I Would Stay at The Bull Again
I chose The Bull because of its location. The Bull has a spacious carpark with two EV charging points. The hotel iscloae to both Westgate and Queensgate shopping centres. The room i had did not have a view, but that was of no importance because it had everything else including two comfortable chairs. I only ate breakfast at The Bull. The meal was good. I would stay there again

Average stay
Have been travelling for 4 months and stayed at over 50 4 star hotels and this is not up to 4 star standard. Proactive service has let them down. They have a carpark at the back which is a different postcode, and if you drive past the front of the hotel it advises you will receive a penalty notice. Not happy about this. No correspondence received from the hotel to explain how to reach the car park or that there are restrictions to cars in the streets around the hotel, which could easily be done through an automatically generated email at time of booking. Also whilst this is a lovely 1840’s reburbished building, there are no lifts. Not mentioned in hotels.com description and I had to hunt on their website afterwards to find any mention of this. We were on the second floor so had to haul our luggage up two flights of stairs. 4 star and no lift! Room was on the small side but big enough for two, beds are too hard and bathroom nothing like the pictures. TV is the size of a large computer screen! Location is good. Breakfast was also good but I had to wait 5 minutes for them to replenish some of the hot items. Need to be more proactive in this area. Overall the stay was ok but not on a par with other 4 star hotels stayed at in UK and Europe.

The Disappointing Stay with poor Service
Review Title: Disappointing Stay with Poor Service** I recently stayed at the Bull Peterborough and my experience was far from satisfactory. From the moment I arrived, I felt unwelcome. That’s made it an unpleasant start to the day. The staff at the front desk were indifferent and unhelpful, making the check-in process frustrating and time-consuming. The fact that I had a language barrier did not help the situation I felt very discriminate No effort was made to make my stay comfortable. The breakfast was another major disappointment. The options were limited, and the quality of the food was poor. The value of the money paid and the services delivered did not aligned with the hotel standard. I ended up not having breakfast on my last day of check out I couldn’t wait to leave the hotel. Overall, the lack of hospitality and the subpar breakfast left me regretting my choice to stay at Bull Peterborough I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a pleasant and comfortable sta

Lovely old hotel in the centre of Peterborough, we had some frustrations finding the car park, but staff were incredibly welcoming when we finally arrived. The cleaning team were literally leaving our room when we arrived and upon realising they had made our twin beds up as a double, quickly turned round and resolved it

Fawlty Tours
A deluxe room that wasn’t deluxe in 1960 when it was installed. (Half the advertised content of a deluxe was missing) Breakfast was a complete shambles, fawlty towers esq in incompetence & miss management. Arrived 0930 took 5 mins waiting to be approached. No clean tables No tea or coffee delivered to table (despite prompts) No toast delivered (despite prompts) No hot food, elements arrived out randomly, had to queue to only get half the items listed. No juice (all empty) No yoghurts (empty) No milk (empty) No fruit (empty) No pastries (empty) No bowls so couldn’t have fruit cereal or yoghurt anyway. Normally I’d blame management not the staff as you know how many people have booked breakfast but barring the chef dolling out the hot food, staff were headless. Only plus is bar is quite nice. Trades on its location, but I would not bother in future & stay further out. Was ready to discuss with reception but wasn’t even asked about stay on checkout.

Hotel was great central location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was good size and clean. Bathroom was looking a bit tired but clean. Room was roasting hot, with no way to turn radiator down or control heat. No local information available in room. Would’ve been useful to have menu for room service.
