Great stay with my wife and friends
Our stay at the Clock Tower Hotel in July was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel warmly welcomed, with a seamless check-in process and personal touches that set the tone for a memorable visit. Traveling with my wife and a group of friends, we found the hotel's central location ideal, allowing us to explore the city's attractions with ease. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and offered a blend of modern comfort with the charm of the historic building. The views from our windows, especially the sight of the iconic clock tower, were breathtaking. Every detail, from the high-quality linens to the luxurious bathroom amenities, was thoughtfully curated to ensure a relaxing stay. Dining at the hotel's restaurant was a highlight of our trip. The menu was diverse, and the dishes were expertly prepared, with local ingredients taking center stage. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar, where we spent our evenings sipping cocktails while taking in the stunning panoramic views of the city. The hotel’s service stood out the most. Every request was met with a smile, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group, whether it was arranging activities or providing local recommendations. The Clock Tower Hotel truly exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return. It was the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and local charm.

Lovely hotel great location for the Palace Theatre, not to far from the city centre (15mins walk to the centre 18mins to the corn exchange) a number of bars andeateries along the way. We drove in and parked at the local NCP car park (pay at the hotel and get a discounted rate £24 for 24hrs) the car park is a very short walk from the hotel and very secure unless you have your car parked there then you cannot get access inside.

Grand, gorgeous, funky and fun
Absolutely loved our stay. Gorgeous grand building and rooms, but still warm, welcoming and fun. Lively bar with brilliant DJs playing soul, disco and jazz the weekend we stayed. Breakfast was delicious, although busy so service was slow, but not really a problem as such a lovely place to hang out. Kids enjoyed playing table tennis and pool. The only small downside, for light sleepers, was the noise from Oxford Road.

Room 279 was very warm and unfortunately the air conditioning was very noisy which disturbed our sleep. Otherwise the rest of the hotel is beautiful, the bar was great and the breakfast was perfect.
