    I will probably go again. Kenilworth hotels are not cheap and the OB is a tad over priced to my mind

    The room was very comfortable and I slept well but don't take a cat as you won't be able to swing it.

    The breakfast was very good. Unusually for me I had a cooked breakfast (full English) and the poached eggs were very nicely done, the bacon was thick and not surrounded by white residue (it was good quality). Breakfast was served in the bar which, at 08.00, did not smell of ale. Well done on that point. Cleanliness was excellent. The bar must be commented on. A decent choice of cask ales, all well kept and served with a head on. The bar was very busy so that tells you a lot.

    Overall, the price is too high for what you get. Old Kenilworth is a nice location and inside the pub it's sweet, but the rooms are not reflective of the more luxury price charged.

    This was absoluey fine for our 1 night stay. Room was clean, tidy, quiet and had all the basic comforts that we needed. Lovely full English breakfast served on Saturday morning, although there were also cold options. The bar itself is cosy and serves some nice beers and when we visited (late November) had a nice Christmassy atmosphere.

    I'm being very picky but: The milk didn't taste very fresh. It tasted like long life. The room had no lighting by the desk and mirror so very hard to see what one was doing at the desk. The fob key to get in after hours didn't work. The staff were pleasant but it felt like they were too busy to properly engage. Nobody asked how our stay was.

    Breakfast was good and I liked the sausages. The place was in an excellent location and the decor was lovely. It was really clean.

    Room was a little bit warm even though the heating was off. We did have to use the fan (provided) in the morning as it was so warm. Think the room we stopped in will probably be stifling in the summer.

    Location was good for where we wanted to be in the evening. Breakfast was amazing. The cooked breakfast is a must.

    It’s not a 4 star hotel as advertised. It’s your regular pub room so don’t expect anything other than a 2star bedroom and washroom. Very outdated furniture. There’s hardly any light in the room and it was difficult to get dressed. There’s no aircon so can get quite hot during summer. There’s no reception as you expect and the doors won’t open till 3pm check in time so if you arrive early, be prepared to wait out in the rain till somebody arrives to open the pub for you to check in. Check out too is sharp 10am with no facility to leave your luggage anywhere if you have a later flight.

    Location wasn’t that far from Warwick University. It’s ok for an overnight stay kind of bed and breakfast. The pub is buzzing at night.

    I phoned twice and E-mailed the hotel in advance to check they had our booking. The phone was never answered nor my E-mail.

    We were visiting Warwick Uni so Kenilworth was very convenient. I knew the town so was happy with the quiet & old. We stayed in room 15; furthest from the very popular pub end.
