Thrapston Vacation Packages

Couldn’t ask for a more central location. Room was perfectly sized (though I was only a single traveler). Lobby was a super comfy cafe/lounge area. Snacks/amenities available 24 hours. Laundry onsite easy to use with contactless payment. Small exercise room (think 2-3 people at a time) but was enough for a good stretch. Room had kettle and toaster on the counter, Nespresso style maker, microwave oven and induction cooktop. Using the toaster (and not even burning the bread) was enough to trigger the smoke alarm (so turn on the exhaust fan before you toast and let run a few minutes after toast has popped). There are dishes, sharp knives, cutting board, dish towels for use. Even an automatic dishwasher!! Fridge had a small freezer compartment, and was so helpful during the warmer days of summer to make ice for the water bottle. Supermarket within a block so it was very easy to dine in-room, though the cafe was always busy and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. A busway was steps from the front door and could easily access other parts of town or the train station. All in, this is easily a home away from home, and made the weeklong trip for a campus program that much more homey and comfortable.

Nice hotel clean, friendly staff good food options nearby. Very walkable

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing for several reasons. The parking situation feels extremely misleading. We drove into the car park and moved the car again less than an hour later, yet were charged £20. The charge applies per 24 hours, but this was not made clear when I booked the hotel. You only find out after entering the car park, by which point you've already committed. I have since noticed that this information now appears on the hotel's details, but it wasn't there at the time of booking. Hygiene standards in the eating area were also concerning. While guests were eating, a cleaner was vacuuming around the dining area and even using the vacuum on the tables. The tables were not wiped down afterwards. I raised this with staff, but nothing was done. Given that the hotel is dog-friendly, this lack of basic cleanliness and potential cross-contamination is unacceptable and raises concerns about the overall hygiene standards throughout the hotel. Breakfast offered a very limited selection and was overpriced for the quality and variety available. The rooms were uncomfortably hot, with no air conditioning, making it difficult to sleep. To make matters worse, the bed was very uncomfortable. Overall, I feel the hotel represents poor value for money and falls short in several key areas, including transparency, cleanliness, comfort, and guest experience.

Very comfortable and clean place.. super close to the city and it has parking in the property so that is a big plus.
