Mercure Bradford Bankfield Hotel 3 estrellas

Crossflatts Over 50's went for a Christmas meal, there were about 30 of us. Right from the beginning this hotel gave our committee members the run around in relation to us providing entertainment. We were told the entertainer had to have her equipment PAT tested, which she did, then our money was paid in full, once our money had been handed over we were then told that our entertainer had to carry her own Public Liability Insurance, she then said it was too expensive for her. We were not offered our money back and yet, legally, we were entitled to demand all money back. Unfortunately the people who collected and paid the money were not aware that under Contract Law, they were within their rights to ask for the money back. However, due to the closeness of Christmas a decision was taken that it was felt that the club would be unable to book anywhere else due to Christmas. Unfortunately from there on in, things went even further downhill. The room where we sat was very cold and the heating was off. The starter for most people was disgusting, the portion sizes were extremely small, the pate was really good but only received two very small pieces of toast and one lady shared her left over pate with the rest of her eating companions at their table, whereupon they were sat at and put it on the bread roll that handed out by staff. The main meal was even worse. The turkey option - the meat was overcooked and was very dry. The sausage in bacon, the sausage was of bargain basement quality and tasted vile. We were given two sprouts! (and those were rubbery, tasted as if they were cooked from the freezer), two roast potatoes - dry inside, not crispy, two small carrots, stuffing - inedible. Salmon - undercooked, very meager in size, one lady who had fish had to ask for extra sauce as the sauce on the plate was insufficient for the dry undercooked fish. Veg was overcooked, soggy and not one person ate all of their mains, despite the inconsequential portions. Dessert, best part of the meal with the exception of those who had the Christmas Pudding. This was a very small square piece of pudding that was so thin you could virtually see right through it small amount of custard accompanied the Christmas pudding. The chocolate dessert, tasted nice even though everyone could tell that it had just been defrosted as it was watery. Rather than us not have any entertainment, a decision was made that the clubhouse would be opened up with the entertainment booked to our clubhouse and a much more merrier time was had by all!! Without Mercure Hotels badly attempt at cooking a Christmas meal. Needless to say, we will not be booking for this year. Several members said that they felt like they were in a fish bowl because people were coming to some of the doors and kept looking at all of us.

Great stay and talking to maintenance guy what a job he's doing old building ive done it myself for 59 years honestly respect the old building its part the heart of it thank you to all staff and we will return comfortable sleep and breakfast was perfect

Me and my friend came for afternoon tea for my birthday treat and it was delicious plenty of sandwiches and cakes to choose from. A lovely lady called Rudi served us and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommend the afternoon tea if you are visiting the hotel.

Un hotel recomendable porque sales del ruido y lo poco que hacer en Bradford y aquí tienes opción de campo, naturaleza, canales y la cercanía de Bingley, pequeño pueblo en el que siempre encuentras un sitio donde tomar un buen café, una cerveza o comer en algún italiano interesante. Las habitaciones están bien, quizás un poco faltas de mejoras en las instalaciones pero bien (tener el tubo de la ducha con cinta aislante y despegada no da la mejor impresión). El personal, agradable! Buen desayuno pero no para volverse loco.

Hotel con relación calidad/precio aceptable, en medio de la nada pero con autobus en la puerta del hotel que te deja en Bradford en 5 min y por 2,40 libras. Habitaciones aceptablemente limpias pero con moqueta, baños no demasiados limpios pero aceptables y excelente trato dado por el personal de recepción.
