I think I've been had. I paid extra for 'executive'. I think that basically means a plate with 4 sorry pieces of fruit, a bathrobe and some shampoo. The room was so utterly dreary that despite being fit to drop I decided to go and find my dinner elsewhere. The restaurant/brasserie/bar is so terrible it feels like a care home... More

Came here first in 2010 when visiting the xscape the dry ski slopes and then came back again the following year when we had a brief heatwave in October. Great location to the sound centre lively area close to bars and restaurants. Hotel clean and staff are friendly and helpful. More

Stayed here for 1 night on business. The reception staff were polite & friendly and made checking in and locating a parking space in the multi-story car park opposite (£10 overnight) an easy experience. The room was basic but clean and comfortable although not too sure about the wooden floors. Breakfast was included in the price and while nothing special,... More

Attended a rugby match in Milton Keynes with my son so was looking for value. Ramada encore certainly gave that! Nice hotel, nice staff good atmosphere. Only downfall was the wooden floors throughout the room. Would love to meet the genius who thought it would be a good idea. You can hear People in the other rooms all around you!... More

Not a comfortable stay, room cold, too much noise outside. Staff need customer politeness training! I'd stay somewhere else in future. More

There wasnt anything special about this hotel. Extra for the car park, the shower is a wet room that floods. The bar restaurant was pretty soulless even with the travelling Munster Rugby contingent who are anything but. Fine for business trips but nothing to stick in your memoirs More

Booked this hotel for its proximity to a gig at the bowl. It was well-located, and the room was nice, but the parking was a bit of a nightmare (in an NCP-type car park with silly access codes that didn't work) and the hotel was expensive for what it was. Staff could have been more polite and helpful in my... More

Stayed at this hotel while attending a work course. breakfast was cold no matter what time I went there. Rooms were wooden floored and cold. 'Heating' was limited and noisy. Bed was too short, hence given the rating of DBSO was so true, it was a double bed, but could only accomodate one person, sleeping diagonal !! Bathtoom was a... More

I had the misfortune to stay at the Encore Ramada this week and in general it is poor value for money. The 'customer experience' began badly when I tried to park at the hotel's facility opposite the entrance. I had no idea how this process worked so approached the barrier and pressed the buzzer as there was no ticketing facility.... More
