Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Queensgate Hotel is frequently chosen for its convenient location, especially for those attending events at the local museum or needing quick access to the train station. Guests appreciate the clean and comfortable rooms, some noting the spaciousness of the bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as the provision of tea kettles. While the hotel offers good value, a few guests have mentioned that it's located on a busy main road. A short walk will get you to the cathedral and the city centre, with a KFC nearby for a quick bite, and free on-site parking adds to the convenience.

I came here to attend an event at the local museum. There is free parking on site. The staff members are very helpful. They sorted technical issues calmly. Room wifi worked fine.

Great business stay

superb staffclean hotelaccommodating stafffriendly team
I stayed at the accommodation for work. The team was amazing from arrival to departure. I used a function room for training purposes. The staff arranged the room as I needed it and helped with anything the delegates wanted (i felt very thankful). The housekeeping staff were friendly. front of house staff and the manager were polite. I found nothing too difficult. They always greeted me with a smile. I am scheduled to return next week and look forward to it.
The double bed was very small, but manageable for a short stay.
