It was generally a miserable experience.
Pros:

Nothing really.

Cons:

Elevator not working
They claimed I wasn't booked in, but when I showed the emails from Booking.com they accepted I was. Four of my friends were turned away (Booking.com had to find them another hotel)
They tried to put me in a single room when I had paid for a double,
The bathroom was poor.

BED BUGS IN THE SHEETS AND MATRESS
Pros:

I didn't like anything about this hotel.

Cons:

My husband and I booked a night from February 13 to February 14, 2026. During the night my husband woke up very itching, very allergic. We checked the bed sheets and there were bed bugs on the sheets and the matress.
We lifted the bed sheets and they hadn't been changed for days, they were dirty and had some dead bed bugs.
I will never, ever recommend this place to anyone.
I'm traumatised.
They will try to choose another room for you to stay because they don't want return the money. DON'T ACCEPT!

Not so grand victoria hotel
Pros:

The grade 2 listed building has been part of my life as I'm a fellow Bradford lass whom moved away 5 years ago to a different county .I was visiting due to a family wedding.was looking forward to our visit as we had stayed in the hotel ten years ago for a family wedding in side the hotel .we were very impressed with this large beautiful hotel.at that time very different this time round.

Cons:

No working lift I'm disabled room cold due to the single pained victorian windows it was actually warmer in the corridor .it's looking tired now no staff on reception all day in back room.no welcome all foreign staff .it lacked professionalism skeleton staff was what we saw .we arrived after having a accident on the motorway so needed to have a cup of tea we explained this to staff they never offered us tea just a £50 damage fee incase we damaged owt, and told we would be getting a £100 parking fine as it does not recognise blue badges ,that when we receive this we have to then email them and they will waver it .also no help offered to carry our luggage up two flights of stairs seen as though the new lift was not yet working.we were not made aware that the lifts were broken when we booked .

Very nice hotel, needs some attention though
Pros:

Location is ideal, near the interchange
Atmosphere is welcoming
Rooms are nice but could have been a little better, TV had no remote and there was electrical tape around the TV frame. Lift has not been working for months according to reviews on Google
Good value for money

Perfect wedding reception!
Pros:

We had our wedding reception here and used The Great Victoria's own events planner, along with the Velasco Suite Room.

We used the the Penthouse for the day before and the big day itself itself.

The location was perfect for us to walk to and from the Register Office, couldn't fault that.

The Penthouse was a mix of the building's classic, original characteristics. We had a comfortable stay and the team at Great Victoria couldn't do enough for us - we definitely felt like the stars of the venue, so thank you all.

The events planner, Muqaddas was attentive, kind, warm and nothing was too much trouble for her. There were zero hidden costs, everything was explained if we weren't sure and our event was given the focus and effort it deserved. Muqqadas, you're a credit to all events planners!

The Velasco was perfect for our evening reception. The waiter team were perfect and had a huge impact on the running of the day. You're all so lovely! Never change your personalities, you're all absolutely spot on!

To sum up - We really did have the most memorable day, it was perfect on every way. We wanted laid back and casual and that's exactly what we got.

We hope you enjoyed the mini Colin caterpillars we left for you. A huge thank you to you all!

5* without a shadow of a doubt!
