I had an amazing relaxing night at the Urban rRetreat Hotel Grantham. The receptionist was lovely and even upgraded my room. I slept so well due to the feelings of luxury and safety. I look forward to returning in a couple of weeks. The hotel was very good value. Cheapest with own bathroom in Grantham though no one would ever know !1

Staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was very clean, well equipped with everything I could have needed. Quiet, a comfortable bed and a great powerful shower! Free parking. Very accessible, very affordable, The only downside was no food but there was a lovely restaurant just a few minutes walk up the road. Would definitely stay again :)

The room was spacious & comfortable. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom sink could have been cleaned better, but the rest of it was clean. It would have been better if we could have had breakfast there & the outside garden was available to sit in. All the staff were excellent & we would stay again.

Dated but decent

Starting with the positives... great customer service... front desk super friendly. Clean property and temp control fine. Down sides... room is pretty dated and the bed is pretty soft. For the money not too bad.

Urban Leisure Hotel, Grantham

We only stayed one night, and arrived late, after 10:30 p.m. Unfortunately, the heating had not been switched on, and the room was very cold. Neither of slept well because of the cold, so I'm sorry to say we did not enjoy our stay. The room itself was very nice, clean, and the beds were good. The shower was excellent too.

It is what it is

Hotel is what it is. Rather dated but clean and perfunctory. Perfect for a stopover to break a journey. No breakfast or other food available. Bathroom and bedroom were clean. Bed not very comfortable: mattresses old and worn. If you're not expecting anything flashy it is fine.

Okay the Hotel is just starting up again undernew owners so you know you can't expect the Ritz,but for what we paid £80 for a room with two doulble beds, coffee and tea facilities,TV, free internet,trouser press,hair dryer,ironing board and iron, electric heater. The bathroom did not have a bath, rather an amazing double shower with unending hot water and super clean white towels. The receptionist was so polite and courteous as was the night security person. There was plenty of parking and disabled bays. As I mentioned the hotel is under new management,so to some it could look a bit tired and maybe do with a deep clean, but it was just great for our stay. We wish you all well, and thank you for letting us know we left some things behind and helped us to arrange collection Rm 131 14/9/25

Arrived at 1am, got to the room and found it was not what we had booked. The room we required was not available. The shower only had one temperature and that was scolding hot so couldn’t be used. After speaking to reception (whom the staff were lovely couldn’t fault them) they was unable to provide us a different room that night but managed to change us to a family room for our second night stay. Rooms are dated, beds were comfortable.

Very clean and comfortable stay, staff are very pleasant and helpful, the hotel is in need of some tlc but the price does reflect this. Unfortunately the restaurant isn’t operating which makes it difficult especially when other eating venues are few and far between.
