Best Hotels in Holymoorside and Walton, United Kingdom

I have used this place a few times for groups. This time they really fell short. There is no one in charge. Very difficult to speak to a manager. Issues with the restaurant. Short staffed. Food was too salty. Soya sauce based dishes were not edible. No one asked when sent back unfinished if there was an issue. Only robots delivering food and very inexperience staff. Couldn't order more drinks in good time. Breakfast is buffet and is very basic. Ok. It is clean. However, for £250 a room I think that it is overpriced. Thank goodness for Trip.com much better rate 2 days before the event. Baths do not drain. Taps and fittings are loose or not finished properly. Poor customer service overall, despite having 5 rooms in our group and dinner for 10. Said they would call me back. Which they have not. That was after speaking to a man who said that he was not the manager, had only worked there for 8 weeks, yet told me that I was not familiar with the service industries! Such a shame. Will have to find somewhere else next time. Not a hint of a smile or an apology or anything to say that he would feed back. 🤷

Like all other easy hotels, there are no desks, no chairs inside the room. But I can’t complain about a room at this price. I simply had food by the window I sat down on the floor. The room was clean enough. It is strategically located. It’s only roughly a 10 minute easy walk (just walk straight down the road!) from the coach and the train station. I thought they would charge for luggage storage, but they didn’t! Gave me a tag right away. Such a lovely reception!

Lovely place though a little dated

Needed convenient stopping point from Surrey to Chestefield, one night, for a funeral. Location ideal. Despite proximity to M1 itself, road noise was not excessive. Receptionist was really welcoming; gave me a choccie bar and bottle of water. You can stroll to the services for Mcdonald's or Costa - and WH Smith etc, (if open). . The overall decor is a bit 'tired' but everything was clean, bed fresh, coffee/tea facilities. Would have preferred the radio to be fitted by the bedside not table across the room (!). Freeview TV quite adequate for one night........ Bedroom was huge (guess it would double up as a family room at times) - and possibly I could have taken my dog with me, in which case the extra space was great. For functionality cannot fault.

So after reading other reviews I was a little unsure what to expect after booking this hotel to be honest, however we were pleasantly surprised. We had a double room on the 7th floor which was very roomy, extremely comfortable king size bed, clean and tidy with everything needed (towels, kettle, iron, hairdryer) ample size bathroom which needed a little TLC but again was clean and tidy. Admittedly the let down was the breakfast that was included in the booking, this needs some attention as the food quality isn’t great and defo needs to be warmer with some more choice but all in all, did the job. Last time we stayed in Sheffield we at another hotel that had rooms like rabbit hutches and no windows and this hotel was better and will stay here again for a weekend when we are next in Sheffield

I loved this hotel. The decor was tasteful, staff was extremely friendly. Rooms were cosy and clean. Had some drinks and snacks at their bar and the cocktails were really nice. Staff were attentive and polite. The dinner menu in the restaurant was really nice too. Breakfast became busy and I think the staff were struggling to keep up because I had to wait a while before glasses were stocked to get juice and milk was replenished for my tea. My only gripe about the room was lack of electrical sockets near the bedside tables to barge the phones. Would definitely stay here again.

The room /bed great, Other guests the problem, family 5 arrived 12 midnight, back & forth BANGING CAR DOORS each time, then 3.15am their car alarm goes off, night staff phoned her and her reply ”its always doing that” My suggestion you have LARGE notice outside and in rooms (as they doo at airports) Please close you doors silently as others are sleeping 24 hours -- some travelers sleep in late so it applies in day light hours too. Receptionist Katie was very helpful re where we could have breakfast and about voucher, which we bought, good value

I came to stay at your hotel because my mother is sick in a nearby hospital. All I needed was a quiet place to sleep. When I arrived the reception staff couldn’t find my booking. The key card barely worked, having to be swiped at least 10 times to get into the room. The room clearly hadn’t been decorated since the 90s, which meant it lacked modern convinces like a plug socket near the bed to charge my phone, or more importantly air con. I had stupidly assumed being in the 21st century and charging not a small amount of money for the night, these would at least be standard. During the middle of this heatwave it was positively uncomfortable. I think I would have struggled to sleep just with that, but the noise made it pretty impossible. The hotel backs into a major road, as many do. But I have never stayed in one before where it sounded like I was sitting in the middle of the road. It was so load that despite the terrible heat I ended up closing the window. Not that easy as the window handle was missing! This unfortunately didn’t really make it any quieter. When the sleepless night was over I went for a shower to try and revive myself, but the water pressure was so low it was not exactly refreshing. All in all the place needs pulling down and starting again.

It belongs to the old village hotel, but the room and traffic are convenient, the price is affordable, and the surrounding environment is good.
