What guests think
At Sunley Hotel, guests often praise clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, good value, and a convenient campus location within walking distance of the town centre, but many also note uncomfortably warm rooms and limited on-site facilities.
Breakfast is provided in the campus refectory via vouchers and is generally basic but good value, with some reviews noting no cooked option at weekends. Several guests found the car park location or directions unclear, and some experienced late-night noise from nearby student accommodation. Best suited to short, practical stays on the university campus.

Finding parking was a nightmare, need to tell people you need to be in parking area 3. Beds like concrete, no meals, drinks or breakfast in hotel, have to go to university student restaurant or local convenience store. Hearing on full Wack, pleased fan in room. Only window restrictor was disconnected, so would have been way to jump out of third floor window.

I stay in hotels for work at least three times a month. This was by far the best experience I had in the last year. Immaculately clean room, quiet, free WiFi and parking. Breakfast was included in the price. Very friendly staff, nice surroundings. Town centre in walking distance. Would highly recommend this place.

The hotel is very clean and has everything you need for a weekend stay. It's very close to Delapre park where the festival was. The only unfortunate thing was the restaurant wasn't open for evening meals but there is a lovely bar restaurant about 2 minutes away. The hotel is bang in the middle of the university campus so feels very secure. The car park is secure, you have to buzz in. As in some reviews the hotel is very warm but it is manageable.

Situated on the university campus so in effect another student block.Rooms are exactly that but more spacious. Very clean and all you need for an overnight stay. Functional as opposed to anything else. Bed not too comfortable but again clean and ok for a night. Parking on the other side of the next block so very short walk away but the campus felt secure. No hot food on-site for breakfast but available in a student facility a few yards away. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful.

Car park is a fair way from the Hotel if you are disabled but it seems there are some disabled parking nearby but wasn't told about this?? Hotel staff Great - Unfortunately no TV Reception so couldn't watch tv or have radio on - wasn't informed about this until i rang reception to enquire. Bed Great, Shower good but disabled seat wasn't securely fastened to the wall as the fixings had come out - Good job i didn't want to use this as i would have ended up on the floor!! Good breakfast in the Uni refectory - so some good and some bad bits sorry...

Extremely poor and stressful experience. I was charged 2x, and has been a nightmare to get it refunded (someone called me asking my cards details - what I refused to give - God knows who I would be giving it for, then asked if I could go in person there - 4hrs after I checkout!). I wasted 20 min in the phone with hotels.com early in the morning trying to have it sorted. During the checkout it was said I would have it sorted in the following day and I didn't need to be worried/do anything else. The walls were full of stains, as the the linen. The bed it's really uncomfortable. People yelling in the corridors up to around midnight. Car park it's quite distant. No VIP room upgraded and drinks were mentioned/offered (as part of Hotel.com rewards and promised in the booking). I booked it to sleepover before an important exam in the uni (and save me to drive early morning), but if I knew all the stress, I would sleep in my comfortable bed and be stress free. If you want a comfortable place to stay and no free trouble, book another place.

Basic hotel, and you get what you pay for. The rooms were a bit shabby, mattress very uncomfortable, razor cover left by previous inhabitants not picked up by cleaners, shower tray wouldn't drain properly so two of us were unable to shower as the shower would have overspilled. The light in the bathroom is on a sensor with the fan, and it stays on for a long time (i.e. an hour plus) after you have left the room, a tad painful in the middle of the night when someone pops to the loo. Wouldn't stay here again, few bits that unfortunately let the hotel down. Looked far better on photos than it did in person.

I’m not usually this negative but I booked this over 6 months in advance and it was a major disappointment. We had prepaid the room and ended up leaving a day early because of the conditions. The kids working there were ok when someone was there. It was not eco friendly—hallway like a sauna wasting energy. Bathroom—lots of mold that could have been clean. Tv didn’t work. Safe didn’t work and the girl at desk just shrugged. I could go on about the little things. Not clearly represented on website that there was no one there after 9 on our checkin day, good thing we got there at 8:30, nothing available in lobby. Basically this was a total price gouge probably because of F1—we paid less per night in London for a much better hotel so left early rather than endure another uncomfortable night. Not a good experience.

I tried calling the reception desk during evening and early morning hours, but no one was available to assist with my requests. The security guard would answer, but say they couldn't help and that I'd have to wait until morning. Unfortunately, I had a visitor and wasn't able to offer them a drink, which was quite disappointing.

Really enjoyed my stay. Clean, Quiet, Plenty of safe secure parking, just a short work into the city centre. Will definitely stay again.

Great location, out of the way but still easily walkable to town centre. Adequate breakfast and student bar next door. Quiet enough considerimg it is on a uni campus next to the student union. Onlybreal negative was heating controls didn't work properly so was freezing one night and boiling the next.

Booked this hotel whilst visiting the University of Northampton open day as it is located right on campus. It wasn't clear where to park and had to be directed by campus security. The hotel is quite modern but lacks atmosphere. We didn't see any other guests during our stay. The complimentary drink on arrival was nice. Breakfast is canteen style in the building opposite. For the price charged, I found the experience very basic.

Nice Hotel. Clean spacious room. No onsiite restaurant but there is the University Cafe across the square where you can get breakfast for £5 with a voucher from the hotel. Decent pub round the corner for meals and drinks too.

Very convenient & good value for money Complementary drinks a nice touch. Good choice of beer but would have prefered a smaller glass of better quality wine if possible.

Not a bad hotel considering the location. The breakfast vouchers for the refectory was good with ample food. Not super easy to get things delivered there.

It has an early check-out time of 10am on a Sunday which is too early, plus the provision of breakfast is basic.

The hotel is very clean and has everything you need for a weekend stay. It's very close to Delapre park where the festival was. The only unfortunate thing was the restaurant wasn't open for evening meals but there is a lovely bar restaurant about 2 minutes away. The hotel is bang in the middle of the university campus so feels very secure. The car park is secure, you have to buzz in. As in some reviews the hotel is very warm but it is manageable.

Situated on the university campus so in effect another student block.Rooms are exactly that but more spacious. Very clean and all you need for an overnight stay. Functional as opposed to anything else. Bed not too comfortable but again clean and ok for a night. Parking on the other side of the next block so very short walk away but the campus felt secure. No hot food on-site for breakfast but available in a student facility a few yards away. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful.

Very basic. Off-site car park not sign-posted clearly. Nor the front door (which is round the back if approaching from car park) No hot breakfast at weekends (not sure this was made clear when I booked)

The hotel was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The car park is a short 2 minute walk away. My only complaint is that the bed wasn’t especially comfortable - the mattress was quite hard and lumpy.

Stayed many times. Usually have better experience- this time the bathroom looked tired (rust, missing bit on shower) and it was very noisy. Waited quite a lot time for receptionist to check in - rang the number on desk (it wasn’t a late check in, but teatime) and it went to voicemail. Didn’t get expected bonus - drink. Overall underwhelmed
