Hotels Near Billing Pocket Park in Northampton

Having recently discovered The Falcon had gone through a massive transformation, we decided to book Sunday lunch at Eyas restaurant at the Falcon Hotel. The car park is large, well maintained, and in the shadow of the beautiful hotel. You are greeted as you enter and temperature taken as per the norm these days. You then go through a series of little lounges to the restaurant, all part of the hotel seating and resting areas, beautiful. The restaurant is large and the decorating is amazing. The menu is quite small but everything is cooked and prepared perfectly. We had roast beef main courses, preceded by pig cheek, salt baked celeriac and another starter. When they were served, there were about 4 staff doing the serving, one holding the tray of food, another serving etc. So nicely done. The starters have all kinds of goodies with the dish, hints of and touches of which make the dish amazing. The beef melted in your mouth. Individual pots of cauliflower cheese. Nothing too much of a problem. We had the chocolate dessert, can't remember the name, and the cheese board. Truly wonderful. Yes it isn't cheap, but this is fine dining, not just a £20 Sunday roast. You are made to feel special, and makes for a special occasion. If I didn't live so close it would be a great place to stay, the hotel looks so inviting and the staff so friendly. Will definitely come back. Enjoy

excellent location, 10 minute walk from Northampton station and right outside the central bus stations with easy access to the town centre. From an accessibility point of view, the hotel is excellent — the accessible rooms are very easy to move around, with brilliant walk-in showers with chairs and reachable lights and sockets with modern features like USB charging points and chrome casting. The restaurant was closed due to it being quiet which was quite annoying as the bar menu had almost nothing plant-based to order, and extremely limited vegan /veggie options for breakfast too.

he issue that I have experienced was: When I first arrived at the hotel I requested an iron and and ironing board. The member of staff gave me an iron but stated that I could not have an ironing board because it must be in a room. I asked if I could get it later as I need to iron my shirt for work and was informed that it would be sent to my room. This happened at around 3 in the afternoon, it is now 10.15 at night and they have not produced it. Next I ordered a meal in my room, I waited 1 hour before going to reception and finding out they forgot to send my meal to my room. I was informed that the meal was ready now if I wanted it I could take it, which I was happy to do, only to find out that they had tried to give me my meal that was stone cold. Not good for chicken and chips. I then ordered a smaller snack because of the time and waited 45 minutes telephoned reception and was told by the supervisor that they had just come on shift and knew nothing about my issues. She apologised and assured me that she would personally bring my sandwich to me in 15 minutes, 30 minutes later I go to reception as I had still not got my sandwich and it was too late to eat at 9.30 at night. I asked to speak to the supervisor outside as the members of staff who gave me this poor service were by reception and I wanted to speak privately, outside I did not get an apology for the poor customer service of her staff and she did not apologies for incorrectly telling how long I would have to wait the second time, after I had told her about my poor experience. She then said ”you don't want the food raw, do you” after me complaining about her keeping waiting the second time. I teach customer service and this has been the worst service I have ever received in a hotel ever, and I will using this experience with Ibis in my classes on a perfect example of how not to treat a customer for a long time. This is my first experience of Ibis hotels and I am shocked that this is how you treat your guests. It occurred on: 01/09/2022 This meant that I am in my hotel room furious and disappointed and have not eaten. It feel ironic that tomorrow I will be teaching customer service and I am unable to sleep because of how much this has affected me. I am not satisfied with the service I have received and I feel frustrated that it is too late to book into another hotel. Train your staff to a much better standard and made aware that this is not good enough. Send me a full apology and the cost of my evening meal that I did receive should be charged. I don't expect any of the things I have shared with you to make any difference to the staff and if I was ever foolish enough to stay at this hotel again I am sure I would get the same poor customer service. I just hope that this is a poor hotel and it does not reflect other hotels in your chain.

Really easy when checking in, staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though we had booked without breakfast, they still gave us all the times in case we changed our mind as well as the times for the food and the bar. The room was clean and just what we needed for a getaway. Plenty of space and it had really good space to store our belongings away. Good amount of plugs, especially having one either side of the bed. Bathroom was clean and a really good size. Wifi was included, which made it more appealing as usually when we go away we have to pay extra!

Staff are lovely, welcoming.and very helpful. Food tastes delicious. Hotel is kept very clean. Loved it, thank you

Very quiet considering it's right next to the A14, i didn't hear anything from the traffic. Supported by a Starbucks and a Petrol station. The hotel was great the staff were all very helpful and happy to help with any questions i had. Clean towels, tea, coffee, milk refills means that you could stay there without going anywhere if you wanted to just chill out on your own. With a TV and my crime magazine i was happy to chill in the evening. Would be really happy to book this hotel again in the future.

This was a last minute booking, literally got to the hotel and crashed and the woke up early in the morning and was out of there. Did not really get to check out the hotel but did the job. Oh and their breakfast is good.
