This hotel has a lovely air conditioned bar with a nice popular beer garden in the summer. We're talking very nice bar rather than pub! A great way to catch the late evening sun in the summer. I have previously stayed at this hotel as well. Food was very nice, along with food and drink service. Rooms were nice. Still one of the better hotels in Leamington Spa. A very quick walk to the centre - very convenient.

I attended a lovely event at Episode. It was done to a very professional standard and was enjoyable. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the drinks we were made weren't very nice at all. Also parking can be difficult here. But overall a good experience - clean, friendly and welcoming.

Attended a friend's party here. Food was pretty good,; they put on a special menu which was great. Bar expensive, but I don't drink out much, so may have noticed price a bit more! Otherwise, nice venue. We had a separate few rooms downstairs, with private (though tiny!) bar. For more choice had to walk through hotel to main bar, but not a problem. Nice looking garden, but rain meant we didn't use it (no covered areas)

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Decent sized room, soft but comfortable bed, and good powerful shower. The breakfast was varied, and of a good quality. The staff were generally very helpful. The only downside on our stay was the room next door, who felt they needed the TV on loud at every waking moment. Not the hotels issue though, and doesn't affect my overall rating.

I don't write reviews often and when I do if I'm honest it's because a place have been bloody awful. Episode is a bit of an exception. I wasn't expecting much considering how reasonable the place was to book compared to other hotels in the area but I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were are very cleaned and modern but currently undergoing refurbishment to improve them more so, we had an un improved room and we're more thab happy. The drinks at the bar were reasonably priced and the cocktails made by out favourite bar tender Tom were amazing, he has a flair for it. Breakfast was exceptional and we decided to have an evening meal before heading home which didn't dissapoint either. We will return

Car park was full so finding a side road to park was tricky. Seeing it was £5 A night to park at the hotel probably was better off site. Room was large and well decorated until we found the leaking radiator in the bathroom, which on mentioning to staff later on that evening we were given a new room upgrade. Bar area was nice and cosy as was the restaurant but sitting waiting to be served for a meal was a pain. Don't expect table service would recommend ordering at the bar, as staff who were very friendly and helpful throughout looked stretched at times. Looks like it's having on going upgrade so maybe in a few months things improve. Overall food was reasonably priced and good quality and great location for town centre. Cannot fault staff for effort.

Stayed for one night for work. Staff very welcoming. Room was clean but being an attic room it was very very warm all night so despite a comfy bed, not the greatest nights sleep! Ate in the bar area. Food was tasty and was very full. When I stay places on my own it can sometimes be intimidating but this definitely wasn’t, felt quite comfortable sitting on my own. Would recommend!
