As with the Z Hotel Piccadilly, this hotel was great in all but one way: air conditioning and ice! It’s hot in the summer, friends — and it’s only going to get hotter! That means you should significantly upgrade your air-conditioning system as soon as you can; the current one is simply not up to the job. And when you serve drinks in the hotel, you should be assuming that everyone will want a glass full of ice — not looking surprised and dubious when a guest timidly asks whether ice is available, then slowly extracting two measly cubes from a long-out-of-use bowl in a small mini-fridge below the counter!

Aside from these two significant failings, the Elite was excellent :o)

We really enjoyed our stay for just one night. We found the parking convenient and safe, although we did an extra circuit of the campus as the signposting in the last 150 metres wasn't clear. The breakfast was good, and the staff were professional, helpful and made us feel relaxed. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Elite Athlete Hotel again. Many thanks, Keiron Chatterjea

The room was stuffy. There was no ventilation to let fresh air in as window cannot be opened. The filter in bathroom was not working either. There was no air conditioning and was told May and June was when they switch off their filters??We had to request for a fan. It was a very uncomfortable pricey stay for a standard room. Some sockets were not working. One of the lift wasn't working during our stay. Very disappointed overall. Will not recommend.

The food was ok, but breakfast was overcooked. We found the bed too hard for our liking, but that could be just us. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful but the hotel could do with more staff. We had to wait for five minutes to check in because there was no one at reception.

Expected more due to the high cost.

My stay was disappointing. The price was high and I was expecting more.
The staff & customer service was excellent.
Staff helped me with bags to my room and the room location was very near the room.
It was not an accessible room
I did not bring my scooter from the car.
I would say it was more of a hostel booking with individual rooms not shared rooms.
Breakfast was self service.

Absolute nightmare to find the hotel once on the campus. Little or no sinage and nobody on campus seemed to know where it was. Read great reports obout the food so was surprised to be given a cold fried breakfast on a cold plate. Woken several times during the night by noisy students returning to their dorms. Would not recommend

Underwhelming stay

Very comfy bed in a large clean room. Thre are some specialist altitude ooms in this hotel, we had just a standard's room and I was surprised there wasn’t even air con in these.
Breakfast was very average and all decor is very basic. For an over night stay it was perfectly fine but there’s nothing special here so I wouldn’t recommend if you were on a treat. Over priced for whats on offer.

Avoid if possible. Overpriced student halls

Booked two nights at the hotel. Arrived at reception only to be made to wait for 20minutes until the receptionist found the room booking. Was informed that the hotel was overbooked and they only had a room for one night.
Then was told they cant process the hotels.com room and that i will have to pay seperately for the one night they had available. The receptionist charged a higher nightly rate then advertised on hotels.com.

The hotel room itself looked like a student hall room. This is not a proper hotel, this is a universitiy's attempt to make money by converting a student hall into a hotel.
The breakfast service stops at 9 am which is very strange and also the breakfast options were very limited.

I don't like to leave bad reviews as everyone is human and usually any problems can be rectified. However, I was really looking forwards to staying here, the photos of the facilties and the previous reviews are great. We were greeted by friendly staff on arrival who gave lots of helpful info. The room was a good size with all of the basic features expected (tea/coffee facilties, har dryer, tv, fridge). The bed was poor quality, with visible springs and a single, thin pillow for each of us. The curtains dd not close properly so had a very large amount of light coming into the room. The shower head was basically black with mould, the bottom of the shower curtain was also covered in pink mould. We were also only given 1 towel for a room that was booked for 2. Dirty marks were over many of the walls including 2 lots of wet tea stain marks (or at least thats what i hoped they were!). On multile occasions we tried to find someone to help us with these issues but no one was around. We ended up getting our own towel from the linen store!

Breakfast was minimal and on the second morning, when staff were around, they cleared my husbands fresh coffee from a table where all of our belongings were and my cup of tea (which they left!) while we waited by the toaster for toast. Items were cleared away at 8.30am (we were told breakfast was until 9am) and when i asked for some milk for a second cup of tea at the counter the response poor and I had expain what it was for before being given any

very clean accommodation set in the enormous university campus. Room was quite basic with very narrow, twin beds. The bathroom was also quite bare, with open shower (no cubicle, tray etc). The staff were fantastic and the food excellent but the overall feel is that of a high class dormitory. It is also difficult to find - the campus is vast and the signage poor.

Very comfortable beds, breakfast could be better

The room was modern, clean and comfortable. Although we had breakfast included in the price this was not communicated to them by Hotels.com. I had to show the receptionist the email as proof. For an Elite Athlete Centre I would have expected healthier choices for breakfast. Also no marmalade was provided.
