We stayed at the hotel for my husbands birthday, I’d booked a room with a trackside view and balcony and this was well worth the extra money in my opinion, although you can get excellent views from the terrace in the box bar lounge. The rooftop bar was also amazing and we were there when it was the solar eclipse, it was a shame the bar wasn’t actually operational when the area was open although we just went down to the box bar bought drinks and brought them up to the rooftop I had mentioned when booking that it was my husband birthday and there was some birthday goodies in the room for him which was a lovely touch plus a drinks voucher each for the bar The room was lovely very spacious, great aircon, there was also a fridge, the bathroom was amazing and it was all so clean. We had dinner in the box bar which was fab and very reasonably priced, they also gave us a free glass of Prosecco each due to the birthday we were celebrating All the communal areas of the hotel are amazing and the staff are so friendly and welcoming What totally made our stay was the he fact that there were two track days when we stayed, motorbikes the day we arrived and cars the day we were leaving and sitting on our balcony watching them go past the finish line was brilliant All in all I would 100% recommend this hotel, you won’t be disappointed

“Reasonable stay”

When checking in my room smelled of cigarette smoke. Asked for new room and staff very helpful . Room nice, modern , good bed, pillows and towels etc. good air con. Bar area nice with great terrace overlooking the Silverstone start / Finish straight . Food ok but way overpriced.

“Good but could be much improved”

As others have said location is amazing right on the starting grid. Parking is easy, free and plenty of spaces. Hotel is quite modern, has a large F1 merchandise shop underneath it. Although check in was friendly it was very annoying that our room was not ready until 3:15 and even then, the cleane… Mais

As others have said location is amazing right on the starting grid. Parking is easy, free and plenty of spaces. Hotel is quite modern, has a large F1 merchandise shop underneath it. Although check in was friendly it was very annoying that our room was not ready until 3:15 and even then, the cleaner was still vacuuming in the room when we finally got our key. Also annoying but not the hotels fault was the offer of a room upgrade in the app. However when we arrived earlier to hopefully get it we were informed the room type was not suitable as there were 3 of us. So why suggest it in the app? Again not the hotels fault but something to bear in mind. Room was ok, good air con, but the bathroom layout is poor, especially with a child in tow. Both the toilet and shower have frosted glass which you can see through to some extent. The sink is in the bedroom area. Anyone getting up in the night to use the loo illuminates the entire bedroom. Storage space was limited but there is a safe, iron and board along with decent toiletries. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. While the main bed was very comfy the child bed was very uncomfortable with just a thin layer on top of the firm sofa bed which was right next to the main bed. Wasn’t really a family suitable room. Roof bar had some amazing views but was very dirty with tissues and litter all over the floor. The barman didn’t look too happy having serve everyone on his own. Litter was still there in the evening even though there was no one up there (but the barman). Evening dinner in the restaurant - food was excellent but unfortunately service was very slow. The bar frequently had just one person serving drinks which the waitresses seemed unorganised with us taking to ask for service between courses. I think others have mentioned this in their reviews. Seats outside while comfy and having an amazing view were dirty with litter, used straws and cigarette butts stuffed down the sides of the cushions. The white plastic looked dirty as did many of the cushions. Prices for drinks and food given its location were very reasonable and in line with other hotels. I can’t help but feel once you take the location out of the equation the hotel would get lower scores if it was somewhere else. Service really needs improving and so does cleanliness in the public bar and restaurant areas outside. And if travelling with children, get a separate linked room for them if you want privacy in the bathroom or shower!
