Great Staff & Anniversary Touches, But Needs TLC
We had a lovely stay at the Forest of Arden Hotel & Spa. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the thoughtful gesture of a welcome plate of desserts and a personalised note in our room for our anniversary made it even more special. The lobby had a lovely scent, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. We also made use of the pool, which was nice and refreshing. However, while we appreciated the hospitality, the room itself felt a bit dated, with some paint chipped off the walls. Additionally, we were disappointed that the bar near the lobby closed before midnight, leaving us with no other options to enjoy a drink. Room service also stopped at 10:30 pm, which limited our late-night choices. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we’d stay again and recommend it due to its close proximity to the city and the N.E.C. There’s room for improvement in the amenities and room maintenance.

The bed was one of the most uncomfortable Ive slept on. It had a feather mattress topper and the feathers were in a mound at the bottom of the bed. Terrible night trying to sleep...

Could be better
We stayed here for 3 nights as a couple, our room was lovely & the bed was really comfortable. However there were 2 bath robes hanging up, one was fluffy & soft, but the other one felt like you were wearing a bit of old carpet, wasnt comfortable at all. The tea making facilities in the room were great, the espresso machine was a nice added extra but there was only decaffeinated pods available... absolutely pointless. The hotel was generally clean & tidy apart from there were trays of food left in the hallway for 5+ hours. We went to the "fine dining" restaurant in the hotel on our first night, it was completely empty & now we know why. Fine dining it is not. Paying £37 for 3 tiny lamb cutlets & it coming with chunky chips is not fine. The burgers were lovely but certainly not worth £25, didnt even come with a bit of salad! We ate in the relaxed bar by the pool the rest of the time which was much more relaxed. The pool & jacuzzi are lovely, theres a sauna & steam room too but unfortunately it was closed one of the days we were there which was disappointing. The bar staff were great, quick to be served. Breakfast buffet had a huge selection & tasted lovely but we had to wait to be seated each day as the staff were mostly down in the seating area

Fantastic stay! Lovely breakfast. It was my son’s birthday and he mentioned this when checking in. When we arrived back in the room there was a birthday surprise waiting for him. Very thoughtful and lovely touch.

Gem of a hotel
We were looking for a not crazy expensive hotel that’s drivable to the NEC and were very pleasantly surprised. Staff were super friendly and efficient, leafy surroundings are beautiful, the room was roomy and comfortable, and the food top notch. Recommend the buffet breakfast. Only regrets: we couldn’t stay longer and there’s not a huge difference between the deluxe and superior room if you’re thinking of upgrading.
