What guests think
The Rugby Hotel provides a central, good-value base with often friendly, helpful staff and generally clean, recently refreshed bedrooms, though its older building and ongoing refurbishment bring trade-offs that many travellers should consider.
The location is repeatedly praised as right in the town centre, walkable to shops and restaurants. Rooms are often small but comfortable with modern bathrooms, yet noise from thin walls or single-glazed windows and summer heat without air-conditioning are common complaints, with occasional issues around heating, hot water or in-room tech. Practicalities draw mixed feedback: parking is in the nearby Asda car park and can be confusing or paid, and check-in or staffing can be stretched at times. Expect a simple, well-located stay in a characterful older property.

Facilities
Parking is via the nearby Asda car park, sometimes charged and with confusing instructions. The historic building is under refurbishment and some corridors feel tired.

Wonderful hotel with outstanding staff and rooms who are efficient polite and customer-focused. Point of reference: if arriving after dark, park in Asda car park as close to The Prince of Wales as possible. Walk through to the pedestrianised road and hotel is 1 min walk on right. £5 for 24hr parking payable in HOTEL!

Looks like it has had a recent refurbishment and the room was quite good however it was difficult to check in and even though it had a very large smart TV I could not make the cast function work. I also was not expecting an additional charge of £5 for parking

The Hotel was fine. The directions for the car park were not good: the satnav postcode tried to take me into the carpark through the bollards & it was not clear how to drive round to the real entrance. I stopped the car and walked onto Sheep St to ask at the Hotel, but it was labelled 'The Horseshoe'! When I got inside, there was no-one at reception so I dialled the number from the phone on the desk & a mobile phone on charge on the shelf started ringing! Another guest explained to me how to get into the carpark, which I managed to do. On re-arrival I again had difficulty checking in. The room was comfortable & the check-out was fine!

Nice hotel in the center of Rugby, within walking distance of lots of places to eat. It's an old building and thus doesn't have double glasing, so it was rather cold at night. The heating wasn't on as it was only September. For the rest, the hotel is nice enough, room was small, bed was comfy and bathroom was clean. Staff was friendly.

The room I assigned had a very strong smell of paint fumes that would have made me sick had I stayed. I turned on the tap in the bathroom and brown water came out. I explained this to the receptionist (who was very friendly and helpful) and asked for another room. He didn't have any so he kindly refunded my booking and found me another hotel nearby. I generally stay in budget hotels and hostels. I do not expect luxury - just basic facilities. But this is the first time I have been confronted with a room that was clearly not fit for human habitation.

The customer service was great, and the cleanliness and general order was on par with most at this price point. They were accommodating of us bringing a pet, even if this did come with a non-advertised charge. However, I booked this stay in preparation for a very important interview day, and found myself consistently disturbed by the quite audible noise from other residents and the alleyway below, during the nighttime and daytime. I would attribute this to rather thin walls and no soundproofing measures on the windows or doors. I was woken at 5:15am to the sound of a large vehicle and smashing glass, most likely the local council just doing their job, but this and the other noise really dampened my stay. It was also noticeable there was some clear staining on the ceilings and a partially unattached toilet seat. Overall, not great, perhaps good?

This was a last minute booking, when our AirBnB apartment turned out to be a disaster. The hotel accommodated us at short notice and it turned out to be terrific. It was centrally located, clean, warm, and well maintained. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We only stayed the one night, but would definitely return if we had occasion to visit Rugby again.

We stay in Rugby a couple of times a year and have always used the Travel Lodge. I am so glad that I decided to switch things up. This was probably THE most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in. Staff were lovely and the room suited our needs. Rooms are clean, tidy and look quite new however, as others have mentioned, they can get quite warm, so consider this if you're someone thats gets hot at night anyway. The hallways/carpet could use modernising to improve the overall look, but this is just cosmetic. We will defintely be back here again. Xx

the rear room was fine, but the window was single-glazed with '60s louuvre ventilation which let in all the noise - traffic from warwick street and hilmorton road, and loud bottle and rubbish collection at 4am. there was no advertised times for breakfast. their website says their rooms have "Flat screen, digital TV with over 100 channels plus you can cast from any device", but for the life of me i could not cast from my phone and there were no instructions on how to. also, the tv guide function was a couple of hours ahead, i.e. at midnight it seemed to think it was 2.30am. scrolling through the guide was pitiful. in the end i had to be content without the tv altogether. i asked to see the ballroom, which the duty manager was pleased to show me. it stank of air-freshener which to my mind was to mask a worse smell of mustiness. the bed and linens were really comfoetable, and the en-suite was excellent. but you gotta do something about those wndows. i just don't buy that yiu can't do anything about it just because it's a listed building.

I stopped the car and walked onto Sheep St to ask at the Hotel, but it was labelled 'The Horseshoe'! When I got inside, there was no-one at reception so I dialled the number from the phone on the desk & a mobile phone on charge on the shelf started ringing! Another guest explained to me how to get into the carpark, which I managed to do. On re-arrival I again had difficulty checking in. The room was comfortable & the check-out was fine!

It was centrally located, clean, warm, and well maintained. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We only stayed the one night, but would definitely return if we had occasion to visit Rugby again.

The Hotel was fine. The directions for the car park were not good: the satnav postcode tried to take me into the carpark through the bollards & it was not clear how to drive round to the real entrance. I stopped the car and walked onto Sheep St to ask at the Hotel, but it was labelled 'The Horseshoe'! When I got inside, there was no-one at reception so I dialled the number from the phone on the desk & a mobile phone on charge on the shelf started ringing! Another guest explained to me how to get into the carpark, which I managed to do. On re-arrival I again had difficulty checking in. The room was comfortable & the check-out was fine!

Room was small but clean and ok to stay for one day, but unfortunately the bed lights weren't working. View from the window was for the very ugly and dirty roof. Breakfast, quite expensive for what we received. The only warm option is English breakfast but they were missing mushrooms (which we were not informed before ordering), fried egg was broken and looked more like an omlet.. no coffee express, but missing option of a warm milk. There was noone available to ask a question or even talk with.

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good value. Difficult to find initially as not clearly signed. Should let visitors know upon booking that they should park in the Asda carpark.

the rear room was fine, but the window was single-glazed with '60s louuvre ventilation which let in all the noise - traffic from warwick street and hilmorton road, and loud bottle and rubbish collection at 4am. there was no advertised times for breakfast. their website says their rooms have "Flat screen, digital TV with over 100 channels plus you can cast from any device", but for the life of me i could not cast from my phone and there were no instructions on how to. also, the tv guide function was a couple of hours ahead, i.e. at midnight it seemed to think it was 2.30am. scrolling through the guide was pitiful. in the end i had to be content without the tv altogether. i asked to see the ballroom, which the duty manager was pleased to show me. it stank of air-freshener which to my mind was to mask a worse smell of mustiness. the bed and linens were really comfoetable, and the en-suite was excellent. but you gotta do something about those wndows. i just don't buy that yiu can't do anything about it just because it's a listed building.

Came for a family funeral, but have stayed here before, it’s convenient for town centre shopping. Parking is a little frustrating as you have to park in Asda car park, so depending on what time you check in it can be a little busy, but really nice rooms, and breakfast was good.

The “compact double” live up to its billing but the room was clean, tidy and well appointed. Location of The Rugby Hotel is fantastic with lots of amenities within walking distance. The only drawback for me was the record-breaking high temperatures during my stay and, of course, the hotel doesn’t offer air conditioning—or even a fan. My top floor room became a sauna and even opening windows provided zero relief. Otherwise, it was a great stay.
