Hotels Near The Holt Recreation Ground in Royal Leamington Spa

Stayed for a couple of days whilst we visited local historical sites. Room was excellent as was the pool and general facilities. Was surprised the bar evening menu is the same as the main restaurant - seems little point in not availing oneself of the restaurant since it is much nicer and costs nothing more! Many thanks to the bar staff (who sang happy birthday) and Rieann and Ionda in the restaurant for their friendly service.

It's a very pleasant place to stay near Lemington Spa and staffs are very kind and always supportive.

We stayed here as our car broke down on the way to our holiday. We were travelling with young children and a disabled person. The staff at this hotel couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was beyond outstanding. The children were upset and disappointed and they were fantastic with them. They really couldn’t do enough to help. Kasey was especially lovely. A credit to your company. The next time we are in the area we will absolutely stay here again! I should also note that the hotel was lovely and clean and we had plenty of space in our family room. The shower was great. Breakfast was a good selection and hot and delicious. The bar was open until 1am which was particularly useful for us given the circumstances! 🙈😂

The hotel is generally good and the staff are attentive, but we would suggest avoiding the restaurant.  The hotel doesn't warrant a 4* with areas showing wear and tear such as water-damaged wood, mouldy seal in the bathroom, broken window locks, etc.  Our room was not ready when we arrived, so we were given a drinks voucher. After being advised our room was ready, we arrived at the room to find the maid still cleaning the room. The room included basic tea and coffee facilities and toiletries.  The pool/spa is limited and has a cold pool, a steam room, a sauna, and a gym.  We had booked into the restaurant for an evening meal, but when we arrived there was a table complaining about the food. They had sent their food back to the kitchen twice, and the staff were suggesting they send it back again. They walked out of the restaurant. Based on this, we thought we would order something that was pretty safe, so we ordered a burger and a chicken. However, the meat tasted cheap and of poor quality. The restaurant is charging gastro prices, but the quality is nothing better than Wetherspoons or worse. Again, the puddings were basic, with a vegan coconut ice cream that had an odd texture to it and a sticky toffee pudding that was no better than a cheap microwave pud. In our opinion, the staff were inappropriately dressed, with one waitress having such a short skirt that every time she moved you got to see more than you wanted. The bar staff were assisting in the restaurant, and one barman was dressed in hip-style jeans, which kept falling down. Although all very attentive and polite, it seemed that the hotel as a whole had very limited staff, with everyone just mucking in.  The breakfast was not much better than our evening meal. We arrived at 9.30am to find the milk, pastries, hot water, etc. had run dry. There was a selection of hot food, but once again the meat tasted cheap. The main waitress was incredibly young and either didn't communicate or spoke so incredibly quietly that you could not hear what she said.  At check out, we were not asked how our stay had been, and we felt that everything was done to avoid such communication.

The castle hotel where Elizabeth I spent his childhood is really beautiful, the environment is beautiful, and the medieval castle hotel itself is classic and beautiful, it is worth visiting. Service is good, breakfast is good, as long as it is not a weekend, the price is super high, it is definitely worth a stay |

We came back again for three nights, accompanied by my two young children. We always have a great time, it is so safe for the children and fellow people staying and staff friendly. The children felt they had a lot of freedom in a welcoming environment. Nice and close to Stratford, a lovely place to explore. We stayed in the accessible room on the ground floor near reception. My only gripe is that the room was not what I would call properly clean on arrival. There was quite a bit of dust on fixtures and fittings and debris under beds etc. The bathroom could also do with a deep clean. Either the cleaners are not trained/doing a good enough job and/or they are not properly supervised. Also, I got totally confused by the signage in the kitchen about turning on the extraction fan above the hops when cooking, but it failed to point out that the hob would indeed NOT WORK without the fan on, which is a different message altogether... I turned on all the hobs and even told the person at reception they were not working, only to be told the fan needed to be turned on for them to work. It wasn't just me who was confused, the next person who entered the kitchen had the very same issue! We hope to be back soon.

We stayed there two nights and there were 4 of us thus two, Deluxe rooms were booked. Absolutely nothing, except the size, was anywhere near Deluxe. The seats of the bar chairs were stained badly. The fridge in the room was empty, not even a bottle of water. When I asked if they had forgotten to fill it, the receptionist, totally disinterested, answered that they didn’t do that anymore and if we wanted a bottle of water, we had to ask for it at the reception. It was free but only on request. The second day we returned from a long day out to find the room and bed not made up and the bathroom exactly as we had left it.. again at the reception, where I was told that that also was only on request. We have stayed in very many hotels this and also in past years but this was just totally at the bottom of the list even though it was one of the most expensive. €1,000 for two nights. There were no lights on the dark path around the hotel.All in all a discrace all round for any hotel, not to mind a, so called luxury hotel… terrible. Booking.com only mentions our favorable comments and that were ..Good beds and pillows and perfect location. Had I read any of the more honest reactions, I would never have chosen this hotel. Hospitality was totally lacking, just as the honesty on the Booking.com site. Sad after many years of loyal use and satisfaction.. very disappointed this year !

I’m sorry to have to write a less effusive review than previous contributors. First impressions of the hotel are very good with what seems to be a well presented interior, friendly and helpful staff, a comfortable ambiance and an impressive staircase to all the rooms. However, it didn’t take much to notice that the carpet on the stairs was old, becoming threadbare and needing a clean. This theme continued to our room. The room seemed impressive at first but was immediately let down by a strong, lived smell. I tried to open the windows, but they were in a poor state of repair and could only open a few inches and with some effort. The bathroom smelled of damp and the ceiling over the shower was damp, slightly mouldy and with peeling paint. It didn’t take much to notice that what was once a very good carpet was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned properly in years. The soft furnishings smelled lived in and were stained ( something I noticed about the upholstered bench in the restaurant too). I did report to the very nice member of staff on duty who said the hotel’s owners (a small chain called whose name I can’t remember), hadn’t invested in the property for years. The staff really were very friendly and apologetic. Such a shame.
