Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Arnos Manor Hotel offers spacious rooms, some featuring desirable amenities like bubble baths. The hotel's architecture gives off an impressive facade, and the location outside the low emissions zone with free parking is frequently appreciated, especially with the city centre accessible via a short bus ride. Guests often enjoy the convenience of nearby shops and a supermarket within walking distance. While some guests have noted issues such as a leaky roof in the courtyard breakfast room, the hotel remains a popular choice for its combination of value and location.

My room was a bit noisy, and the bed seemed like two singles pushed together. They separated easily during the night.

small bednoisy air conditioning
The double bed they advertised felt more like a large single. It felt cramped for my wife and me. The view wasn't pleasant either. We looked out onto a flat roof covered in noisy air conditioning units. I couldn't open the window because of the constant noise from these units, made the room too hot, and my sleep suffered.
