We particularly wanted a hotel with pool, but when we checked in we were told the pool was closed "for cleaning and refurbishment." No apology, the receptionist said "but everything else is open". Why weren't we warned when we booked by phone? Later the reason was changed to "technical problems". The room was great and could not be faulted, but... more

I find it mind boggling this hotel has been rated 5, 4 etc by people adding a review for this hotel. The only review which is a bit more acurate rates this hotel 1. On arrival, staff were chatting as we waited to check in. The reception area was dark and dreary. We ordered afternoon tea (as we had a... more

I have just spent the weekend at this hotel with my husband and 2 small children. I can not fault this hotel. The staff were excellent and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was lovely, ok not loads of room but it was a family with 2 beds in it so you cant really... more

Although convenient for the M1/M6 this is not a hotel that raises the spirits. Impersonal check-in, dark, hot and quite small rooms, bar service awful - red wine served lukewarm, told 'they are all like that', orange juice smelled - and probably tasted - like Harpic. Breakfast efficient but poor selection. Morning paper requested but not delivered. Food expensive but... more

I booked this hotel for a family treat, there were 12 of us, on a dinner Bed and breakfast basis. Where do I start : Check in was fine and from first impressions seemed OK And then it stops ... We had a family room booked, which meant it was a double room with 2 double beds squeezed into it.... more

Stayed here one night and would actively recommend people to NOT stay here. Some of the hotel facilities looked OK even thought it looked like it had been furnished from a job lot from ikea. Our room was dirty and there were piles of cigarette ash everywhere. The bed was clean at least and the pillows not bad. Other parts... more

When we were heading for the Barcelo Daventry I had images of an Alan Partridge type experience...However, the Barcelo Daventry is better than that - the rooms were really nice (certainly nicer than many Hilton's I've stayed in), the parking was easy and free, the health centre was pretty good and the restaurant was better than expected. We had a... more

Stayed here for 1 night midweek on business. Plenty of parking, reception quick and friendly and generally in good order. The rooms are in a quadrangle and true to form mine was as far away as it could be but not a problem. The room itself was modern and clean and the shower blew you away - just like I... more

We have just returned from Barcelo Hotel, Daventry after attending our yearly company function. It is three years since we last attended this hotel and we could see the difference as soon as we walked through reception! The new bar area is great, open plan so you can see everyone arriving and very comfortable settees too. The rooms were clean,... more
