- Anthonia (10/5): Value for money and good location -
- Anthonia (10/5): Nice and cozy. Value for money and good location - .
- Masłowski (1/5): -
- Alison (4/5): -
- Emad (10/5): - Immaculately clean. Nothing.
- Fortunate (10/5): - Place is neat and tidy and in the city centre None
- Alison (9/5): Great stay and location - Clean Was a little chilli in the mornings
- Alison (5/5): Cold, noisy room felt hungover from discomfort. - Location is great The room I had was cold in the evening/night and morning. The room is an extension that backs on to kitchen so I could hear phone conversations the microwave, kettle in constant operation and kitchen door banging. The bedroom is in an inappropriate location between kitchen and dinning room the mattress is too soft. The heating kept going off so room was cold
- Lukasz (9/5): Best value for the money - Very small but your own bathroom. Nice telly. Microwave and fridge in the room, electric kettle. Very big and comfortable shared dining area. The telly was on the side wall to your left, not straight ahead from your bed, so I had to lie on my side to watch the telly, which I don't like.
- Mukhange (7/5): - Good location and cleanliness Bed wasn't very comfortable
- Clodagh (6/5): Nice room but stolen food so not a great feel overall - Lovely light and bright room. My food was taken multiple times from the shared spaces, didn’t feel safe.
- Nancy (6/5): It was alright - I like the location of it It was too hot inside and I couldn’t open the window and there was no fan too
- Alison (7/5): Lovely first time stay in Northampton - The property is in a really nice location, stroll away from the town centre. Access could be improved there are various access mechanisms at the front door i.e key safe, etc which confused gaining access, but was able to get clarity by messaging . Bed isn’t as described in picture and for some reason there was two beds in the room when the picture shows one, this impacted on ability to do yoga in my room, as there wasn’t enough space. There was no floor mat for the shower and the shower could do with attention as there is a board which keeps falling out . Also person who cleaned the room left other peoples items wash cloths and sponges etc on top of Waldrobe and in Waldrobe. Other than this the room was comfortable and the property is heated to a good temperature.
- Alan (9/5): Excellent value for money. - Lovely clean and well presented property. Very good value for money. Central location. Close to the town centre. I will return when next in Northampton. Nothing. All good.
- Khanapod (9/5): -
- Khanapod (3/5): Good place for a night but not a long stay - Room and area is good it’s a good place to say and I been booking this place Even tho they say no party’s or smoking there are party in the property and lots of guy smoking they party until late at night and honestly it’s a let day as no one is here to control this I would like to recommend this place but I can’t unless this has been fix
- IAN (7/5): Quite comfortable fir a few weeks - Good location new town centre, room was warm Close to the main road so could be quite noisy. Plus the facilities available are shared between the rooms ie. Cooker, washer, fridge etc. The ad doesn't make this clear
- Sanju (10/5): -
- ALESSANDRO (6/5): - The room is pretty and well decorated. There's a nice big kitchen for the guests. Location is excellent, at walking distance to the centre and supermarket. Price was reasonable. You may be caught by the nice appearance of the place. But soon you'll notice a few drawbacks. The most important is the mattress; I had to sleep on top of the duvet not to feel the springs in my back. Also, even though my room was facing the back, there was a constant noise (perhaps some ventilation or heating system) all night long. It may be ok for most people, but probably not for light sleepers. I wrote to the staff about it, but didn't get a reply.
FInally, it was very difficult to open and close the curtains, unless you are 2m tall. The others have to stand on top of the chair, which is wheeled, so not really handy.
- Lewis (5/5): It was clean but very uncomfortable - all facilites were clean, easy access because no key needed, free wifi, in a good location The bed was really uncomfortable, the entire thing leant to one side. Plus the springs weren't that good either.
The chair also did the same thing, it was obvious they either hadnt checked these things or did not care.
Also the AI generated photos in the room just gave it a cheap feel, would've been an easy change to make the place feel a bit nicer
- Nancy (5/5): - It was at a good location It was not clean there were dirt on the bed and on the window
- Nancy (9/5): - Good location
Clean environment NA
- Kozlovs (5/5): - Location Weardrobe does not close completely as the floor is not straight, also no hangers in the weardrobe. Mess in the lounge room after someone's dinner. Possible to find better for this money.!
- Santoshi (8/5): -
- Nilushika Weerasinghe (10/5): Worth for the money. Room was spotless with all the facilities -
- Joy (8/5): Secure - Worried i may have left a personal item there N/A
- Ifesinachi (10/5): -
- vigil (10/5): - Nice,peaceful and clean I like all
- Khanapod (6/5): -
- Scott (5/5): Broken bed fram - Very affordable in central location of Northampton Bed frame was broken had to sleep on floor with matress
- Daisy (4/5): Cheap but poor communication and standards - It was clean and in a good location The door codes were not secure. The microwave in my room did not work. There was no fire escape or route, nor extinguishers in my room
- Tracey (1/5): Exceptionally poor service - Booked for my son for 5 nights. The original.room had been double booked, so was told to wait in the communal area for over 30 minutes. Was then given a second room, and on entering, there was a guest already stsying in this second room. So mwssaged the prorietor again, and no response, so complaint made to Booking.com
- James (5/5): -
- Gabriel (9/5): -
- Gabriel (9/5): - Everything was 👍
- Michael (3/5): It's disappointing and poor - The location The room was underwhelming and cramped.
The door lock was broken, meaning I had to take all valuables with me when going out. It took until 9 pm. on the 5th day of my stay to be repaired. I had a stranger enter my room whilst I was in a state of undress. They did not knock,, it seemed that they were delivering a Boots order for a guest. This made me uneasy and with security concerns. The bed had no headboard and moved easily with the result of the pillows slipping off into the gap between the walls. The .microwave in my room was broken.
I never say the host or staff. I reported my concerns and unease to the owners,saying I feel some refund would be appropriate. The response was I had a valid argument, and they would discuss and report their decision back to me. I was assured that they would make Renaissance club and Booking.com aware of the situation, and I did not need to do so.Today as of 8 am, I have heard nothing further. That is why I entered poor as a stay.
.
- prashant (2/5): It was very disappointing after travelling for a long distance to come there. - Cleanliness
And the maintenance was very poor even on sending message in the WhatsApp’s group no one is replying.
The bathroom was too small
And water was folded everywhere outside.
The silicons paste of this bathroom wasn’t good and even on telling these people the issues about the water leaking out, they just tell you tomorrow they will come and repair it but I was kept on waiting.
- Khanapod (8/5): Amazing easy and relaxing - Stay was amazing very close to town and the university the owner is also very nice helping me with all my problems more that there is a microwave and washer good for long stay and the room is nice to only issue for me was that the bed was to soft but if it was not for that I will recommend staying here The bed was to soft for me
- Jack (4/5): Avoid, customer service was shocking - I called ahead once arriving at Gatwick airport and asked to pay for an early check in. I was on hold for around 20 minutes before getting through. I spoke with a gentlemen who's English was not great. He said I could arrive a little earlier and it was no problem - no need to pay. Once arriving at the property the code he gave me didn't work.
I booked into another hotel at my expense.
I then messaged them via the app and they were extremely rude and passive agreesvie
- Seca (9/5): -
- Andrene (9/5): Blossom is great value and good standards. - Location, cleanliness and facilities .
Fridge and microwave, kettle in room.
Also full kitchen facilities downstairs.
It was quiet and access was easy. No parking
- victoria (5/5): Magnolia Room with Multiple Faults & Eating in Rooms Prohibited - Although on a busy noisy road the location is perfect for access to the town centre and the hospital. The room is spotless. I was pleased that there was a fan as the window would not stay open. I was genuinely surprised at the ratings for Blossom Retreat unless my room was markedly worse.
1. I received a scald on my shoulder from boiling water from the electric shower which with the temperature turned to warm or mid-way varied between freezing cold water and literally scalding or boiling water. I have had to apply burn cream to my skin.
2. There are no mirrors in the room making getting ready in a morning difficult.
3. The window catch is broken so that it will not stay open to provide a gap of air without being propped with a wooden fork that was left on the sil for this use and a notice saying the window had to be open to allow shower steam escape.
4. The room is advertised as a suite with a kitchen and contains a sink, fridge and microwave and washing up liquid. The extensive house rules on the door stipulate no food must be eaten in the room and only water must be consumed anywhere else than the downstairs kitchen which appears highly contradictory.
5. The towel rail was half hanging from the wall which I reported immediately and was pleased to receive an acknowledgement it would be fixed although this was not done during my stay as there are no staff on the promises. I balanced a toilet roll under it to stop it falling off completely.
6. The room is very very hot as it is in the attic and the window would not stay open more than a wooden fork's length although there is a fan which helps.
7. No hangers in wardrobe
- Nancy (8/5): Nice - The place was neat and nice I like the fact they have fridge and microwave It was a little bit cold because couldn’t close windows fully

- faith (10/5): - "I was thoroughly pleased with the location, which was not only clean and well-maintained but also provided a serene atmosphere, thanks to the quiet rooms. The overall ambiance was really something special
- RICHARD MATTHEW (7/5): -
- Julián Ignacio (3/5): Muy caro, la calidad del colchón pésima, el servicio inexistente. - :/ La calidad del colchón era muy mala, más si uno tiene en cuenta el precio. Si se van a aprovechar de la carrera en SILVERSTONE para aumentar los precios, por lo menos den un mejor servicio.
Toda la comunicación automatizada, el WhatsApp de emergencia no funciona, no tienen lugar donde dejar guardados los bolsos cuando uno necesita dejarla unas horas luego del Check out.
- Sexylatin (10/5): - Habitación amplia. Limpia y todo muy organizado . Me gustó y si volvería aquí . Hacía mucho calor
- Umeoguaju (5/5): Passable - The bed was not comfortable and the Television volume was not working. Poor ventilation
- Andy (8/5): Very good - Very clean facility's were all there and more Bed mattress were very poor and cheap
- Lodgie (5/5): Passable - Very noisy. You could hear everything going off and I also got someone from another room knocking on my door at 6.45 to ask me to help them use the washer (very inconsiderate)
- Rose-marie (8/5): Overall good would stay again - Good location. Very pretty. Quite clean I would stay there again. The kitchen and common areas were nice. Could have been slightly cleaner.
- Giraud (8/5): Very good -
- Anirudh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natalia (8/5): Very good -
- Kasippillai (10/5): Excellent - No any interupption ,calm and quet place Nothing
- Simon (9/5): Superb - Clean and has almost everything that I required. Large TV, bed was pretty comfy. The sink in the bathroom is tiny, the shower is not very powerful and another pillow would be great.
- John (10/5): excellent - very clean, price was right great location near shops restaurants pay for parking 1 min walk good setup could have had more pillows but otherwise excellent, I work away and if I could find this type of accommodation at this price, I would be happy
- Kusam (8/5): I was good and property was very clean but during night time my room was near to the street and it was very noisy at 12 - .. :
- Janaina (7/5): Pleasant place. -
- Sandra (3/5): AVOID AVOID AVOID ALL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AVOID - Locality and that I stayed there before I arrived to a familiar place I stayed in before and found a damaged bed which I had to use a duvet to prop it up and when I complained I have been accused of breaking a bed base. A cheap bed base from the local furniture store. As a professional who works away a lot I always have to have comfort and like to stay in comfortable nice places, as I said I stayed before and there was no issues. I mention the concern to the company and immediately I have been accused of breaking a bed base so stating I’m “obese” or even “careless”. As a matter of fact the way I have been spoken to is absolutely disgusting and threatened to seek recovery for damages. As a matter of fact this was the attitude I received via WA.
- Dennison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dennison (9/5): Superb -
- Jessie (10/5): The best customer service - The customer service is gold standard.
They reached out during my stay to ensure I had everything I needed.
A mini fridge, kettle and microwave is provided in your room. They request you to store food in your room and prepare it in the HUGE share kitchen. This is a great idea because it keeps your food safe.
I really like the electronic code access to the front door and bedroom. When I had issues unlocking my door on the first day, customer service via WhatsApp was extremely prompt and efficient. The issue was resolved within ten minutes.
Wifi worked perfectly and was very fast. My room was clean and confortable with the flower theme a nice addition.
There is a washer/dryer (no charge and supply your own detergent) and a large ironing board.
- Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Scott (1/5): Bad -
- Dennison (9/5): Superb - It helped waiting to get a flat thank you.
- Subramanian (10/5): Great stay, near to city cey - Kitchen is equipped with all the needed stuff and cozy studio Washbasin is like miniature, couldn't even wash my hand.
- Dennison (9/5): Superb - But it's a great place and excellent value.
