    Holiday Inn Hotel Kenilworth

    My room was bright, the bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was quiet, and the AC worked…read morevery well (although it made some strange sounds). It is only a three mile Uber or bus ride to the university and there are quite a few nearby restaurants. A major complaint is serious lack of outlets in the room, and none near the bed. The walls in the hallway look terrible and needed repainting a long time ago. I had a light dinner (Mezze plane) in the restaurant and it was not very good.

    I'm glady I stayed at this hotel - very clean and nicely decorated…read more Free breakfast with great hot & cold selection. There were signs for fitness center, but there weren't. If you are a runner, there are prenty of great joggin paths (You may want to run by the castle...great XC course!) This location is very convinient to visit the old castle, downtown kenilworth, or even Coventry (I'm glad we didn't stay in Coventry...people warned us about it, and my colleague wasn't too happy with the Holiday inn express there...) I didn't care for Starbucks, but oh well, it's convinient. Good wifi connection, TV was brand new flat screen. Cofee maker and free frat bread (yeehaa) Front desk was hit and miss - one guy was SUPER nice, drawing map and telling us where to go, etc. The other lady was...well, kinda lame. Compare to the "original (reads as USA)" Holiday inn, this location is probably better in many ways, good service and very updated rooms.

    Now I spent two nights at this hotel and I have to say as I checked in quite late on the first…read morenight I did wonder if it was a night club as opposed to a hotel. The guy on reception had a very good check in patter, which I am not sure was just for my amusement or his! The room was decent they do offer upgrades to the upper deck where you get access to sky movies and sports. This was of no interest to me as I was only there to sleep. The room I had was of a good standard, clean and tidy, I was on the first floor with a view of a flat roof!! The staff in the hotel were very helpful and I do believe whatever request you may have they will endeavour to accommodate it. Hence I have given the hotel a 4 star rating. The bar does resemble one you would find in a night club and it was quite loud, the drinks weren't night club priced which was good. From the posters in the bar they do have specific events throughout the year some are comedy some are tribute bands. They have a good pool and gym in the hotel so if you want a dip in the morning it is more then adequate for that purpose, they also have an onside gym which was of a decent standard. There was a wedding party there on the Saturday night which is to be expect at a hotel the wedding party was one of the better behaved ones I have witnessed however when I went up to my room I could hear the music as if I was in the party!!! This did keep me awake for a bit but I think it all stopped around the 1am mark. The breakfast was the standard fare of fried food cereal and fruit, I cannot comment on the standard of the rest of their food menu as I never sampled it. If you are in Coventry and need somewhere to stay you could do worse than here.

    Extremely Disappointing Stay!…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but our stay at Village Hotel Coventry was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The first surprise was that guests are charged £7.50 per day for parking and £5 per day to use the gym. I have stayed at many hotels where these facilities are included for paying guests, so this was unexpected. During our stay there was an extreme heatwave. For the first week, we were unable to open our room window because scaffolding outside the hotel was blocking it. The room became extremely hot and uncomfortable. I asked reception for a fan but was told they had none available, so I had to go out and buy my own. I also requested additional coat hangers and was told they did not know if any were available. No one followed up. The room service experience was also very disappointing. The information in the room stated that room service delivery was free, but there was no clear ordering code or instructions. I had to go to the bar to place the order. On the first evening, I arrived at approximately 9:15 pm, despite the advertised last food order time being 9:30 pm, and was told the kitchen was already closed. We tried again the following evening and were then told there was a £3.50 room service surcharge. One of the items we paid for was missing from the order, and when I reported it, I was told the kitchen was closed and nothing could be done. Due to the overall experience, we decided to leave early and move to another hotel. At reception, I was told that the unused nights could not be refunded. They also said they would look into refunding the gym and parking charges, but those refunds have not been processed. Overall, this stay fell far below expectations. The lack of clear communication, unexpected additional charges, poor service, and lack of resolution made this a very frustrating experience. We will not be staying at Village Hotel Coventry again.

    Date of stay: 10-AUG to 12-AUG-2025, Deluxe Family Room, 2 adults. Pleasantly surprised by the…read moresuper spacious parking lot, lovely hotel lobby, and large size of our room. My impression (based on the upscale appearance of the lobby) was that there was bellman service available to assist with luggage, however that was not the case. There were luggage carts available although the carpeted hallway floors were difficult to navigate. There was a wedding reception in progress when we checked in on Sunday afternoon so wait staff was scattered around and easy to find. We had a bite to eat in their small indoor cafe for dinner since the outdoor deck tables were being utilized by wedding guests and we weren't familiar with the area. Room was clean, beds were comfortable, bathroom was very spacious. Unfortunately the small refrigerator in our room was NOT working. The next morning we went back to the cafe for brunch (it was approximately 10:30am) and there were NO servers anywhere! I waited approximately 15 min and I even walked over to the Lobby to ask for assistance. I was shocked and disappointed by this lack of standard customer service! We eventually got served but the menu for brunch didn't exactly contain a wide or balanced assortment. My husband realized he left a small metal iPhone stand on the table after he finished eating, but when he spoke to the lobby staff when we checked out, they said no one turned it in. We did not have time to utilize the spa or swimming pool or gym equipment, so I can't attest to the quality of those amenities.

    Lucy did a very good job with the spa treatment! She did a facial and a body scrub and my skin…read morelooks so good. She also did a quick and thorough job with the leg wax. The pool and sauna area is very pretty too.

    Abbey Guest House - The Abbey Guest House Hotel, Kenilworth

    Abbey Guest House

    We visit Kenilworth fairly regularly as a very good friend lives here. We sometimes stay with her,…read morebut on the odd occasion when we don't, we like to vary the local B&B's we stay-in. We stayed at Ferndale House 12mths ago and really liked it. Clean, friendly welcome, great cooked breakfasts and reasonably priced. Now, all of the above also apply to The Abbey Guest House 'Hotel' (not quite sure where the 'Hotel' reference comes from on the sign outside as this is definitely, in nice way, a cosy 'B&B!'), but there just seemed to be something missing. The afternoon tea we were welcomed with from Darren was truly, very appreciated (tea made in the pot and a tasty range of biscuits including an orange club - when was the last time you ate a club biscuit?!) and gave us a great first impression, but somehow this B&B lacks the warmth and atmosphere of 'The Ferndale' around the corner. Our twin and single rooms were cosy, clean and comfortable with firm mattresses and some lovely touches with throws and cushions, but a couple of small attentions to detail were missing; mis-matching decor and soft furnishings work well if done properly, although all rooms were attractive, a good eye for bringing everything together was somewhat missing, cheap toilet paper in tired, plastic dispensers in the en-suite brought home memories of shiny, cheap paper in my high school toilets! Brown limescale/mildew build-up around the shower and tiles was unfortunate. Both areas are very easily fixable and if dealt with, would have drawn our attention to the better aspects of the Abbey Guest House, which made for a comfortable stay. The iPod docking station built into the flat screen TV in our room was inspired for example and the freshly cooked breakfasts with (award winning!) sausages and bacon supplied by a local butcher were a real treat and made us feel good for eating locally sourced ingredients. Homemade blueberry jam put other B&Bs to shame with their plastic squares of marmalade and Robinsons jam. Toast and fruit-filled jam to follow a good cooked brekkie was definitely a winner! The fact this B&B is so central and only steps away from the High St make it very convenient for a night out in town, just maybe pick-up your own softer loo paper from Waitrose over the road before checking in!
