Meridian Hotel

Could anyone tell me about the facilities at the Meridain Hotel ie is there a charge for the fitness room sauna and massage.

Also there has a lot been said about the food in the restaurant especially the evening meal as part of HB there have been a lot of bad reports saying the food is not very good some more opinions would be most grateful

There are recent reviews here.

To be honest most hotel food is only so,so, however, due to the wide variety available on the doorstep, at very reasonable prices, whether your HB or B%26amp;B, most people eat out.

thanks very much I notice you hail from Nuneaton I had a short 6 month stint whilst in the royal Artilery Junior leaders at Gamecock Barracks.

I am a true Geordie but now live in Nuneaton.

Know the barracks well and in fact was there on Sunday for the Gurkha Open Day.

Just backw today, stayed in the meridian. Dinners wernt great, just tied them the once though. Breakfast was fine. As for the fitness room, i know i seen it advertised but never found it at the hotel.

After reading the reviews, i was woried about the hotel but it was fine, and beter than other apeared.

I wil leave a proper review in time, sb was good. Local beer was great, and food in restaurant was good.

thanks for your reply look forward to reading your full report on the hotel and resort

We are in the same boat read so many different stories, I guess we are going to either love it or hate it. But one thing I am going to enjoy is the cheap beer.

all i can say is change if you can see the reviews they are all true its hole its dirty if you see the loo,s in the public areas I doubt you would want to use anythign in the SPA. dont touch the food unless you want the trotts all week i am serious go if you want but you will regret booking this hotel. I would prfer to have stayed in a tent than this hole never again. Also DON NOT have ANY valubles in the rooms they WILL get stolen look how many people have been robbed there ita the staff as well.

I have seen a few bad reports on the hotel but most of them are good those people never had any problems with the hotel you must of just been unlucky. We now know someone who has just come back from staying at the Meridian and loved the hotel.

HI

your hotel is just in front of ours we are at the arda, the meridian has certainly changed over the years and the new wing looks nice i dont know about the 3star side of it, but friends of ours said they had a great time there and no probs what so ever about the hotel, yes there will always be good and bad reports, but it depends on what you want out of your hotel, most people only use it for sleeping and showering. we go b and b as its so cheap to eat out but there are plenty of places to drink and eat near the meridian

have a great holiday.

Hi Don,

I stayed at The Meridian last June with my partner and young daughter and we all had a great holiday....... I can%26#39;t help you with the fitness room but I can tell you that the spa was excellent value for money( I had a good 3 hour pamper session) and that is where you will find the sauna......The room we stayed in was on the first floor overlooking the pool....It was clean and a good size for the 3 of us however the bathroom was a tad on the small side!!!!!

Food......We stayed H/B (only because it was cheeper than B%26amp;B!!!!) but we still budgeted for eating out....The breakfasts were great with plenty of choice but I%26#39;m sorry to say the one evening meal we had was awful and I was so glad that we had the funds to eat out.

Pool...... I%26#39;m not sure if you are aware BUT there is a charge for the use of sunbeds and brollies which was not a problem to us as I knew about it in advance....

Lifts...... Before we went I had read a lot of bad reports of the lifts getting stuck.....We never found this a problem but we tended to use the stairs or the lifts at the back of the hotel and not the central glass ones....If like us, you end up with a room on the first floor and decide to use the stairs you will not need the fitness room as the restaurant is on the top floor!!!!

Lastly, I would just like to point out that we normally stay at 3* hotels so maybe our expectations are not the same as those who are used to staying at 4* hotels.

I hope you have a great holiday

Kind regards
