Telegraph Hotel - Coventry

“Lovely building with lots of original features”

We visited the telegraph hotel recently for a friend's wedding. Started with a pre service drink in the downstairs bar (where I went as a youngster to place an advert! ). After the service we moved to the roof top terrace for Pimm's and canapes. The main meal was served in the wedding service room.… Plus

We visited the telegraph hotel recently for a friend's wedding. Started with a pre service drink in the downstairs bar (where I went as a youngster to place an advert! ). After the service we moved to the roof top terrace for Pimm's and canapes. The main meal was served in the wedding service room. Nice food. Later we left so it could be set up for the evening disco. After a lovely day there is only one criticism, it was always cold so we sat with jackets on. Aircon is good but it made everyone too cold so perhaps should have been turned off?

“A Very Good Choice for Coventry”

Good location—close to the Cathedral, a large shopping center with a number of restaurants, and the Lady Godiva statue. Also, this hotel is within an easy driving distance (30-45 minutes) of Stratford-upon-Avon. The breakfast here could be improved—the coffee drinks are made by a machine that doe… Plus

Good location—close to the Cathedral, a large shopping center with a number of restaurants, and the Lady Godiva statue. Also, this hotel is within an easy driving distance (30-45 minutes) of Stratford-upon-Avon. The breakfast here could be improved—the coffee drinks are made by a machine that doesn’t seem to work properly—but less expensive and tastier breakfasts can be found nearby. Food and drinks in the hotel bar are quite good, though, and the servers/bartenders aim to keep guests happy! Finally, the hotel doesn’t have a car park—the nearest 24-hour parking is an 8-10 minute walk from the hotel.

“Family afternoon tea .”

We recently attended afternoon tea at this hotel with a large family group.When we arrived the room had not been set out as requested. We enquired to see if this could be changed to what had been previously agreed. We were told this wasn't possible because other meals were to be served.No one else came in for food while our Parth was there. When the food arrived we had an issue. We had ordered 7 normal afternoon teas and one vegetarian afternoon tea.When it arrived we had 6 normal afternoon teas and one vegetarian afternoon tea.We spoke to our waitress and explained what had happened and why it had happened. It was due to the vegetarian plate just having that serving on while the other plates had servings on for two people. The other waitress in the room eventually brought the missing plate of sandwiches which had two servings on. She put the plate down and exclaimed this plate is for two in a very sullen manner.I again explained what the issue had been and why the serving had been short.After this we didn't see that waitress again! When we had our egg sandwiches mine had egg shells in it and another party member had hair in his. The scones tasted of baking powder and were quite dry. I emailed the hotel on returning home as I thought it should be brought to their attention to ensure this didn't happen again.I didn't raise it at the time as we didn't want to cause embarrassment. To date there has been no response from the hotel.

Had never been here before but came for afternoon tea which was ok the bread wasn't the freshest it was like the sandwiches had been made maybe a couple of hours before and was starting to go hard, also supposed to be free flowing tea and coffee, the afternoon tea was delivered to the table and that was it, no one came back to see if we wanted anymore drinks or to even as if everything was ok with the food, customer service was just not on point! Also when we decided to ask for the bill could we find anyone! We had to go looking for someone to get the bill for us, was just not worth £50 pound for this and we were thoroughly disappointed, we then decided to pop to the roof top bar which again failed in customer service, only one type of white wine and when we decided to have another drink so sign of the barman after about 10 minutes of waiting I found him at the back just looking over the balcony, so would I go back ? Unfortunately not !
