Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Midland Hotel Bradford from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the Midland Hotel Bradford for its period property appearance, sometimes described as having the grandeur of a London hotel, and its prime location in the center of Bradford, offering easy access to attractions like Saltaire via a short Uber ride. The spacious rooms are frequently mentioned, with comfortable beds and excellent showers, though some guests have noted that the paint could use touching up in places. The breakfast is another highlight, featuring a reasonable selection of food including a very good choice of fruit salads.

The staff were helpful and friendly , nothing was too much trouble.
The room was unbearably hot , even with two fans provided. BOTH fans were very noisy , so I could not leave them on overnight. The room also lacked air conditioning , which I expected. I found the fixtures and fittings throughout the hotel in need of updating.
