Guest Reviews
- Gary (8/5): - Short stay 1 night business stopover
- Stevie (8/5): - If im working in the area will stay good price and bacon butty in the morning gorgeous. The staff said hello again and it had been 2 years since id worked in that area
- stan (8/5): - Great Service
- Derrick (8/5): Better than expected when I got to my room - The hotel was dated but the room was very clean and comfortable The room looked to have been updated quite recently
- Helen (8/5): - The owners are delightful. Value for the price was excellent. Bedroom newly refurbished and very comfortable
- Verified traveler (6/5): Comfortable budget stay - Budget hotel and the building is pretty dated, but the room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was good.
- Louise (10/5): Fantastic stay - Very accommodating, as i knew i wouldn't be at the hotel until almost 10pm, fantastic customer service, no issues, bed was so comfortable i slept like a log And i will probably be using them again soon
- Alison (10/5): This was perfect for our needs - This was perfect for our needs. An in-expensive, comfortable room, that has toiletries, tea/coffee making facilities and a small TV. Parking was free and within hotel grounds. Should you want to walk into Wellingborough town centre you could do so within 5-10 minutes.
- Wade (10/5): - Don't let initial looks deceive you, this was a pleasant surprise and experience. Friendly staff, very comfortable bed, clean linen and towels, and a hearty, well needed buffet breakfast the next morning.
- Susanne (8/5): - Bedding and bathroom very clean; tea/coffee/biscuits and toiletries provided, but carpet in room was obviously old and dirty. Parking was good and well lit, hotel was quiet, except that I was wakened by someone knocking on my door at 1.30am. I did not answer but after a few minutes I heard knocking further away and voices so I assume that someone mistook the room. However, as a lone woman I was not happy to be disturbed in the night.
- Jeff (8/5): - I stay at the Columbia as it’s convenient for our Wellingborough office and close to two supermarkets. It’s good value for money, has (limited) on site parking and a decent standard internet.
- Haidee (10/5): - A warm welcome and clear communication. Very helpful friendly family run hotel. The hotel looks like it is slowly beind developed, so a bit dated in areas but clean, comfortable with easy parking. I had their chicken curry for dinner, really tasty. A great stay, I will definitely use again and llok forward to watch the transformation.
- Mary-Anne (6/5): - Room was clean and Tidy - but a little out dated
- Jeff (8/5): Good value business hotel - Good value hotel for business purpose. Walking distance to supermarket and fast-food outlets. Free WiFi and on site parking.
- Andrew (8/5): Old fashioned and spotless - An old fashioned hotel, with clashing decor. Probably the cleanest hotel I have every stayed in, just spotless. Friendly staff, huge breakfast.
- Mathew (10/5): - Friendly staff, nice room
- Stacy (6/5): - It was more of a budget room- expensive for a room That’s very basis and old fashioned Tree he front door has a gap underneath so had to put coats under the gap
- Charles (8/5): Good cheap hotel - Good cheap hotel. A bit tired looking in places but clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking, good WiFi, usual tea/coffee/ biscuits which were topped up every day, friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom with a walk in shower which I much prefer to a bath. The only issue for me was there was no desk/table to work at but laptops are called laptops for a reason! Room was cleaned and bed made up for me every day which a lot of hotels don’t do these days.
- Sara (6/5): - Chose this property as close to restaurant we were attending for a surprise birthday celebration....was cheap in price so did not expect too much ...location is good just needs redecoration ad very tired .
- Mr Samuel (8/5): - Not bad, was good
- Amie (10/5): - This proprty does feel a bit tired and dated. We stayed whilst visiting santa pod raceway. 15 minuets from the track. The hosts were so friendly and accomodating. We had a family room which was perfect. Spotlessly clean including the bathroom and beds comfy. Tea coffee and toiletries in the room. Breakfast was extra but wow! What a great breakfast and im picky for quality 10/10. Overall good value and just what we needed. Should we ever use a hotel again whilst visiting santa pod we would definitely stay again.
- Jacqueline (8/5): Great value for money - and very quiet! - This large hotel was SO friendly and accommodating. Superb freshly cooked breakfasts and extremely comfortable and quiet room. Had the feel of a very personal B&B rather than a large hotel. Great value for money - definitely would stay again if we're in the area. Thank you for your welcome and your hospitality.
- Gemma (10/5): Definitely coming back - Great place ideal for what we need for 1 night food was great
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable stay. - Comfortable stay. Good breakfast.
- Maarion (4/5): - Where to start. It's dire. There's graffiti on the outside wall. I arrived in the afternoon, checked in, got a little nap and a shower before going out for the evening. Upon my return, the smell of weed in the corridor was overwhelming. The mattress wasn't supportive enough and a single quilt is not sufficient for an adult in a single bed. I couldn't reach the bathroom window to close it. The decor and fittings ate we overdue replacement. Breakfast finished at 9am. Really?? My event started at 9am, and I was back in hotel by 10am. So, even if I wanted a relaxing weekend breakfast , no chance. I took photos of the lampshade and kettle, both disgusting.
- ciaran (10/5): Great stay - Great stay, clean room, quiet stay.
- katie (10/5): - Very helpful and polite staff
- Mike (6/5): - The property was tired and very dated with no expense given for the exterior and the interior looking like the set for Crossroads (one for the kids there). The 3 main components of any stay for me were good though. This was the bed, the shower and breakfast the next morning. On site parking was quite limited meaning my car was parked on the road overnight. The staff were very courteous and accommodating. Overall I was afforded a good night's sleep with a good start to the following day but would rather it be in a different setting.
- Dave (8/5): Business Trip - Dated Hotel, but very good service.
- Kam (6/5): Not worth the cost. - Hotel is a bit run down. The room smells funny, kind of drainy, like the toilet is blocked or something. The floor wasn't particularly clean, had bits of debris on the carpet. Only reason to stay in this one was the hotel I stayed in the night before had no vacancies, similar old building but was cleaner and 60% of the price.
- Arnfinn (8/5): Would come back - Central location; helpfull staff; ok room!
- Dave (10/5): Monthly trip - Cheerful hotel, dated but very good service
- Verified traveler (8/5): Ignore first impressions - From the outside this hotel isn't paticularly pleasing on the eye, and inside the hotel is a little dated. However, see past that and yiu will have a very enjoyable stay. This is perhaps the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in and everything in the room yet, which I find often isn't the case, even with 5 star hotels. The breakfast was perhaps one of the best, if not the best I've ever had in a hotel. And when I thanked the owner she confirmed that all the food is cooked fresh fro scratch. The husband and wife owners were vert helpful and even opened the bar 2 hours early just to me. Yes the decor is a little dated and the outside could do with sprucing up, but the service, cleanlinesd and breakfast were 5 star
- David (8/5): Good value stay - A decent little place to stay, which I will use again. The owner was was friendly and helpful. Perhaps it's not the most luxurious place I've ever used, but very good value for money.
- Peter (6/5): - Hotel was dated but bed was very comfy room was clean and warm , my room overlooked the carpark and I had a quite nights sleep , the car park is well lit
- Dan (4/5): Cold and manky - Lovely lady on reception. Room was cold - a 0 degree night and the window was open a bit! Radiator on low struggled to heat room, spent the evening with a hat on. Heating obviously went off in the night as was stone cold in morning. Didn’t want to move. Jacket and hat whilst doing morning emails. Also blood (possibly clean but stained) on duvet. Hairs on wall in bathroom. Basic place, not worth the money or bother
- Adrian (6/5): - Not as the photos show think it’s more a home than a business
- Georgia (10/5): Lovely family run hotel. - Really lovely family run hotel. They couldn’t have been more helpful. Definitely be back.
- Graeme (10/5): Clean & Friendly ( again ). Great spot. - Second visit - friendly, clean & welcoming with a carpark for a big van. Bar was open for a beer after a long day. It's all a weary traveller needs. Nice family run operation.
- Kenneth (8/5): - Nice and quiet place and easy to access
- James (10/5): Value for money - Check in was speedy the lady on reception was very friendly and helpful .plenty parking spaces short walk to reception. Rooms are basic but for the price there adequate if ypu want 5 star pay for 5 star . Food was ok cooked fresh by the owners same with breakfast. Would stay again very friendly people
- Graeme (10/5): Great place to stay. - Great food, lovely family run business. Comfortable room.
- robert (8/5): Disappointing - Inside & out was dated and needed TLC. Most disappointing was there were alot of benefits people staying in hotel. So drunk scruffy, dirty and begging for cigarettes
- Allan (8/5): - A bit in need of a revamp however lovely staff and a good breakfast
- Alan (6/5): - Family room with 3 single beds. Room cramped. New radiator, but wall behind it had not been repaired from previous one.
- Yvonne (8/5): Good hotel - This hotel was only let down by the exterior as the interior was clean, just dated and the staff were very lovely
- Verified traveler (2/5): Woeful - Seemed like a refuge for drug addicts and homeless. Police were called, constantly being awoke in the middle of the night by banging and shouting
- Verified traveler (2/5): Awful experience - Staff seemed friendly and nice upon arrival that was the only good thing about the stay We had mould on the walls above the bed some sort of substance on the walls bathroom was not clean and neither was the drawers. Tried to explain to the lady who was cleaning rooms and she just gestured go away would not recommend to anyone. More like a hostel than hotel.
- Derek (8/5): A satisfactory visit - We were keeping an appointment and visiting friends and family. The Columbia was in a good position for this. It was exceptionally clean. The bathroom seemed to have been recently updated. The towels and bedlinen were really good. There was one chair at the desk/dressing table which was worn but adequate. The people running it were very helpful, providing extra milk when requested. We went out for long lunches but spent a lot of time in the room and had a pleasant stay.
- E (8/5): - We had a lovely stay at the Columbia ,the hotel was located well for what we needed & room was clean &!tidy the only complaint I would say was the breakfast finished at 9 we could of done with finishing at 10 but apart from that it was nice 👌
- Oluwaseun (2/5): - This hotel is dingy, smelly, condensation on the window, stain on bedding. Won't recommend. Terrible experience
- Mark (4/5): - Wouldn't stay here again unless I was desperate
- Mark (10/5): Superb clean warm calm peaceful atmosphere - Super. 1st class hotel, loveliest bath shower. A first for me away from the more larger corporations of hotels. This hotel is a must, value, cleanliness, a warm calm peaceful snug in Wellingborough. Deserves more good guests 👏
- Carol (2/5): AVOID - . AVOID AT ALL COST
- J (8/5): ⭐⭐⭐ - Room was clean and pleasant to stay but was cold
- Martin (10/5): Five stars. - Excellent hotel. Lovely room, good size bathroom. Everything spotless. Easy parking.
- Christopher (8/5): Nice stay - The room had tv and tea, coffe and buscuits, the bed was comfy. A little walk into town with bars and restaurants. Staff friendly and a very tasty breakfast in the morning. Would stay again.
- ged (10/5): - Nice staff, nice stay. Only stayed one night. Thanks
- Guy (4/5): Unsecure, tired, and dusty - Choice was limited due to CoVid restrictions, bed was uncomfortable, could feel a couple of broken springs, and pillows lumpy. Rooms not cleaned or beds made in week, and could write in the dust on surfaces. And on 2nd day thought lock on case had been tampered with, so relocked and left lockon a number, which was changed whilst out on 3rd day and discovered on return, so not happy. Won't be returning. Nice shower though.
- Rob (2/5): - Loud noise from all rooms stunk of cigarette smoke and weed, dubious characters hanging about the front door, dated and felt like a hostel out of control!
- Anna (8/5): Hospitable and friendly staff - Easy to check in, was given a different room as I find the road noisy, no problems in changing. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Sadly the rooms aren’t soundproof so I was woken several times in the night by noisy neighbours / people outside. Overall good for the money though.
- Alice (8/5): Great customer service - Great service, great people. Shower was huge and great. The only downside was the smell in the room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home.
- Maurice (8/5): - Great hotel. Easy parking, good Wi-fi and a lovely breackfast!
- Vernon (6/5): - Limited parking but manager moved a staff vehicle for me late one evening when I couldn’t get parked on streets nearby
