Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Queensgate Hotel is conveniently located within a 15-minute walk to Peterborough city centre, placing guests near shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as close to the KFC. Guests often appreciate the comfortable beds and the advantage of free on-site parking. A number of visitors found the breakfast decent; while some encountered minor issues with the coffee machine, the available tea and other options often compensate. Though some guests have observed the need for some tidying up outside, many find the value for money appealing for a short stay.

average stay with some notable issues

musty smelldim lighting
the room had a musty smell and the carpet had some noticeable stains. i also found that the bathroom lighting was quite dim making it difficult to see well. the bed, while okay, wasn't particularly comfortable, one side felt slightly lower than the other. these issues detracted from what could have been a better experience.

central locationcomfortable bedfree car parktired hotelshrivelled foodtorn curtain
The hotel had a good location near the center. it was about fourteen minutes walking distance. i appreciate the car park. It was reasonably sized and free. the bed in my room was very comfortable too.
The hotel felt quite tired. a coffee stained heater was left in my room. my colleague's room had a torn net curtain. the breakfast was poor. The hot food looked shriveled.

The breakfast was fine and had a good selection (I especially liked the pastries).
The light above the door could not be turned off. It was very bright at night. The carpet had several burn marks and stains. It did not seem clean, so I didn't want to walk barefoot.

the room was great value. the staff were very polite. the bar served excellent beers. all requests were swiftly met. i was well greeted and made very welcome on arrival and given very clear instructions as to how to find the room. it was clear the staff were approachable should there be any issues.
upon entry to my room, there was an odour, i tried airing the room out but had no luck. i ended up using an air freshener to do the job. shower looked dirty with black mould in the corner. carpet was stained.
