I had an amazing relaxing night at the Urban rRetreat Hotel Grantham. The receptionist was lovely and even upgraded my room. I slept so well due to the feelings of luxury and safety. I look forward to returning in a couple of weeks. The hotel was very good value. Cheapest with own bathroom in Grantham though no one would ever know !1

Much better than expected!

Room (Board room 4 & 3) had 2 double beds and new bathroom. A/c doesn’t work No facilities: no restaurant or bar so room only. Long walking distance to town but no problems getting a taxi. Only annoyed about having paid £61 but could have got the room for £45.

Check-in was friendly and helpful and accommodating, the lobby area was spacious and open, my bedroom was large/spacious/clean. The bathroom was clean with an excellent shower and facilities. (NB: The hotel has recently acquired new owners and an extensive renovation has commenced and as a result not all areas are accessible/usable ...... YET!) There is no restaurant or room service available other than beverage facilities in the room. The grounds surrounding the hotel desperately need work and tidying up. HOWEVER, work is visibly in progress and the staff that are on site excel in customer service. The hotel is definitely on the way up! I would recommend it unreservedly👍👍👍👍

Nothing to do

No food options, no food or bar at all, not even breakfast. The hotel is like the one from the Shining, empty. Mind you it is very cheap. Certainly would have been a good hotel in it's heyday, but very much on it's last legs.

It was cheap, and the bed was comfy. That was all the pros. No food available as the restaurant has been closed for refurb, for quite some time now. The room hadn’t been used for a while, as there was a layer of dust on everything. Stains on the armchairs, a hole on the divan, and the ceiling had dull line for the rafters. I wasn’t expected 5 star, as it was cheap. But it felt really cheap.

Possibly the best VFM hotel I have stayed in!

Excellent short, one night stop here, arrived about 1800, check in was smooth and quick, staff helpful and friendly, only a short walk to the room. The room was massive clean and the bed very comfortable. It was Sunday night and there was a painter in the corridor decorating, but quiet and no bother. Room had all the expected; toiletries, towels, Wi-Fi, large tv and even a trouser press. We were up and out at 0600 the next morning to race in a local triathlon at Belvoir Castle, night porter was cheerful and polite as we left. It’s easy to find, just off the motorway, has a pub only a 2min drive away for food and Grantham and Belvoir Castle close by. VFM this has to be one of the best one night stops I’ve had in a hotel, it was less than £60 on hotels.com and I don’t have anything negative to say. Will definitely use again when I’m in the area.

Good location for using Fulbeck karting circuit

The room was clean and spacious. We had a boardroom. The staff were friendly. No food or drinks available at the hotel which we knew in advance. However plenty of places close by.

Arrived at 1am, got to the room and found it was not what we had booked. The room we required was not available. The shower only had one temperature and that was scolding hot so couldn’t be used. After speaking to reception (whom the staff were lovely couldn’t fault them) they was unable to provide us a different room that night but managed to change us to a family room for our second night stay. Rooms are dated, beds were comfortable.
