruins of the old in the background and new in the foreground among other ancient and contemporary buildings is wonderful from the rooms at the rear of the hotel are wonderful. The balcony that some of the rooms to the rear have would be a very pleasant place to relax in good weather. The beds are very large and reasonably comfortable with clean beading. The carpet of our room was new, and others were being replaced as we were there. The state of the decor was adequate and past ready for a make-over. However, for the price and location, it was acceptable. The breakfast, which was included, was a pleasant surprise. The buffet breakfast room had a was cosy feel, there was a good selection of cereals, preserved fruits and yogurt. The full English breakfast was very well prepared and of good quality ingredients. The tea and coffee were also of a good standard. Service was professional and efficient, clearly aiming to provide their clients with a very pleasant start to their day.

It is a motorway hotel so I didn’t expect much. But actually it was a pleasant stay with a nice quiet room and very pleasant reception staff. There are a few pubs locally that do decent food and of course there are the motorway service station outlets a short walk away. Better than expected.

Absolutely wonderful stay. Have been here several times and as always the service and hotel was perfect. Beverley as always was a joy, helpful, friendly and an absolute laugh. Other front of house were lovely too! The rooms are clean and well maintained and the hotel also has the benefit of a pool which is great for the kids. Always stay here when I’m Coventry (unless fully booked or too expensive) and will recommend the hotel to all.

Visited a few of the pubs in Lutterworth during our brief stay. This was the best of the bunch . Called in after dinner on Tuesday 22/6 and was served by a really friendly guy (sorry, forgot name but it was Jack or Jane or similar maybe). He was very chatty and helpful and a credit to himself and the establishment. Best selection of ales, gins and scotch in the town without a doubt. Lovely outside space too. Wish it hadn't been our last night when we found it!

Just disappointed. We booked a two night stay as we were visiting Coventry radio one big weekend and was cheaper than staying in Coventry. The worst experience as a group of people that had been a the festival got back and we’re being so loud and noisy. Banging on doors from 12am till 7.30 am the next morning. At one point my partner actually got up and told them to shut up. Was quiet for all of 5 mins. As a result of this discretion we got no sleep. Completly unacceptable and I felt more should have been done to kick these people out/call the police as it was not fair on other guests staying at the hotel. Another lady also complained the same time as we did at reception. The man on reception did all he could, offered us breakfast and a free drink but to be honest I felt it was worth a refund due to the constant distribution. The second night it was a lot better, but it tainted our stay. Personally, it’s one of the most depressing hotels I’ve visited. It’s on an industrial estate, decor is dated, breakfast wasn’t great and they’d ran out of basically most evening food apart from meat pizzas. Not one to visit unless it’s a necessity. Service was okay though.
