De Vere Hotel University Arms  

Schönes altes Gebäude mit viel Charme, aber leider sind die Zimmer sehr abgewohnt und das Bad eine Zumutung.

Allenfalls das Frühstück, das klassische englisch ist und in einem stilechten, wenn auch angestaubten Ballsaal serviert wird.

Verstaubte Räume, schlecht geputztes Zimmer, schlechter Service (Anrufe von außerhalb wurden nicht in men Zimmer weitervermittelt, Weckservice wurde nicht eingehalten, Personal unfreundlich). Mein Zimmer war sehr klein, obwohl es sogar als Doppelzimmer verkauft wurde. Laute Parties im Hotel am Abend. Kurzum: Das Hotel ist sein Geld nicht wert; lieber das Crown Plaza um die Ecke nehmen.

Ich habe das Hotel wegen seiner Lage gebucht, und die ist wirklich sehr gut. Außerdem: gutes Frühstück, gute Matratze.

Extrem unangenehm: die sehr laute Klimaanlage direkt vor meinem Zimmerfenster (und einer Reihe weiterer Zimmer), die jeden Morgen um 6.30 Uhr zu dröhnen begann.Das Zimmer war relativ eng. Da ich ein Doppelzimmer zur Einzelnutzung hatte, kam ich zurecht, zu zweit wäre es problematisch geworden.

Location excellent, close to coach stop. Receptionists and staff are very helpful, friendly & efficient. Will stay again definitely.

A bit old and requires renovation. No wi-fi in rooms, need cable.

The location was perfect, right in the city centre. Staff were very friendly also.

There wasnt really anything exciting to this hotel. Our room was very very small and wasn't great value for money. The paint on the ceiling was shoddy, there was no view from the room and the pictures we saw before booking were very misleading. The room also picked up all the noise from outside and we could constantly hear the floorboards moving from the room above us.

I exceptionally liked the courteous and very welcoming staff, especially Angela at the reception and Elia at the restaurant. I also appreciated the comfortable bed and the abundance of pillows. The complimentary hot drinks and biscuits in the room also added a special touch of hospitality.

Perhaps the little black spider I found in my room might frighten an arachnophobic guest. :-) Oh, and yes, that plastic glove that the cleaners left inadvertently on the drawers might upset a fussy guest. Personally, these things did not really bother me, but I'm sure they would someone else.

The location is perfect for the city centre. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Very good price including breakfast.

Room was very tired, paper falling off ceiling. Bedding poor, had to find extra warmth using two single duvets stored in wardrobe. The original duvet was too small for the bad. Headboard too narrow for bed.Bathroom poor and did not like the steps into it. We have stayed before and this room was definitely not one of the best!

Excellent decor for the public hotel areas, and a vintage Otis cage elevator. Very cool. Perfect location for the colleges.

The rooms are not nearly as nice as the public areas of the hotel, and the front of the building looks like a 1970's office tower. Parking was very expensive on-site and almost non-existent nearby.

Staff were efficient and friendly .Breakfast was excellent.Beds extremely comfortable

Room needed decorating furniture tired and very scuffed

Could not park at hotel Room Tiny Room tired Lift not working Chipped bath in poor condition Noise from generator

Sadly a hotel which has not been refurbished for years and relies on the public areas to attract customers concealing tired and poorly maintained bedrooms. These commments are a criticism directed at De Vere top management as opposed to the staff at the hotel who work hard to cover up the results of poor investment. We were upgraded after complaining of the poor state of our room and temporary loss of hot water due to frozen pipes. De Vere are selling this hotel. Whilst the price is good it is only reasonable value if you enjoy your stay. Hopefully a new owner will provide the necessary refurbishment albeit the accommodation cost will understandably rise to reflect these improvements.

Location Nice breakfast

Hotel is getting a bit 'tired'. Price of parking at the hotel. Never had to pay at hotel for parking before.
