Warwickshire Park Hotel Kenilworth by Belvilla

Very 1970

Walls and carpet were very outdated with plenty of wear and tear. Paint missing and holes throughout.
TV needed updating and no information packs or telephones in rooms.
Shower was absolutely freezing, bathroom was in much need of some TLC.
Window was broken and did not open which meant the room was very stuffy and uncomfortable to sleep in.
Decor needed updating and made the room feel even smaller than it already was - despite the room being recently cleaned, everywhere felt dirty.
All reported to front desk during my stay - for the price I paid was really disappointed.

It was run down

I didn't like that the corridors were lit by lights on sensors. I can understand the need for hotels to reduce their energy costs, but I found it quite unnerving as you were walking into a dark space before they came on. Also I didn't know how long I'd have before they might go off and my room was some distance away from reception. Some information from staff about this beforehand might have been reassuring.
They've obviously spent money on modernising some areas around reception and the dining room area. From the website I expected that the decor might be a bit dated in bedrooms. However I think the poor paint finish between the wall and skirting boards (and some dust on them in corridors) did diminish the overall feel. I think this could be easily rectified. Also the shower nozzle could benefit from being descaled.
I did raise a specific issue with a manager who said they would respond. However it would have been nice to have had some follow up on that since.

Had trouble finding our room. The signs stopped at 64 and we were in 65. 😂

Disappointed with the breakfast. None of the food items seemed particularily hot. Instant coffee too.

Nothing really, it is looking a bit tired and needs a lick of paint.

On arrival, this hotel seems to have 3 different names, making it rather hard to work out if you're in the right place. The old pub sign says one thing, the glass on the doors of the restaurant says something different and the illuminated name above reception says something else. I appreciate the hotel is "under new management (February 2026), but getting the name/branding right will certainly help the appeal.

The hotel has rooms is two halves. One half follows one paint/decoration theme, the other another. It is a warren of rooms and corridors above and my room (66) was not on any of the signs.

The 7am Fire Alarm was not appreciated on a Sunday morning! No explanation given when I did get downstairs for breakfast later. I had got dressed and out of my room heading for the nearest fire exit within 3minutes from being asleep...at which point the alarms stopped.

Breakfast was good, a good selection of food, both hot and cold, although I heard someone ask if there were veggie sausages as an option and informed these were not available. I was disappointed to see that we were still on instant packet coffee with a hot water flask though, as instant coffee is fine for the room, but it's nice to have a decent morning brew option when having breakfast.

Plug socket next to one side of bed didn't work so no lamp or phone charger could be used.
Plug didn't fit in the sink so that was unusable.
Fire alarm went off just before 7am on Sunday morning!!!!

Rooms very dated desperately needing a revamp !
