Thomas James Hotel

Convenient location; a little noisy; comfortable bedroom; tight bathroom. Amazing value for money!

No great at all

Great value in town centre, friendly staff. PS. Need new batteries for tv remote 😄

City centre location above a busy pub meant that there was a lot of noise both inside and outside making sleeping difficult. Toilet was broken meaning it couldn’t be flushed properly.

Its exactly everything i needed for my trip. Close to town, comfortable. The staff were lovely and the continental brrakfast was just what i needed in the mornjng.

The staff are superb, cooked breakfast is very good, rooms need refreshing but are suitable for my needs, I've stayed several times and always had a good night sleep.

Can’t complain Very cheap

We stayed one night to break up a long drive. Booked on spur of moment. When checked through reviews i wondered if mistake. The lady who checked us in was lovely and friendly. The room was perfectly adequate for 1 night. Was very clean,bed linen spotless. Comfy beds the bathroom was possibly brand new. Cooked breakfast was very nice and had lovely sausages which isnt always the case.Was noisy as on busy st and trains over bridge. But slept well. Could do with some hooks on backs of doors,some of hotel could do with redecorating and new carpet. But at 48.00 including 2 English breakfasts whats not to love. Would stay again

The place is dated. However it was clean, and all staff were very friendly. Easy walking distance to the city centre.

Ideal for a night on the piss

I stayed at the Thomas James Hotel in Leamington Spa for a solo trip over a couple of days, and honestly, I’m not sure what the negative reviews are about. The bed was so comfortable and my room was surprisingly spacious for a solo traveller, with a big separate bathroom that was immaculate. Everything was spotless and tidy. The amenities were thoughtful too – full tea and coffee station (with biscuits!), big TV, hairdryer, iron, and even an extension plug which is always handy. Breakfast was included, and while it’s continental, I was impressed with the huge variety: pastries, cereals, fruit, bread, bagels, jams, spreads and more. My only small suggestion would be to offer wholemeal/grain options and some alternative milks – it’s just a personal preference, but it could make a difference for others. The staff were genuinely lovely and helpful, and the value for money is excellent. The location couldn’t be better – just three minutes from the station, right on the high street, and a short walk to restaurants, cafes, shops, the Pump Rooms and even the cinema. Next time I come to Leamington, I know exactly where I’ll be staying.

I booked a room with a 4 poster bed, it wasnt. When i said and showed booking clearly stating 4 poster bed, i was told, its not my job. The shower tray floods so had to keep turning shower off. Went down for breakfast and told no cooked breakfast on Monday, when I tried to explain that there was nothing during the booking process nor when checking regarding no cooked breakfast, I was told, by the rudest, arrogant, ignorant person I have encountered.....its not my job. The toaster wouldn't work so told by mardy arse that .....you guessed it, not my job. When i finally got to talk to the manager to explain the issues, mardy arse launched at my by shouting in front of everyone that it was, apparently, my problem. I asked her to walk away, the manager, in true Fawlty Towers style said she was learning English..... The room was very noisy due to overlooking a very busy, noisy junction and nearby railway line. This place is 2 star at best and ideal for travellers who dont need a decent breakfast, dont need sleep and those that, god forbid want a smile.

Provide a good value room for the night, comfy bed, decent shower and breakfast for single traveller. Some room not for light sleepers with noisy junction and trains.

Fantastic 3 nights… very friendly staff and great hospitality.. breakfast lovely

The room was very small for a double room wall paper was ripped head board was hanging off the wall and you couldn't swing a cat in the shower room carpet was grubby and the chair in the room was well worn. Curtains had seen better days and if they had been a fire in the stair well there was no means of escape. The staff where pleasant and that would be the only positive from this visit.

It was

Cheap and cheap for a reason. Staff are friendly enough. Booked a certain room but was given a different room on arrival. The room was very basic and a bit shabby but I have to say it was clean. The room I had was on the front with single glazed windows and the noise from the street was unbelievable until the early hours. The breakfast was good, freshly cooked. Overall you get what you paid for but don’t expect much sleep! This was a Friday night so maybe different in the week.

Was unclear where to check in as main entrance was locked, had to call to be told to check in through the restaurant/pub next door. Was given a key and told where the room was, up some steep thin stairs, difficult to carry bag up even though it was only small. Room looked clean upon arrival although after setting items down and having a look the chair was disgustingly dirty and so was the remote covered in dirt and food. Chair has dirty sweaty stains on it so was put off from sitting on it to do my hair for an event. Bed possibly had bedbugs as i woke up with bites over me. The curtain in the room didnt keep light out and the pole that held it to thw side nearly came out the wall. No curtain in the bathroom window so was awkward to shower as people could look in from winfows adjacent. Water was very difficuot to get the temperature correct either too cold or scolding hot. Everytime the toilet was sat on the lid would make a clanking sound like it was going to fall off or break. Breakfast was supposed to be included but it took so long to be seen by anyone i gave up and dropped my keys in the box and walked out. Not worth the money i paid even though it was the cheapest I found in the area. Only good thing about it was that it was a very close walk to the train station where parking was also available at a cost

Great hotel! Excellent price and lovely staff. Very easy to check in and great central location.Also lovely breakfast in the morning. Only downside was noise from traffic outside and as it was very warm we needed to leave the window open. All in all would highly recommend!

hotel above a pub and near to the train lines. Was quite noisy at night with people on street outside and then trains early in the morning. Was supposed to have 4 poster bed but none. Rooms outdated but clean. OK for basic nights sleep. Staff pleasant.
