Awful experience

Staff seemed friendly and nice upon arrival that was the only good thing about the stay We had mould on the walls above the bed some sort of substance on the walls bathroom was not clean and neither was the drawers. Tried to explain to the lady who was cleaning rooms and she just gestured go away would not recommend to anyone. More like a hostel than hotel.

Ignore first impressions

From the outside this hotel isn't paticularly pleasing on the eye, and inside the hotel is a little dated. However, see past that and yiu will have a very enjoyable stay. This is perhaps the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in and everything in the room yet, which I find often isn't the case, even with 5 star hotels. The breakfast was perhaps one of the best, if not the best I've ever had in a hotel. And when I thanked the owner she confirmed that all the food is cooked fresh fro scratch. The husband and wife owners were vert helpful and even opened the bar 2 hours early just to me. Yes the decor is a little dated and the outside could do with sprucing up, but the service, cleanlinesd and breakfast were 5 star

Bedding and bathroom very clean; tea/coffee/biscuits and toiletries provided, but carpet in room was obviously old and dirty. Parking was good and well lit, hotel was quiet, except that I was wakened by someone knocking on my door at 1.30am. I did not answer but after a few minutes I heard knocking further away and voices so I assume that someone mistook the room. However, as a lone woman I was not happy to be disturbed in the night.

I stay at the Columbia as it’s convenient for our Wellingborough office and close to two supermarkets. It’s good value for money, has (limited) on site parking and a decent standard internet.

A warm welcome and clear communication. Very helpful friendly family run hotel. The hotel looks like it is slowly beind developed, so a bit dated in areas but clean, comfortable with easy parking. I had their chicken curry for dinner, really tasty. A great stay, I will definitely use again and llok forward to watch the transformation.

Good cheap hotel

Good cheap hotel. A bit tired looking in places but clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking, good WiFi, usual tea/coffee/ biscuits which were topped up every day, friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom with a walk in shower which I much prefer to a bath. The only issue for me was there was no desk/table to work at but laptops are called laptops for a reason! Room was cleaned and bed made up for me every day which a lot of hotels don’t do these days.

This proprty does feel a bit tired and dated. We stayed whilst visiting santa pod raceway. 15 minuets from the track. The hosts were so friendly and accomodating. We had a family room which was perfect. Spotlessly clean including the bathroom and beds comfy. Tea coffee and toiletries in the room. Breakfast was extra but wow! What a great breakfast and im picky for quality 10/10. Overall good value and just what we needed. Should we ever use a hotel again whilst visiting santa pod we would definitely stay again.

Great value for money - and very quiet!

This large hotel was SO friendly and accommodating. Superb freshly cooked breakfasts and extremely comfortable and quiet room. Had the feel of a very personal B&B rather than a large hotel. Great value for money - definitely would stay again if we're in the area. Thank you for your welcome and your hospitality.

Where to start. It's dire. There's graffiti on the outside wall. I arrived in the afternoon, checked in, got a little nap and a shower before going out for the evening. Upon my return, the smell of weed in the corridor was overwhelming. The mattress wasn't supportive enough and a single quilt is not sufficient for an adult in a single bed. I couldn't reach the bathroom window to close it. The decor and fittings ate we overdue replacement. Breakfast finished at 9am. Really?? My event started at 9am, and I was back in hotel by 10am. So, even if I wanted a relaxing weekend breakfast , no chance. I took photos of the lampshade and kettle, both disgusting.
