Excellent value for money and very friendly and efficient staff

No lifts so anyone with mobility issues would need to request lower floors.The room was stuffy and a little "smelly" on arrival We were unable to have window open during the night due to proximety of major road.

Good basic clean accommodation with restaurant facilities and friendly staff.

Travelling as a group little facilities for meeting up other than restaurant. Changing date of booking not quite as easy as making the original internet booking.

Hotel was easy to find from the A1, Staff were friendly and helpful.
Check in was very quick.
The website advised no parking facilities, but there was plenty of space to park.
Awful smell in room as soon as we arrived, but it didn't go away. The room was clean though.
We were staying in the area to attend a wedding, but friends arriving on the day weren't allowed to check in before 2pm and no allowances were made for this as a one off.
(97577272)

Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Shower was fantastic, could have done with more shampoo.

Poor lighting in the room, bathroom light didn't work all the time / faulty switch, bedroom seemed to be clean but had an awful smell.

I thought the accommodation was very good value for money.

The food in the restaurant was slightly disappointing - the tomato sauce with the pasta was tasteless which was disappointing.

No problems apart from having to go to reception every evening on return to my room to find that the key code did not work and had to be reset, this was very frustrating. Also leaving at 5.45am in the morning had to go back to the bedroom to ring porter after ringing at the door in reception to hand in keys.

There was no decent seating for the bar area. It's purely for diners.
Resorted to going to the near by Toby restaurant which had much better seating and the drink prices considerably cheaper.
The staff were courteous and always helpful.
(3305514630)

The restaurant was fine. The room was basic but OK.

The room smelt badly of stale smoke, although we requested a non-smokers room.

Bearing in mind we only stayed one night in this hotel our stay was very pleasant.
Staff on reception were very friendly.
This is the first hotel we have stayed in where upon we were not disturbed by other hotel guests during the night and therefore had a good nights sleep on a lovely king size bed.
The room was very clean and tidy and had good facilities ( didnt like brand of coffee ) LOL.
The website was very imformative as regards what facilities were available on arrival.
Good car parking facilities.
We would have no problem using this hotel again and have already recommended it to a friend.
Yours sincerly.

The staffs seemed to be nice and helpful. The room was different from other Companile hotel I stayed in Birimingham (which was bit better), not that I expected every Companile hotels to be exactly same. Was not pleased to find some dust on floor. So overall I feel my stay was quite good and I have experience alot worse.

floor was not clear properly as I found dust on my clothes when I put them on floor.
