Not for me
Pros:

The only thing I liked was the location and the staff who greated me. She was lovely.

Cons:

Sadly the pictures do not match what you get in real life. Tiny room, wall paper all ripped off, felt like a hostel. Kitchen closed as broken.

Didn't stay and checked in somewhere else.

Comfortable cheep stay
Pros:

For the price the room was fine, the bed was actually very comfortable and all the sheets were very clean along with the bathroom!
The staff were lovely and very helpful.

Cons:

I’ve seen a lot of people talking about breakfast, it seems they haven’t had a chef in over 6 months so it would have been nice to know that before rather than advertising a cooked breakfast. The curtain was broken so we did have a gap that let light in as well.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in
Pros:

I didn’t stay round for breakfast as the stay was so bad

Cons:

Dirty carpet, flaking paint on the walls, lumpy bed, dreadful noise and creaking whenever anyone moved on the top floor - which was from about 6am. Pretty much everything about the room and hotel was dreadful

Pros:

The breakfast was a good selection of continental food but we had been looking forward to a cooked breakfast, so it was unfortunate that they weren't able to offer this.

Cons:

The room was cold.

Cons:

I had a really disappointing experience staying at Thomas James Hotel in Leamington Spa. The staff were extremely unprofessional, with very poor manners, which made the whole stay uncomfortable.

We only stayed for one night and didn’t even have breakfast despite it being included. When we returned to the hotel around 1:30am, we were being quiet. Although I had a single room, my friends had left some belongings there earlier and came back briefly to collect them.

Within minutes of us entering the room, the hotel manager started aggressively banging on the door, claiming we were causing a serious hazard. We calmly explained that my friends would be leaving within 10 minutes, but she returned again, banging on the door and demanding they leave immediately.

To make matters worse, when we were leaving, there were several people from the pub gathered on the stairs, which itself felt like a fire hazard. They were also intimidating and unpleasant towards us for no reason.

Throughout the night, there was constant noise—doors slamming and loud banging—which made it very difficult to sleep. Overall, it was a terrible experience. The manager was extremely rude and even swore at us, despite us trying to apologise and explain the situation.

I would strongly advise avoiding this hotel, especially if you’re a young person or a couple looking for a comfortable and respectful stay.

Decent Stay
Pros:

The rooms were warm and clean, with tea making facilities. Not expensive

Cons:

The hotel needs re-carpeting and redecorating. The pub bar wasn't somewhere I'd want to use.
