- Ollie (9/5): -
- Raymond (8/5): - Room was as expected.
Breakfast was excellent a mix of buffet and served to order hot breakfast,
Foyer and bar were stylish and welcoming,
Location was in the city centre, All was good
- Sunder (8/5): -
- Keith (7/5): Needs modernising. - Good location, cheap enough. Old hotel, nice entrance but rooms are dated.
- carol (8/5): -
- Sue (9/5): -
- Raja (4/5): - Nothing Old dirty carpets. Less water presure. Worse wash basin. I paid £59 and the room looks like £30

- James (8/5): -
- Aisha (10/5): -
- Shehzad Qureshi (9/5): Excellent again. Room 211 this time. - Clean room. Grand hotel. Free parking. Central location. Good price. No aircon. Windows only opened a small amount. Couldn't get the room cool. Desk fan was a bit useless.
- Jackson (10/5): -
- Elting (8/5): War sehr schön dort. - Das Hotel hat Charme, es ist sauber, dsd Personal sehr freundlich. das Frühstück umfassend und vielfältig. Die Barpreise absolut angemessen, nicht überteuert. Die Lage ist sehr zentral, Parken kostenlos, Bezahlung ausschließlich elektronisch. Die Zimmer sind renovierungsbedürftig.
- Molly (9/5): -
- Bernard (8/5): It was alright for a one night stay. - Love the design, rustic and elegant No air conditioning ( I can’t imagine staying there in the middle of summer) guess it goes with the rustic design and no complimentary water in the room.
- Noreen (10/5): Fantastic stay - Lovely clean and so close to the town centre with ideal parking
- Dominic (10/5): -
- Karen (8/5): Excellent short stay location. - Lovely old fashioned hotel .
Central location.
Good breakfast.
- Scott (10/5): Great stay - Great location, spacious room, good tea making facilities, big bathroom, lovely communal areas with lovely seating, nice clean towels, comfy bed and lovely staff. Only one pillow on each side of the bed with no additional pillows anywhere in the room. A couple extra pillows in the wardrobe would be a good idea.
A glass screen instead of a shower curtain would also help modernise the feel of the bathroom.
- john (5/5): - The staff Very poor condition of room, bathroom in need of re furb
- Richard (8/5): -
- William (10/5): -

- FRANCIS (10/5): Great stay - It was neat NA
- Phillip (10/5): -
- Paul (9/5): Great location, would stay again! - Great central location close to some good pubs, Bradford's football ground and lister parkrun which were the main reasons for my visit. The Bed was soft, nice pillows and I had a great nights sleep. The shower was powerful and warm, and they had real ale on tap in the bar(s) downstairs. Only slight issue was the toilet flush was a little on the hard side, otherwise great (I didn't report it as I managed). Slightly more shower gel would have been nice, but shops are close by if you need more.
- Helen (10/5): Great location and value for money - Ideal location for a trip to the theatre and for the shopping centre. Excellent value for money and a really good breakfast. Also a great place for a bar lunch I found everything satisfactory
- Kevin (7/5): Mixed feelings - The Staff were very helpful and friendly rooms were large and clean my favourite part was the entrance from the Parking area the old Victorian entrance way with tiled walls and planked walkway fantastic area The Hotel was very empty and the local area did not feel safe not the Hotels fault
I did book in for Breakfast at extra cost the Fruit and pastries were good but the Cooked Breakast was very over cooked Backon like Cardboard Egg not runny generally cold only hot item was the Baked Beans that had been Microwaved could have been better
- John M J (7/5): Pleasant but value questionable. - Rating for Executive Room.
Positives
Location
Overall ambience of hotel and history
Bathroom size
Power shower superb
Though clean and tidy, all pretty basic and left wondering what I was paying extra for Exec room for. Negatives
Size of room compared to standard option
Quality of finish
Cheap laminate in need of repair in room entrance
Other than a capsule coffee machine, no additional benefits.
No complimentary water in fridge or other items that could be paid for
No soaps and other goodies in bathroom.
- Martin (8/5): - Bar They had replaced coal fire with a gas one!
- Gary Nisbet (10/5): Very relaxing and pleasant stay. - Beautiful Victorian building, excellent, roomy accommodation, large, bright bathroom, comfortable bed, good quality t.v., plenty of tea, coffee and milk. Room was perfectly quiet and sleeping unhindered by external traffic noise. Excellent city centre location and welcoming and helpful staff. There was nothing that I did not like.

- Richard (10/5): -

- Andrian (5/5): -
- Gary (8/5): Very good - Very convenient for the city centre, spacious and clean. Loved the history of the building as a railway hotel. Security - doesn't appear to be any barriers to non guests accessing lifts and bedroom corridors.

- Nisha (5/5): Amazing staff - I enjoyed my stay,staff were exceptional,caring,helpful night staff very understanding and helpful Thank you 😊 No heating working in room,that didn't help my health condition was up in pain due to radiators off.was given heater but wasn't same as paid for comfort so everything should be working.Flush on toilet very stiff not good for hands as suffer from nerve damage in hand.we stayed 2 nights and no bedding changed or bins.This needs to be addressed as I suffer from ocd bedding can get dirty and bins can get full.cleaner was amazing seen her outside my room. Very helpful ☺️
- Paula (9/5): Lovely hotel right in the centre - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The Hotel was a beautiful grand old hotel. All the areas in the hotel were spotlessly clean. nothing
- Stephen (8/5): Comfortable, convenient and nothing to dislike really . - The history behind the hotel is interesting it bring the old railway station built in 1892 (Ithink). There are still lots of very grand features within the hotel and you can see how it was once very glamorous. It must cost a lot to maintain and there are areas which would benefit from freshening up but still very clean and comfortable . The food was good and a nice breakfast served by friendly staff. Location perfect for the theatres which was the purpose of our stay.
- Peter (9/5): -
- Geoff. Hayes (10/5): - Second time staying here zero complaints. Short walk to the Alhambra Theatre
- Antony (7/5): Great room and hotel. Shame the choice of food and drink was limited. - Lovely interior. Very grand. Upgraded room was nice. Very powerful shower! Very clean and comfy. Saturday night in a grand hotel. No cocktails. Didn't even have Tia Maria. Had to eat in bar as restaurant closed. Tried ordering dessert at 9.30 to be told kitchen was closed. Asked for crisps and only 2 choices. Seemed to be run on a shoestring. We'd have spent so much more money.
Breakfast was plentiful but hot food a little dry as buffet/left under hot lights for some time.
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Sajid (8/5): -
- Paul (5/5): Was ok for the price, clearly once a fabulous building now needs some TLC and thought to make people’s stay memorable - Location & price No heating controls, bathroom had trimming missing, didnt get the room we booked with a city view. We were told the bar was open 24/7 but we could
nt get a drink. We booked the hotel for our 20th wedding anniversary and there was nothing in the room despite putting that in the booking, although thats not to be expected, many hotels we’ve stayed in for special occasions have done something for us. Carpet trims left loose on the corridor which my fiancé fell over, luckily no injuries.
- Bilal (10/5): It was pleasant and I would recommend - It was nice and comfortable The tv only had free channels and nothing else worked
- kelli (6/5): -
- Bilbinder (5/5): Reasonable, but need needs improving a lot - The location and parking The room wasn't cleaned unless you paid extra!
I don't like like cashless situation.
- Mohammed (5/5): Stay for location but hotel itself not worth it - Location Flies in bedroom and bathroom, out dated room
- Kelly (10/5): -
- John (4/5): - On our last day we finaly got to speak to a staff member that actualy understood the room was of a substandard quality . Nowhere near what we have had in our previous visits . Hopefully these rooms will be taken our of use till upgrades are completed. The ambience of the building is superb. Luxury feeling is flowing around . The breakfast is more that capable to fill any travelers requests . Parking is free and has camera security with easy rejestering at the reception .
- Guest (9/5): -
- Trevor (9/5): - Great hotel,in a fantastic location Nothing to like
- David (9/5): -
- John (8/5): Great location with parking but the breakfast needs improvements. - Hotel is next to city centre. Ideal for access to various venues and restaurants in the area. City centre parking is a bonus. The full English breakfast had dry bacon, overcooked fried eggs, poor quality sausages and rubbery black pudding. My wife’s poached eggs were more like semi hard boiled eggs on toast, fortunately she could add baked beans for some moisture.
The restaurant manager would benefit from randomly trying some of the offerings for him/herself.
- ryan (10/5): - Excellent from start to finish
- Lee (10/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Tanya (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): - A beautiful reminder of the splendour of the old Bradford.
A hotel stay that doesn't disappoint in any sort of way.
Great room n view, breakfast n overall good feeling n hospitality.
Secure parking n dog friendly, Excellent N/A
- Carole (9/5): Fabulous Hotel in a great location. - My lovely large standard room with an enormous bed. Windows that opened. Easy check in, friendly staff and overall a lovely comfortable hotel in a good location. The hot and cold water trickled out of the bathroom taps and the taps were so close to the basin that you could hardly get your hands under.
Apart from that there was nothing else I didn't like.
- Justin (8/5): Relaxing stay in a magnificent building - I had a great week at The Midland. It's a magnificent building in remarkable condition, a proper grand hotel. It also has the huge benefit of a car park, which was one less thing to think about. The staff were considerate, helpful and unfailingly polite, and the room was comfortable and warm Nothing!
- Sharon (10/5): Loved our stay, thankyou - Beautiful hotel. Comfy beds and very clean rooms.
- SHUXIN (9/5): Fantasic, the best choice hotel in Bradford if you are old fasion mind - The location, the staff, and the whole environment made me feel like I was in the last centry, very old fasion but very quiet and tidy. Nothing
- Nadine (8/5): A historic gem with everything you need for a pleasant overnight stay - Charming, well presented, large room, had a fridge in the room Nothing
- Malcolm (9/5): A value for money property with a great location and lots of original features - It had great character and a quality central location for the theatre and as a base to explore Parking on site
Value for money
Location
Staff
Historic old building with large rooms and lots or original features
- HayatASyed (4/5): Not worth the money - We booked two rooms for a might. Overall decor is very dated. Dust in the rooms. Hotel rooms need refurbishment. Hot water tap wasn’t working. Walls had stains. Room was dusty. My wife and daughter are already allergic to dust and this stay made it worse. I am surprised the booking.com has rated this hotel better than premier inn or travelodge in that area. Not a three star hotel at all. Beds very uncomfortable. No extra pillows were supplied.
- John-Paul (5/5): -
- phillip (8/5): Excellent in all aspects. - Very nice.
- david (8/5): Comfortable & characterful - Great location comfortable room nice bathroom friendly staff Food was ok but not spectacular. Breakfast is self service not really hot sadly.
