Great Victoria Hotel

Lovely clean and comfortable hotel. Excellent value for money. Staff couldn't gave been any friendlier or efficient. Cheap parking, Excellent breakfast and lovely, comfortable rooms. Centrally located, an excellent base.

Stayed 3 nights in July. Great location and great value through Booking.com (£93 total), though our final night booked direct was a bit pricier at £95. Breakfast was excellent—£12pp and a really good hot and continental spread. The lift was out of order the entire stay, which made accessing upper floors difficult, especially when I wasn’t feeling well. This wasn’t mentioned when we booked. Room was tidy but showing signs of wear. Only cleanliness issue was a cobweb on the light fitting. TV was difficult to use, but we had our own devices. Rooms were quite warm and windows barely open—bring a fan if you're heat-sensitive! Dinner felt overpriced for what we got, and room service had confusing availability. Staff said “drinks only” despite the guest info stating sandwiches were available. Driving tip: Ignore the postcode they provide for parking—ours took us on a Bradford city centre tour and likely into a few bus lanes. Just use the hotel postcode and drive past the hotel to access the car park. Staff were fantastic—helpful, friendly, and a real credit to the place. Would stay again, but only if the lift is working or we get a ground-floor room.

Huge but dated hotel in a good city centre location (10min walk from Bradford Forster Sq station and just round the corner from Interchange station). Reception staff were absolutely brilliant and accommodating. However... the single lift was broken meaning I had to carry my quite heavy suitcase up the equivalent of about 9 sets of stairs - no assistance was offered. Then found my "executive" room was in the loft with just two skylights and no other windows - very dark and discomforting. The room only one had a blind meaning I was expected to have tonnes of light coming in at sunrise. Staff kindly moved me into a much larger and a bit of a brighter room. The shower only emitted boiling hot water and bathtub broken and unusable. Other negatives - the breakfast was pretty dire. It was clearly all just bought from the local shop. Also a member of the housekeeping staff. naively and loudly complained about me requesting to change rooms to her colleague, totally unaware I could hear. The reception member of staff was very apologetic. At a (discounted) £90, it felt very expensive for what I got...
