They gave the twin room we reserved to someone else and put us in a small double, I ended up having to sleep on the floor. We requested extra bedding but they didn't give us any extra pillows only a quilt. Made for a very poor night's sleep. Parking was limited but convenient. The hotel location is very convenient for a night out in Peterborough. Bar prices were horrendously high.

The Queensgate Hotel provided the perfect backdrop for our recent reunion. While the hotel itself offered comfortable accommodations and a delicious breakfast, it was the exceptional service of one employee in particular that truly elevated our experience.Connol, the bartender, was an absolute star. Despite being the only one on duty, he worked tirelessly throughout the night to ensure that all of our guests were well looked after. His friendly demeanor, efficiency, and ability to keep the drinks flowing even under pressure were truly impressive. He went above and beyond to make our reunion special, and we all appreciated his dedication.The breakfast spread was another highlight, offering a wide variety of options to satisfy everyone's tastes. It was the perfect way to fuel up after a night of catching up with old friends.Overall, we had a fabulous night. The combination of a comfortable setting, good food, and outstanding service from Connol made it a truly memorable experience. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a venue for a gathering or simply a pleasant stay in Peteeborough.Special thanks to Connol for making our reunion so special!

Potentially a great hotel due to great location to stadium and Peterborough centre. Also staff are a credit as all friendly and polite and happy to help in the grim conditions they work in. Breakfast close to being inedible, room I stayed in close to being hazardous to health. All fittings seen better days, mouldy bathroom and stained carpets. Yes it is cheap but not cheerful. Bed was comfortable though, but room with a view was not.

Entire hotel and room smelt really bad, like toilet smell. Terrible nights sleep as the walls were so thin I could hear people walking about in the next rooms, talking, and closing doors etc. Shower did not work properly and was stuck at 38 degrees. I was considering giving 2 stars as the staff were really nice and helpful. But I cannot give this place 2 stars. Would never recommend here to anyone!

It’s fair to say that when you book a hotel room that the facility's available should be available!!On my stay there was no evening food available but we did have a great guy called Darrell who was running around doing everything and he could not have been more helpful and had a great attitude and work ethic, running reception and running the bar helping customers he was absolutely brilliant but unfairly over worked and really needed a extra member of staff to help with the load, you should be proud to have such a member of staff to be so helpful and supportive in his job but also look at yourselves as a company to this guy in such a mad situation!! Hotel is nice clean tidy but very very under staffedI would stop again but I would advise a little bit more help at busy times

Room had no clothes iron, no microwave. Very small bathroom while the building is very old.We weren’t comfortable so checked out a day earlier.We approached an elderly woman who was at the counter & asked if we could get a full or partial refund, she said they had to confirm from the owner & promised they would give us a call.We never got a feedback till dateVery poor service!

Joshua gave great bar service, very funny and entertaining person, the room (47) is a little tired, could do with a carpet clean, the light fitting thick with dust and mold spits through the bedroom and bathroom, a new shower screen should be installed ASAP as the curtain is failing leaving water to flow on the floor. Dust on the door backs, frames and behind TV just felt like nobody cares enough, these jobs only need doing once per month yet the build up indicates a lot lot longer, pretty disappointing.
