We was a little dissapointed as the room wasnt as lavish as it looked on the website which is the only reason i had spent that amount, so it wasnt worth the money. Next time ill be going back to the premire inn. But on a positive note all the staff were very nice, polite and approachable.

Very enjoyable and friendly experience.
The whole hotel felt old and in need of renovation. The sofa bed was uncomfortable. The double bed was really good and comfortable the pillows and sheets were really nice and clean the bathroom was very clean the service was excellent, friendly, kind and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel over any of the big chain hotels like premier inn.

Hotel itself was great value, good sized clean rooms, really comfortable bed. Really pleasant communal areas. Check in was a long process, particularly after a long day travelling. Really unhappy by an unadvertised £50 pre authorisation charge (apparently refundable 5 days after check in) levied on check in. It’s not clear what this money was pre authorised for.

This is a good hotel and i have stayed here repeatedly for 6 months and i always enjoy my stay. However, this was the second timebin two weeks were my room had no heating and was very cold. It is not a usual issue, normally the rooms are well heated and the night is comfortable but with no heat and a thin quilt it was very uncomfortable on this occasion.

Our room was comfortable but the bathroom could of been better. It had black mould around the bath and in-between the tile. There was a Take That tribute band on and our room was directly over the function room and was very noisy, so much that the room was vibrating.We couldn't get to sleep until after 1am when the music finally finished. We wasn't made aware of this at check in or I would of requested another room.

I always stays at the GV and always enjoy my stay and the staff have always been great. However, on this occasion the room was freezing and I had an uncomfortable night. In the morning when I went down for breakfast I spoke to the receptionist on duty, told him about the problem and asked about getting the heating sorted whilst I was at work. Told him the problem several times and the room number and he did not get off chair to even make a note (just said he would get it done). When I cam out of breakfast there was a different receptionist so I told him. He immediately got of chair and made a note of issue and room number. When I got back room was only slightly warmer so I suspect and issue that could only partially be remedied so another reasonably cold night.

Average.
We opted for a family room with a pull-out sofa bed, but the mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. My two 10-year-old girls couldn't sleep well, even with extra duvets provided by the hotel reception. During our 3-night stay, our rooms were changed for the second and third nights, which improved the situation slightly, but I still wouldn't recommend these pull-out sofa beds. The staff was generally helpful, but if you're considering using the sofa bed, I'd advise against it.

Very Poor hotel Management.
Cannot believed that this hotel Great Victoria Hotel in Bradford would not authorise for Hotel.Com to give me a refund for a terrible night when the water leaked through the roof into the ceiling and when I rung for the reception at 3am there was nobody around. We had to collect the water using the two cups supposedly to use for coffee cups😳 After all this problem with no sleepless nite they are offering a free stay ( when I live 5 hours from the hotel, why would I need to come back to stay at this same hotel ever again?)

University reunion 40 years after graduation
We recently spent the weekend at the Great Victoria Hotel in Bradford for a university reunion. (We graduated in 1983) It was clean and tidy, the room was comfortable but the decor all looked a bit old and tired. The staff were friendly but there weren't many around so we had to go and find the receptionist and bar person a couple of times. The city of Bradford was disappointing; no pubs open in the centre on Saturday, police attending a fight, construction work and road diversions in place etc.
