Comfortable in spite of the dire lack of maintenance -- but ok for the price
Pros:

The location was excellent, especially handy for public transport and close to the evening venue booked by my friends. My room was spacious and I particularly liked the fact that I could open the window wide -- a rare feature of hotels these days. The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible, and the dining room very basic and uncomfortable! Very limited choice, especially of non-cooked things. A few little boxes of cereals, no fresh fruit, no marmalade for the toast. In the en suite bathroom the toilet seat fittings were broken so that the seat fell off; the tap in the basin was loose in its socket so that when you turned the tap on, the whole fixture came away. There was an exposed electric wire running from the heated towel rail alongside the basin, which looked like a serious health hazard. Everything about the hotel suggested no one had done any maintenance for ages!

Very good value for money, and excellent location, even though this might be too noisy for some.
Pros:

Very good value for money for our purposes. Yes there is noise quite late from the bar below at weekends, which I expect would bother guests who want to sleep earlier than that, but we are late sleepers, so it didn't bother us. Room was small but adequate. Bed was very comfortable and shower was very good. Standard breakfast may be small for some people but was adequate for us. Its was only £3 per person to upgrade this to a larger breakfast

Cons:

Early morning traffic noise. However this was what we expected on a main road in the centre of town. Lack of car park was a minor problem, bur there is a reasonably priced, and very convenient Council car park very close by (Bath Place) with overnight parking.

Be good for a night out in leamington but not so good when you have to be up at 5am .
Pros:

Ideal location and value for money, seemed pretty clean .

Cons:

I had the room above the smoking area for the pub downstairs, it was noisy in the afternoon …I didn’t have much hope for getting any sleep at night so stayed somewhere else. Broken toilet seat and on the 4th floor so a bit of a trek up stairs with no visable lift

Reasonable for the price
Pros:

Only £50, which was the cheapest option in Leamington at the time. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. My room (No. 3) was basic and a little dated, but it was clean, functional, and perfectly suitable for my needs as a backpacking cyclist.

Cons:

No complaints at this price thank you for looking after me and my bike.

Pros:

Friendly staff, great location, good breakfast

Cons:

I had a room facing the street in the afternoon sun during a heatwave and it was blisteringly hot. A fan would've been handy.
