A very good location for walking into Leamington Spa. I liked the fresh modern decoration and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a shame that the bathroom was let down by the worn out dirty shower screen seal.

Very Disappointing
Had to swap rooms 3 times, as door handle fell off one room after check in, then door wouldn't open on the second room, then finally got into the third.
Also reception were adamant at check in that all 6 rooms that i had booked were not including breakfast, booking receipt definitely shows breakfast included.
Ended up all of us when elsewhere in the morning for breakfast.

Gone downhill, used to be quite ok, but the place looks tired & they've made some poor changes, parking is now chargeable for overnight guests, which I really don't appreciate, you can no longer charge the bar to your room, which is a bit ridiculous for a hotel, and the breakfast ingredients were of poor quality.. We will not be staying here again.

Business Trip
I found the hotels feeling to be cold rather than warm and welcoming. Reception was fine, the room was OK (apart from the fact that it was in the roof space with loads of stairs and fire doors to negotiate before you actually got into it, with no lift being available).
When you did get into the room, the bathroom doors entrance was restricted by the towel rail / radiator, carpets were baggy, but at least the bed and pillows were excellent.
The cooked breakfast was average, a self service set up with plenty of choice, however good coffee and selection of fruits, yogurts and cereals etc.
Perhaps its just me but I found the property to have no atmosphere at all.

Lovely place
Roof room was a different experience for me.
Everything as iron, hairdryer were cool in the room.
Nice staff, nice food in bar and restaurant. I couldn’t see any lift, may be it was my fault did not ask.
Overall was good for architecture, car park area and location.

We stayed in room 5 executive king.
We had a lovely bay window but on trying to open then to let some cool air in we found they were painted shut so we had a very warm uncomfortable stay.
Breakfast in the morning is buffet style continental and full English. I went for the full English and wow it was absolutely vile ,god knows who long the food had been sitting in the hot plates.
We will never go back to this property again and my advice is look just a couple of miles away at the holiday inn £10 more per night but it’s worth it.

It was a very good stay except the bed was awful. It was a very low modern bed with wide wood surround that I kept bumping my leg on. The hotel did say it was going to be replaced this week.

only for small people who like lots of stairs
We were given room 16, somehow carved into the eaves - there was no way I'd fit into the bed, both height and length. After waiting 30min for receptionist, was offered a different room, one side very low ceiling - taller the 5ft you'd struggle. Also tiny bathroom doors, felt like 2 rooms had been made where only 1 should be.
Place seems like it needs a good deep clean, vac, wipe down - a few leaks / drips in bathrooms.
If you struggle with stairs might not be for you.
Limited car parking so ended up on street.

A great second visit to the Episode Hotel. The room was lovely. Very comfortable and spacious with quality bed linen - leading to a great night's sleep. The Breakfast buffet was well stocked although breakfast itself was noisy and a little hectic - perhaps that was our timing but another coffee machine would help.

Not horrible but wouldn’t return
The room is outdated and the walls are paper thin. I could hear the other room playing the tv. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t return either. I think chain hotels are a safer choice. You know what you get. The pictures on the website for the hotel look really good and modern. The reality when you get here is different.

Under renovation
Unfortunately, apart from the staff being friendly and pleasant cannot say anything good. The hotel is very outdated, however the place is currently undergoing the renovation so in the future might be very nice. The room I stayed was extremely dusty and cold due to the old window.

Really bad experience
Awful. I understand that the hotel was being refurbished, but we were put in probably their oldest, crappiest room. Everything except the bedding was dirty and/or broken. I'm sure it will be lovely once it's finished, but sadly we did not get that experience. Broken taps, toilet did not flush, filthy curtains, broken window woild not stay open, holes in walls, dirty walls, broken headboard...... the photos say it all!!!

Ok hotel but needs to be modernised
The Episode was a generally ok hotel but in need of some modernising. Beds in room 27 were uncomfortable and should have been replaced. Staff at hotel were very good and helpful. Checking in was quick and easy. Breakfast was ok but could have more variety. Rooms are fine for space but outdated and bathroom quite old.

Perfectly ok but nothing special
A nice hotel in a good location. My room was very quiet. The bathroom was ok - nothing special. It was difficult to lock and unlock the door. Breakfast was good, especially the coffee which can often be disgusting in hotels. The staff were all extremely pleasant. The hotel could do with a bit of refurbishment but overall it was fine and I would stay there again
