Hotels with Breakfast in Bradford

We arrived on Saturday 1st of October around 2pm having driven up from Birmingham. We checked in ( having booked a superior room) which apparently entitled us to a free coffee, a bottle of water and a free biscuit during our stay. Upon arrival we asked if we could eat in the restaurant as we were hungry. We were told it was shut, then it was open, then it was shut, nobody seemed to actually know. We wandered in and were seated and told by someone ( who I think must have been their first day) that MAYBE we could eat. It was getting a little ridiculous by now. YES, indeed we could eat. Great. He came back to take our order having not given us a menu. Eventually someone else who seemed a little more clued up gave us scruffy photocopies of about the five dishes we could choose from, when i mentioned the menu I had seen in reception seemed a little more varied he replied in a pleasant but not even vaguely apologetic manner ” oh yes we haven't got a proper chef in so we have a very limited menu”. Hmm, right, so we ordered a pizza and some fries to share with a couple of soft drinks. In fairness we didn't have to wait too long and it was tasty enough and filled a hole. We then negotiated a long queue in reception to get the lift up to our room. EXCEPT WE COULDN'T. Because the door TO the lift would not open with the key card we had. Neither would it open for the receptionist with HER key.. she then got us another which got us through the door to the lift, lift safely deposited us on our floor, we got to our room, only to find our key wouldn't open our door. Our door to our ”superior” room. Great. Except it wasn't because now my other half had to go down back to the reception and explain this, a task not made any easier by what seemed, on first glance, to be half of Spain populating the reception area. Never mind, no matter, so now he has to run up seven flights of stairs to get back to our room because he couldn't get into the lift. Ok, right, so NOW we are into our room, which did not turn out to be in any way superior and exactly what you would expect in any budget hotel and not even as spacious. It had all the basics, just soap and shower gel in dispensers ( not very superior) it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The tv was a night mare to negotiate and one of the lights did not work. No matter, we only changed and slept in the room. All in all the visit was pretty much comedy and, while we didn't pay a fortune for it things that work ( like room keys) and people who knew what was open or shut ( like restaurants and menu details) MAY have been nice. I knew we should have done Premier Inn for less because the Jury's DEFFO in on this, and we found it guilty on several counts. Shame.

We booked a twin accessible room using IHG points. When we checked in we were told it is not available - its been allocated to someone else. It was a very fraught check in - husband wanted to punch someone & I was on the verge of tears. Why do they think we booked an accessible room - for fun???? I NEED an accessible room because I am disabled. We were also 2.5 hours from home. To give him his due Jay on reception asked us to wait while he checked things out. He offered us a drink from the bar but as hubby thought we might have to drive home he refused. We also had plans with son to go out to eat that evening. Eventually Jay said he had a double accessible room which we gratefully accepted. The window in the room, was in full sun, did not even open a crack which on a day where temps had reached 34 degrees was not ideal. We rang reception and they said they would get us a fan, which then had an electrical fault and only worked if you wiggled the wire - not ideal and pretty dangerous in my opinion. The ‘included breakfast” was a joke as we were told there was nothing hot but a continental breakfast. As a T1 diabetic who counts carbs croissants, muffins, cereal is not ideal so it was just banana for me. As the hotel was full it was also very busy and no tables available - took my banana and bailed out. Car park was close by & a reasonable price. There were a couple of restaurants close by. Aircon in the bar was lovely and the complimentary glass of wine was very good. It was quiet during the night and the accessible bathroom was great. I still can’t believe that they allow you to book an accessible room then give it to other customers.

The hotel offers great value for money. It is located just off the m606 motorway and offers direct access to Bradford or Leeds with M62 to Manchester also available in minutes. There is a fairly large car park and I found a decent space for each night of a long stay. As others mentioned the rooms are quite large for a budget hotel and I found mine to be pristine each time (cleaning standard is very good). There was very little road noise considering it’s location close to the motorway. Everything else functioned well and always had a good nights sleep. The security is good as you need room key card to access the part of the building with the rooms. I did not have breakfast so cannot comment but there is a large area to sit so will never have queues. The bar area was sizeable too and seemed to be well staffed. Staff were excellent throughout , from a fast checkin to being helpful when needed. Unrelated to the hotel but there is an Amazon locker situated outside as well as another brand whose name I cannot recall.

We were due to stay at Ibis Budget Bradford this weekend for the boxing. We booked 2 rooms on the 14th July - one for 1 night and one for 2 nights. We are now on the 4th September. You would have thought the rooms would have been solidly booked at this point - especially when we received several confirmation emails from both booking.com and IBIS. We are travelling for 2 and half hours and over 100 miles one way to stay here. My friends arrived to stay on their first night (3rd September) only to be told that the bookings don't exist on their system. Unhelpful at 9pm at night upon their arrival. After a very unhelpful and rather ignorant receptionist ”attempted” to locate the booking (knowing full well that they had cancelled it to sell the room to someone else at a higher price) they told them that they would have to seek other accomodation and popped them up at their ”sister site” however it was much higher in price which was paid for by my friends as opposed to the Ibis for their error. We are due to travel up this evening to watch the boxing with our friends and are absolutely FURIOUS at how we have all been treated. I contacted the hotel this morning only to speak with the most arrogant, vacuous rude man who just told me that it's not them and that I either call booking.com or contact the manager on Monday with no apology or anything. We have no option now but to travel back the 100 miles after the boxing or fork out for a £600+ room. I definitely would not book here again, they are happy to take your money and throw you out at the first instance of making an extra buck or two from someone else - and from the other reviews on here it looks like nobody else pulls their weight at the premises either. Lets just hope that people read through these reviews and don't want to take the risks like we did. IBIS BUDGET BRADFORD, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

We always have a great experience at this hotel and the welcome is always warm and over and above what we expect - Thank you Angela and Nirvanna for your excellent service and attention to detail! I would definitely recommend this to any professional staying overnight on business as we are, or if you are staying for leisure, to explore beautiful Bradford, city of culture 2025 and surrounding areas- Huge thanks to the team and we will be sure to stay again!!

We attended an event at the Bradford Hotel and although the event was great and enjoyed by many .... the venue left a lot to be desired. There was only two bar staff on the main bar at which people were queuing for at least half to three quarters of an hour!! The meal, at best, was of poor quality and only half filled the plate. The only saving grace was the desert which was cheesecake and was edible. The room itself was packed to bursting point and the waiting staff just were a shambles. All I can say is thank God we didnt have to stay there overnight. Very poor show Bradford Hotel. Shame.

The restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that is sure to impress. From the moment you enter, the ambiance is inviting, with tasteful decor and a warm atmosphere. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent service throughout the meal. The menu features a diverse selection of dishes, each prepared with high-quality ingredients and presented beautifully. The flavors are well-balanced, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. Highlights include the signature appetizers and the delectable main courses, which cater to various dietary preferences. Additionally, the dessert selection is a perfect way to conclude the meal, with options that are both indulgent and satisfying. The restaurant also boasts an impressive wine list, complementing the food perfectly. Overall, this establishment is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience, whether for a special occasion or a casual night out. The combination of great food, attentive service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a standout choice in the area. I highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a table at this delightful venue. Greashma & Alleesha were amazing tonight thank you for your wonderful attentive service and we will see you again soon

My 3rd time staying in this hotel this time in room 319 the room was good and bed was comfortable massive bathroom. Only down side to this stay was the fire alarm going off at 6am in the morning. No view from the window and the bathroom door didn't shut as it was hanging off the hinges. But I'd use the hotel again

On arrival, we thought the exterior of the building was lovely, but it did not continue inside. At reception, when we checked in, we asked to book a table for dinner. The receptionist said that we would not need to book and could eat at any time before 10.30 pm. The lift was out of order, so we had to carry out luggage up 2 flights of stairs whilst looking for our room. The corridors were tatty, the bannisters were wobbly, and when we got to the room, it smelt of cigarettes. We had booked a double and were given a family room. The beds were comfortable, and the linen was clean. However, the bathroom was tatty with marks in the bath and sink. The light above the vanity areawas absolutely fithy, and the toilet brush needed to be condemned as it was disgusting. When we went to the bar, we were ignored and had to wait to be served even though no one else was waiting. We were told the restaurant was full and that we could eat in the bar area, however, the food would be at least half an hour as they were busy. We were given a menu, but after waiting about 15 minutes for our order to be taken, we left and ate at a local pub. This hotel is in a lovely location but it is obvious that it is not run efficiently and the staff need training. We will not be returning.
