Incredible hotel with lots of value for the price! Amenities inside the room were fantastic, beds comfortable, AC was ice cold! Breakfast was delightful as well. And I can't say enough good things and the staff, everyone was so lovely.

The only thing I don’t like is the lack of parking. My mobility isn’t great and I think that if closer parking was available The Telegraph would be perfect.

Lovely spacious hotel room with a nice authentic feel being a former newspaper building... The came with additional things like a DAB radio, safe, fridge, nespresso machine, iron and a large modern shower! I could have stayed several nights here and will look to stay again! And NCP Belgrade car park is a 5 minute walk away

Fast check-in. Beds are comfortable. Rooms are clean and tidy. Near many amenities. Recommend. Only setback no carpark. Parking is a little far from the hotel. Also there is no proper loading place for luggages. We need to park opposite the hotel and bring all the luggages across the road.

Really enjoyed our stay. The ambiance of the bar and the restaurant were fantastic. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the staff were attentive and friendly. The room was clean and cozy, warmed up well considering it was 0° outside! Spacious rooms, very comfy bed and the shower was amazing. Would most definitely recommend. Would suggest the NCP bellgrave plaza parking was literally a 3 minute walk away and paid £11.95 for 25hrs stay.

Great hotel, nice and new in a good location, near to coffee shops and some shopping! First time staying at this hotel, would definitely recommend to friends and stay here again. The bar area is lovely and delicious cocktails too, staff were really nice. Check in was amazing and the rooms are lovely, nicely decorated. We visited for the ice hockey this time. Really nice touches to the hotel with regards to the telegraph

I had heard about this hotel when it opened via newspaper articles. It didn't disappoint - we loved it. Love the vintage/heritage vibe. Cocktails on the roof terrace. Great breakfast choices. Central location, NCP car park is 5 mins walk away and cost us £17 for Sat/Sun. We hope to go back.

Only negative aspect is lack of loading/unloading bay outside hotel for guests arriving by car. It is not far to the nearest NCP multi-storey but more detailed info about accessing it would have been useful. We had to ask for directions several times. The restaurant is pleasant but the dinner menu was unimaginative.

Good Points: - Super cool building in a very interesting, unusual city - Fab design features. Especially loved bathroom in our room - The male receptionist was kind and friendly - Nice breakfast with good coffee - Comfortable bed - Food in the restaurant was fine Bad points: - Room was not clean enough. Dust and bits on floor, dusty, unclean surfaces - I was particularly upset about one very dirty cup in our room and a tea spoon with hot chocolate from the last guest. I mentioned this to a female receptionist. She didn’t really seem to care. Not even sure if she apologised. Sent housekeeping person who was equally like a robot. Suspect they often have complaints about cleanliness - It’s not luxurious. No body lotion in bathroom. Towels are basic, not fluffy and small - Thin walls and little noise insulation. Could hear neighbours’ ….. activities in vivid detail this morning and could actually feel the banging against our headboard - Found it utterly gross when leaving room to see clean bedding and towels stacked on the carpets in the hallways. Seriously?!?! If I was unlucky, my bedding and towels could have been sat on a carpet where god knows how many people walk in outdoor shoes?!?! Cleanliness is important to me and the factors that point to ineptitude of the housekeeping team made my skin crawl so much that I wouldn’t stay at Telegraph again or recommend it.

I was in Coventry on business, and the Telegraph made for an excellent stay. It was clean, functional and - given the location - very quiet. The working surface, with a couple of plugs and good lighting, was very good for work. I particularly appreciated the bedside radio, while I found the nearby Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants good places for a reasonably-priced dinner.

Unfortunately the levels of cleanliness were not as expected for the top suite with a hot tub. Very Dusty, dried mucus on the wall (yes a large one) and other bodily fluid marks on furniture. In my opinion, not worth the price tag and came away disappointed.

Duplex rooms are not good, charge more for the inconvenience of having a bed on a mezzanine when all the things you need are downstairs. These rooms should be cheaper as they are worse than the standard rooms.

Nice big rooms, room very noisy due to big generator outside the room on all night. Dusty shelves and toilet had black around the water outlet. No toilet brush. Drinks in room excellent selection. Shower easy to use and good output. Bed very large and very comfortable. Loads of mirrors and surface areas to get ready. Breakfast slow service and fruit selection not replenished. Bacon too tough to cut.

The hotel is really nicely decorated, very kind staff at the front desk and a good location. When I entered my room it was like the Sahara desert, the heating was on full whack so it was a bit of a shock, assuming that was unintended but I managed to turn it off and the temp reduced. Unfortunately I was in a room that the window faced into a corridor so I couldn't really open the curtains but this didn't really worry me as I wasn't in the room much. The price for the quality of room was good and I would stay again if I am visiting Cov.

Hotel has references to it's past life which is quite cool. We stayed in the duplex room, which while the concept is nice, it's rather small and maybe would've preferred a normal room. A lot of dark wood about as well so room felt quite dark. But otherwise was modern and clean. Breakfast was decent too. As this is a city centre location parking is difficult right outside the hotel to unload bags but there are car parks within 5 min walk.

I was given a room (64) I think, where the windows had been fully opaqued with a vinyl cover, meaning you could not see out. This was because outside the window was a vent (or similar) which was noisy all night. This is the first hotel I have complained to in the morning in over 10 years, as my sleep was awful. Annoyingly the room itself, the wider hotel, the breakfast and the staff was all great. I told the hotel that they should fill that room, and I expect the two adjacent rooms, last, which was clearly not happening. Maybe I was given it as I had prepaid in advance? With such a lovely hotel, I genuinely am dissapointed to give such a poor review, but it is their choice to put guests in this room, when others were available.

We stayed overnight for a Christmas Party nearby and had a table booked at their resteraunt - we were running late and they couldn’t have been more helpful, they changed the time of or table - and the food was FABULOUS as was the service - must mention all the staff were amazing too. This is after getting in touch a couple of days before to confirm my needs to ensure I had all the support I needed as I have mobility needs, they posistioned me in a room near reception, with disabled access and couldn’t have been more helpful. WIll definitely go back if have the chance - excellent service, staff and wonderful place to stay. Fantastic.

The hotel was really neat! The room service/food in the restaurant was probably some of the best we had during our week in England. The only reason why I didn't give five stars is that we booked a room with a king size bed, and confirmed at check-in that it had one, however the room we were given had a queen size bed.
