“Valentines stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We stayed here for one night for valentines, the hotel was quite busy but the service was very good. We stayed in an executive room which was big enough for what we needed. We found the check in very easy and Laurie was polite and professional. We had afternoon tea in the bar lounge area which was very good as was the service. The food for valentines was a set menu of a couple of choices for each course which were well presented and served by a lovely lady. Breakfast was usual buffet but again served with a smile, the only gripe I have is we were not given or offered our bucks fizz at breakfast even though this was part of the deal. We would recommend this hotel for a short stay and value for money.

Mixip,
Thank you, and I am pleased that you consider us to be a good hotel. I am obviously sorry that you experienced difficulty at check in, however I am unable to comment upon the specific circumstances such as perhaps, you may have been checking in at a particularly busy time, I really do apologise. I am pleased however, that all other areas that you encountered, that you were happy with the service offered.
In regard to the bedrooms, our designer throughout the hotel has attempted to retain the feel and look of a bygone age, with the facilites required by the modern day traveller. By the very many comments we receive, I believe that in the main we have achieved this. I am glad that you slept well and appreciated the Car parking and free Wi Fi, and that you would recommend the hotel.
I look forward to welcoming you again soon.

“Mixed Service, Nice Hotel...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

The Bull hotel has a good hotel and other reviews have given clear adequately explained the various amenities; my perspective on the service was mixed - mainly because check in was rather cold and un-effecient (the usual; answer a phone, ignore a human being right in front of you...). Outside of check in the service was great in other areas; great bar staff, great staff at breakfast, etc.
Rooms are standard fashioned - neither out of date or ultra modern and seemed very clean; the bed was very comfortable and I slept well and the free wi-fi and parking is a boon. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

“Yes and no experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

The Bull Hotel is ideally located in the city centre of Peterborough, within walking distance from the cathedral, restaurants, drinks, and stores. Parking is free, but only accessed from the east. (Entry at corner of Broadway & Fitzwillam) Rooms are nicely appointed, generally clean (carpet could have vaccuumed at bit better) with the en-suite bathroom at a very high standard. The mattress in my room was my greatest disappointment, as it was so hard that I began to have back discomfort during my stay. A co-worker reported that his was soft (like sleeping on a couch), so your experience may vary. I would recommend the bed & breakfast option if you want a full buffet meal at a discounted rate. A good experience overall, and would have been rated excellent after a better nights sleep.

“happy returns”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Recently returned and again very enjoyable,good central location,service and friendly staff,room this time bit noisy because of on street location,went on good value deal so good vfm,bit disappointing gold voucher package means restricted to set menu,if you want a la carte have to pay Full additional price rather than offsetting value of table d`hote against it which makes dining not as good as it could be

Room Tip: Go for room at back as weekends its noisy

Dear Pigfarm9,
I am glad that you enjoyed your return trip to us. You're right, the Gold Bar promotion is exceptional value for money, and includes a three course dinner taken from our Prix Fixe menu. It is customary on these offers to pay the supplement when choosing from the full menu.
Nevertheless, I am so glad that you enjoyed yourself.

Kind regards,

Alan Price

“A Great Fiday Night”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Have stayed at the Bull several times and it's alway been consistantly really nice. Great location right in the centre of the city (not easy to find by car -- postcode takes you to wrong place on satnav - so check directions before hand) Reception staff are really friendly and helpful.. Bar staff are really good. There are lots of ggod restaurants and bars within a short walk. If you like Chinese try the Imperial Bento almost next door.. Room was high standard for a city centre traditional hotel.. very nice bathroom and bed was exceptioanlly comfortable. Breakfast buffet is as good as a breakfast buffet gets except it was not hot enough.. Personal preference but I prefer a hot breakfast cooked to order rather than from a buffet... I just find a buffet is never hot by the time you get it to your table.. Having said that the quality of food was excellent.. Overall a really nice stay..Peterborough is a nice night out... we will be back again soon... Glynne & Ann

Room Tip: Ask for a recently refurbished room..
