“This is a great hotel that combines Victorian Midland Railway grandeur with contemporary comforts. The bathroom was really nicely done out and the bed was really comfortable. The breakfast was very well done with well cooked meats, and cereals also available. The only slight room for improvement, would be when preparing the room, consider not leaving the radiator on full blast, as it's really hot when you enter (and wastes energy costing money).”

“Just had a lovely break at this hotel very good value package staff all very friendly and helpful and the place was clean. We were late for afternoon tea and they even did a very nice tray of tea and goodies for our room. Breakfast was good and dinner was even better. The only down side was the position of our room which backed on to the service area and we were disturbed all night by fans and extraction units from the kitchen. We will stay again if in the area but make sure we ask for a quieter room.”

“My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hallmark Hotel for just one night. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay in this luxurious hotel. I am unsure whether to give it a four star or five star ranking, let me explain below. Pros: friendly and hard working staff, affordable paid parking right by the hotel, excellent breakfast, very nice atmosphere which was coincidentally aided by the numerous Christmas decorations throughout the hotel, clean rooms and bed linen, the clever access card system, good pricing and conveniently located by the train station and the taxi stop. Cons: our room was poorly ventilated, which was made worse by the sliding window that was very hard to open. The double bed was placed against the wall, which means climbing over my girlfriend (pardon the expression) to get in and out of bed. The mattress was rather hard, which isn't easy on sensitive backs. The shower wasn't very powerful, but that really isn't an issue. These points aside, the Hallmark is a great hotel and well recommend.”

“This is my favourite hotel. It's very classic and the staff are friendly. It can be a bit on the dear side but if you can get good deal, I would highly recommend it. There is free parking and a kitchen, bar and restaurant. The beds are comfy. The pillows are a bit in the thin side for me but they happily provide you with extra pillows and fresh towel.”

“Attended a business conference here and found the facilities to be really good. Beautiful building with historical features maintained. Staff friendly and efficient at refilling coffee, tea & snacks. Lunch was hearty with a veggie option available. Be aware that parking is tight in front of the hotel. However, you can also park at the sister hotel Hallmark Inn.”
