Lindsey United Kingdom

Welcome received on arrival and considerate and friendly staff always talked to me and ensured I knew where I was going, and making helpful suggestions . Their kindness to a solo guest was so very much appreciated.

Prestt United Kingdom

A beautiful hotel. Lots of character. A very calm relaxed atmosphere.

Joan United Kingdom

Staff are super professional, friendly and helpful. Lovely big apartment. Valet service is superb. Clean, quiet had everything we needed and more. Location is fantastic and very central. We will be back. The girls on reception were absolutely amazing and helped us so much with info and organising things. Made us feel so welcome

Nikki United Kingdom

Staff exceptional. Lovely ambiance, delightful bar

Marcus Ireland

we had one of the self contained apartments in London street which if anything was nearly too good for what we needed. Could not fault one member of the hotel staff during our stay. all were friendly polite and helpful. a mention of Gary who showed us to the apartment and looked after my car.

Stephen United Kingdom

Room was nicely furnished comfortable and quiet. Food both evening and breakfast was very nice. Staff very welcoming

Andrew United Kingdom

Very good location so easy to access the attractions we wan't to see and walk around.Breakfast was excellent.

Janice United Kingdom

Nothing was too much trouble for anyone at the Bishops Gate Hotel and the General Manager was so kind and helpful, we had a little problem with our tv and he attended to it personally. Excellent menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there was a "special" everyday, all freshly cooked with a good selection of dishes to suit everyone - food was served promptly and looked beautiful, we could not fault anything. All the staff: reception, restaurant, bar, housekeeper, were very professional and friendly. A special mention to the lovely tall blonde lady at breakfast and to Michela who looked after us in the Wig Room. The managers all went out of their way to check that everyone was enjoying their meal and spent time for a little chat. My husband suffers from tinnitus and because the main restaurant was so noisy the manager straight away moved us to the Wig Room which was much quieter. If possible we would select the Wig Room when we return.
