This is our second stay here and once again we've had a lovely time, so much so ive booked anothe stay for December. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and our room was perfect for us. The hotel is in the city centre and is a short walk from the cinema, many pubs, restaurants and shops.

Fobbed off with the wrong room

We had paid for an executive room and were given a standard room where the aircon didn’t work and hadn’t been cleaned properly. We were robbed off that it was the correct room until they found out we have stayed before many times over the last 38 years. We were then moved to the correct room.

The Bull Hotel proved to be a great choice for a quick stopover in Peterborough (7 minute walk from the train station). It’s an older hotel but has lots of charm. I’d recommend it for a short stay. A surprisingly good price was an extra bonus !
