Usually stop at the usual premier inns, etc so it was a really nice experience at a proper hotel. Very big and a lot of seating around the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking available, just need to register at reception. Delicious breakfasts too (overdid the HP)!!
It is beautiful. Room is nice and big. Quite area ..staff are amazing and very helpful and supportive especially Shirley cant thank you enough.. this my 2nd time going here i will definitely go again
One night in and so far so good. Easy check in and staff polite. Very grand, old, hotel which explains occasional rumble and things being moved in the bowels of the hotel. Like an airplane flying over, noticeable but not too annoying. The shower has been the most powerful of all the hotels I've stayed and lovely hot water, not limited as may other hotels do.

We visited family a lot in Bradford this hotel is were we will be staying again.lovely hotel best we have stayed Bradford.everything about was lovely for us including all staff
Another wonderful stay at our favourite UK hotel. We were in room 239 which has a jacuzzi bath and four poster bed. An excellent breakfast too, cooked by David the hotel manager. Thank you all. We'll be back.
Shirley is an excellent staff member who is very friendly and extremely helpful. She always goes above and beyond and is very attentive to detail. If I have any issues with the meeting rooms whilst training she always resolves them and is definitely a gem to the company. Shirley should get a raise! Thank you Shirley for being amazing

For supreme comfort, consider the loft-style bedrooms on the penthouse floor at this past winner of the Best Small Venue in Yorkshire award.
Visited Bradford to attend an event and stayed overnight at the Midland Hotel. We entered the hotel through the door from the car park and it was like being transported back to a bygone era. The original decor and flooring as well as props like baggage trollies with old suitcases made it very atmospheric. The hotel retains this charm throughout with magnificent ball rooms and chandeliers a plenty. Our room was large with high ceilings and a city view. We had dinner and breakfast and both were superb.
Built in the late 1880s, this elegant Victorian hotel is a 9-minute walk from both the National Media Museum and the Alhambra Theatre.
