Midland hotel is a little piece of history in Bradford. Central location, welcoming opulent entrance and reception areas.Vintage Tiles, chandeliers , wrought iron staircases, high ceilings.

Bradford is going through some gentrification - some dowdy areas and yet there are areas of inspiration such as the central square set amongst lovely historic buildings .

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, my experience was quite mixed.
The location itself is excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. However, there are several issues that affected my stay.
First, the air conditioning in the room was not cold enough, even when set to the lowest temperature. This made it difficult to sleep comfortably, especially during warm weather.
Second, the WiFi provided was an unsecured public network, which did not feel safe for handling any personal or sensitive information online.
While the room was reasonably clean, the bathroom had a persistent mouldy smell that did not go away throughout my stay.
Another inconvenience is that the parking area is not located directly at the hotel, which can be quite awkward if you have luggage or need to access your car frequently.
Overall, I would not recommend staying here for more than one night. There are better options available in the same area.
This hotel is such good value and the facilities are really good. The King room was spacious and nicely decorated. It had everything needed for an overnight stay, it even had an iron and ironing board. There was a Nespresso machine and pods, plus a kettle. The bed was large and very comfortable and the shower was lovely.
It was in a good location for our needs and about a 15 minute walk from the train station. There are various car parks in the immediate area too.
I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.
My wife requires gluten free food ( which most frequently means no wheat products) and lactose free milk. She has reacted to soya milk in the past and generally opts for oat milk.
At breakfast in the hotel everything was clearly labelled if it contained wheat, but there were few alternatives provided and no alternative to the croissants and muffins. One waitress was very helpful and offered to see if there was any oat milk in the bar. Good idea - we knew there was because my wife had it in her coffee the previous evening. The waitress went and soon returned with a carton of oat milk. She apologized for the carton but we didn’t mind, we were pleased that my wife could enjoy her cereal.
However before she could use it another waiter (the Barman?) came along and demanded its return. My wife offered to return it after her breakfast but, no, it was needed immediately in case there were other customers who wanted it. The problem was solved by my wife pouring some into a cup and giving him the carton. Not the sort of situation we expect from a decent hotel. We were pleased at the imitative of the waitress, and thanked her for it. We were appalled at the crass behavior of the man who demanded its return. All in all it was a very poor breakfast.
I prefer staying on the higher floors of the hotel, as the facilities there are newer and more comfortable. However, during my recent three-week stay, the waffle maker was broken. I used to enjoy making waffles for breakfast during previous stays, but it was unavailable this time.
I hope the breakfast quality can be maintained at the same level as my stays in September and October 2024, when there were many options available. The variety and quality of the breakfast have always been a bonus and one of the main reasons I choose this hotel.
ผผู้เข้าพักExcellent hotel and really good to get to the centre .
From checking in early to checking out, everything was superb ! The staff af reception were among the friendliest we have come across.
The room was very clean and a really comfy bed made for an excellent night's sleep.
Breakfast was amazing, and as soon as anything ran out, it was replenished straight away. Choices were really good and excellent quality too
Definitely recommend this hotel, and we'll definitely be back.
ผผู้เข้าพักVery good hotel and services. Also hists a swimming pool and gym. Parking (for a fee) is also available on site. No secure storage lockers in the rooms. The rooms may have a bath tub rather than shower.
LLadyMarahGreat location,very quiet peaceful area beautiful room and very clean I lived it . But my stay would have been better if everything had gone smoothly I Just had a problem with the hotel asking for a deposit and not accepting cash for it , I do understand policies are different but after a 12hour flight plus 3 hour train ride all I needed was to get my room and rest but I had to sit for over 20 plus minutes trying to figure out what to do with my situation.I suggest they should be more accommodating and attentive to different situations and customers circumstances rather than just saying we don’t accept this and not willing to find a solution to help. Later on after about 30 minutes or so a very nice friendly manager came to my rescue and found a solution .which could have been done in the first place than having a customer wait for long because someone else is not willing to budge and understand a situation and find a solution.

NNeil CookeNic, clean and comfortable hotel. Ideally situated on the M1 but without the traffic noise. Restaurant a bit limited but there’s more eating places in the services. Bar is a bit pricey, but the staff are fantastic and a credit to the company
