Gomersal Park Hotel

Gomersal Park Hotel

8/10 Good
"Only stayed for the night, but it was clean and quiet and functional. Rooms were a little tired decor wise if you are concerned about having the best appearance. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Bar and food prices a little on the higher side. Didn't check the pool facilities as you only have a limited time where they are free to guests. No noise from the motorway which is in close location."

"I ve called the reception two times before arrival and both of the receptionist were so professional and kind. The gentleman (I think night team) that check us in was very polite friendly and efficient fast. The hotel looks old but lovely in the same times and room is very big and spacious. We only stay one night but of course the room could have more maintenancebut for us is not been a problem while we were only there for one night."

"The breakfast was excellent for a mid range hotel. Very wide choice of cereals and seeds/nuts. Nicely cooked hot selection and good bread for toasting. Also granola with berries and yoghurt. There are good views from the rooms but the air con is variable. Too hot in the reception area and the general decor could be improved. Parking is good though."
