Centrally located. Staff are absolutely helpful and very friendly. No fault there. Be warned it is next to a busy road so if you are given a room facing the road, come very tired, or very intoxicated so you can sleep. Otherwise, if you stay longer the sound becomes white noise and helps you relax. Again, I compliment the staff - professional, friendly and make you feel very welcome.

The stay at the Holiday Inn Bradford was overall, good. The room was nice if a little dated, but there were no plug sockets near the bed, and the room was very warm. There was a little fan supplied, but as there were not many sockets in the room, we couldn't use the fan as our phones were charging. We also had to close the windows due to traffic noise. The breakfast buffet was nice, the staff were friendly and the hot food was always topped up. Unfortunately a family of Africans were grabbing handfuls of pastries and muffins with no care for hygiene. They took all the muffins, and as fast as the staff refilled them, they straight away emptied the shelves until they had 2 carrier bags full. The management warned them, but they were just ignored, and carried on grabbing all the muffins. It spoiled the breakfast for some of the guests, as they were unable to get muffins, and didn't want to eat food that had been handled. I probably wouldn't stay here again for that reason.

This accommodation has no Aircon in the room and windows can’t be opened. On arrival it was 27 degrees in the room. A fan was provided but couldn’t sleep as too hot. Rooms are tired and carpet is awful. Book elsewhere for a better stay

Clean comfortable accessible

This was our 2nd stay. Very friendly staff. Made us very welcome and understood wheelchair requirements. Nice room, clean and plenty of room for a wheelchair user. Good accessible bathroom. Breakfast was very good. Hot and plenty of options. Bed was ok and only a standard double. Room was quite warm and as no option to open the window air conditioning would have been a nice option

Average Hotel

Handy location. Room needs air conditioning or at least a fan as it was far too warm. Was not a pleasant experience to see breakfast being cleared away as we were eating.
