The Lansdowne

Excellent location and very pleasant and helpful staff

Very average hotel, with an air of disappointment, on a busy crossroads. No cooked breakfast. Poor continental breakfast as even the bread and jam are basic. The car park is tiny and difficult to park in. Chosen for convenience alone. Am sure there are better hotels.

The hotel is an old building with solid walls, so the rooms were quite quiet. Our visit co-incided with scaffolding entirely covering the outside of the building for remedial work on the walls and roof, but although off-putting there was no noise or dust from the works - just a pair of feet dangling from the scaffolding outside our window on the day of our arrival! No lift, so don't have too heavy a bag, especially if your room is on the top floor. Although spotlessly clean, the hotel had quite a musty odour so it was important that we could open the sash window to air our room - otherwise this review would not be so positive! We both found the mattress to be too firm, but that is probably just us, as other members of our group had no issues. Otherwise, the room was well-appointed, TV and lights all worked and the wifi was good. The breakfast (continental only) was much better than we had expected, with plenty of choice of cereals, yoghurts, nuts, seeds, fresh fruits, cheese, breads and pastries. We didn't feel short-changed by there being no cooked option. Complementary bottles of water plus extra tea and coffee sachets were available in the lobby area and kept restocked. Receptionist staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere generally was laid-back. Note: rooms are not made up unless the "please make up room" card is hung on the door in the morning.

Beautiful, clean ensuite room, great continental breakfast, friendly service. Ongoing construction work on the building facade made the stay sometimes noisy in daytime.

Don't be put off by scaffolding & work going on outside. Inside is very cosy & clean. Warm welcome from owners. Room was a good size for a single with a spacious bathroom. The continental breakfast was superb. Only a couple of minutes walk to parade and all the amenities. Will definitely return next time I'm in Leamington.

The hotel was clean, friendly and good value, the continental breakfast was plentiful. The staff were great and we got a parking permit which was great. However there was scaffolding around the building and around 9 am on the second day there was hammering and banging almost outside our window. We were not informed that this would be happening. Overall a lovely hotel and very close to everything in the town and I would stay again
