My husband and I stayed at the Best Western Bentley hotel for a relaxing, get away from it all weekend in April 2006. We had lovely time, room was spacious and clean. Food in the restaurant delicious and prices reasonable. Breakfast good and plentiful.
The only reason for not giving this hotel an excellent rating was the noise of other guests in the reastaurant, a mature group being rather inconsiderate to other guests and behaving as they would probably fown on other younger people behaving. This though was not really any fault of the hotel or it's staff but did spoil what could have been a perfect weekend. I would definatley recommend this hotel and will be visiting again soon.

Large pool and good sauna, steam room and jacuzzi made the hotel something special. I did not visit the gym. Staff friendly and helpful. Food well above average and whilst 'a la carte' was a bit pricey, the 'table d'hote' was resonably priced with a good selection which changed every day. Bedroom was very large. Only disadvantage for some would be that it was quite a way out of the city centre but for those with a car it is well positioned for getting out and about.

Very good and clean hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The Leisure club facilities were great.
My only real critisism is the price in the restaurant for evening meals - in my opinion very expensive. It would be a good idea if they could provide bar meals in the evening maybe as an alternative.

First of al the good points. The staff were great, friendly and efficient. The room was large, comfortable and clean. The restaurant service was quick and friendly and the food was good. The bar was well stocked and comfortable.

And now the not so good. Now this is probably largely due to our taste rather than anything the hotel is doing wrong. The Bentley Hotel is a stop over, travellers hotel in my view. I cannot actually understand why anyone would pick it for a special ocassion.

I reiterate that although there is nothing actually wrong with the hotel, it has all the charisma and charm of a polystyrene cup. It is a modern building, faceless and has no character at all.

The restaurant food was good but I did feel as if I was in a 1970's timewarp. We didn't dress up for dinner as it didn't come accross as a dressing up type of place. When we got there we looked around to see lots of older ladies and gentlemen, accompanied by a large helping of sequins.

Having said this, the meal was good (if overpriced) and I would especially like to thank Matt the waiter for the flaming Crepe Suzette. Well...when in Rome.

If you want to get out of the hotel, please give the Gamekeeper pub a miss. This place is a chav mecca. Full of thongs, shaven heads and screaming brats. I sware my IQ dropped as soon as I sat down. Harsh, perhaps, snobby yes, but go in there and tell me I'm wrong!!!!

Anyway, we made the best of being at the Bentley and actually had a good time in the end.
