Our stay at The Criterion was unfortunately very disappointing.
Pros:

The location was very convenient in the middle of town..

Cons:

The room accommodation was nothing like what was represented on booking.com
The building was in very poor condition in need of a lot of maintenance and the room had paint peeling off the walls. The male shared bathroom was unusable and the males had to share the female bathroom. Access to the verandah was blocked from the room we were given because it was unsafe which was very disappointing as we booked a deluxe room.

Pros:

Good vale for money. Clean and comfortable rooms. Loved being near the clock tower!

Cons:

The bathroom plumbing needs attention. One of the showers was seriously leaking all night (and we have just been drought declared) and the shower pressure was appalling. Also a curtain to block out the hall light would be nice.

This was the absolute worst hotel I have ever visited
Cons:

My stay was abhorrent. Firstly, I had pre paid and they insisted that I still owed them for the night. It was eventually resolved but I received a room with no lock on the back door and peeling wall point. My neighbour was smoking w**d with the door open. At 3am a huge yelling fight woke me up and I imagine the police would have been called. Genuinely the worst experience of my life. Please stay ANYWHERE else in Warwick

Never again
Pros:

Night Meal was ok. Sheets were clean. Shared bathroom was ok, hotwater good. Pretty clean for its age -domestos city, and the tiles were intact.

Cons:

Staff weren't very friendly. Breakfast Not available. Told it opened at 6am...but no one there at 7am.
DJ thumping under our bedroom till Midnight. Walls peeling paint. No hotwater from tap in room handbasin. Fromt verandah shabby and old cups , drinks left on tables for duration of our stay. Female toilets/showers only open,so had to share with Males. Toilets in public area were basic and door didnt lock.

Good hotel for a party, bad hotel if you want to sleep
Pros:

The staff were friendly and the bed was confrotable to lie on. Free parking. Beautiful looking building from the outside. The hotel has great potential but needs serious renovation work done to it.

Cons:

The paint was failing off the walls, the room was freezing cold due to the gaps in the door leading to the balcony which was closed off due to renovation work, no bed side lamp. The walls were dirty. The toilets were on the other side of the building, the noise level was crazy, live music down stairs in the bar , my room was directly above it, the walls were literally shaking with the loudness of the music , I was wearing earplugs and still couldn't block out the noise, the room was over priced for what I paid for. There were leaks in the ceiling in the hallway, buckets on the floor to collect the rain water. There were black hairs of the bed, not mine. I didnt stay the night, I checked out before the nights end.

We needed a place to stay close to the venue we were going to and the pub was the best choice
Pros:

Staff were friendly and the location was good. Sadly the rain has damaged a lot of the old building and our veranda was not accessible. I do hope the owners keep the old building up to scratch and take care of the leaking roof and the damage it’s caused. We love staying in the old pubs.

Cons:

There needs to be blackout curtains on the doors or a curtain that goes over the doors to block out the street lighting. Other than that, all was good.

Great Manager, staff, food and entertainment, however accommodation needs repairs.
Pros:

Ben the Manager is a lovely person and very friendly, the staff were great, service was great, food was great, entertainment in the pub was great also. Bed and pillows were comfy.

Cons:

The accommodation is very poor. The building is run down and needs a lot of work to bring it up to standard. Recent rain damaged the ceilings, carpets on one side of the building were wet, 1 of 2 bathrooms closed, no heating.

We paid accordingly to what we received. Staff were friendly.
Pros:

Clean bed

Cons:

Bright light on balcony was on all night outside the room, only a small lace curtain on window, so no privacy or screen from the light. Toulet floor needs a good scrub.
