Royal Court Hotel & Spa Coventry

Not good. Reception is very nice but once you pass that, the corridors and rooms are very run down - the whole place needs some TLC. I had to move rooms due to an infestation of flies / flying ants in my bathroom. Stayed for two nights and room wasn’t cleaned overnight, asked why at reception and was told that rooms are only cleaned every 4 days!

Took 30mins to find me a room even though I booked online in advance. Was told they are full

Reasonably priced and within easy access of the CBS Arena. Breakfast was decent with plenty of hot food. On this occasion, I was in the older part of the hotel, which was quite a trek from reception. The room was adequate, with a decent shower. Ideally, a few power outlets close to the bed for phone chargers, etc., would have been useful. Only one useful socket in the bedroom meant unplugging either the TV or the kettle to charge any devices. The view from my room was of the unattractive bin store compound and the location where staff took smoking breaks. As a result of the proximity of the bins, the staff emptied their glass collection units into them, making a shatteringly loud noise. For some reason, this was done very early in the morning.

It was an okay property. There were weddings one after another which made the public areas (bathrooms, sitting area) a little messy.

My stay at this hotel so far: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars – A Charming Stay with Character A lovely olde worlde hotel that oozes charm and warmth, complemented by pleasant and attentive staff. The facilities are well-kept, and there are definite signs of a recent refurb, which adds a fresh touch while preserving its classic character. However, one can’t help but notice the very thin partition walls. Through them, one becomes intimately acquainted with the nocturnal habits of fellow guests—from robust ablutions to animated personal phone conversations. A group of women in a room quite a distance away could be heard cackling joyously well into the early hours, providing a sort of impromptu audio drama to lull one to sleep. Less entertaining was the gentleman holding court on his phone about a woman who, it seems, had flicked him off at the bar—she may well have been within earshot. Despite the unintended eavesdropping, this is a truly interesting and delightful place to stay. Full of character, quirks, and stories waiting to happen. It gets my five stars. 🤩

Good

I stayed in a single bedroom and they’ve given me a room in the old attached which is very dirty. I took a video of it and the bed was so small. I kept slipping out of it. The bedroom furniture was too close to the bed and I kept hitting myself. I got a few bruises. I’m not sure how the newer building the conference side is but the older building is absolutely terrible. The breakfast was not nice like honestly the taste was really bad.

Receptionist was very abrupt - no eye contact - monotone . Too much effort to tell me where my room was , or the direction to the restaurant. Advertised a carvery - piece of pork , potato croquettes, peas and sweetcorn with brown water for gravy .getting served at the bar was a chore . Breakfast staff miserable and rude .

Hotel was large Grand in its appearance. Staff friendly.
