Too basic
Although clean and helpful man on reception I marked it down for the following:
I was told to park in car park 3 but on arrival, after a lot of messing about I was told to park in 4
the bed was so hard and I couldn’t get comfortable. Had to sleep on top of the duvet in the end so slept for a few hours
I arrived back from my event at 9pm and there was absolutely no way on site to buy food
Breakfast was disappointing. A pre prepared bag. Not much to eat really
Obviously just not for me

Pleasant location but loud guests.
Positives: The room was clean and warm; the shower worked well. Reception staff were helpful and there was good parking availability. Lots of take away options within a few minutes walk. Negatives: Breakfast was in the student block but only started at 8am. Very noisy hotel, lots of people banging doors at 02.30 every morning during my stay. TV signal was very poor.

Hotels great, unfortunate location
Hotel is situated within the halls of the Nothampton University, nothing against the students however you can hear them coming back home from the night out which caused disturbance to sleep numerous times through the night/morning

OK Place to stay but car parks aren't next door
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...

Handy hotel
Needed a hotel to go to a gig in town. Thus popped up and it is great. It's in the middle of the University of Northampton campus (if arriving by car use car park 3 and tell operator you're in the hotel - electronic capture of licence plate in reception so you don't pay) looks newly refurbished. Great

Great value and ideal for Silverstone
Amazing little find actually . . Good value and surprisingly modern and comfortable for a hotel located in the middle of a university campus. Room rather warm but a fan is provided. Would definitely use again as ideal for Silverstone.

Poor communication
Took a payment from my card the day before check-in without authorisation. Didn't reply to emails. The light in the bathroom has no switch and takes 10 mins to turn off.

Northampton June 2024 trip
Sunley Hotel was a very pleasant hotel for a short stay in Northampton. It is very clean and modern and has a nice seating area downstairs in the reception area. The staff weren't particularly friendly on welcoming and throughout the stay, they did the bare minimum when asked for help during our stay. The night receptionist was the most friendly chap working at the hotel. The rooms were pleasant but very hot. They did provide fans so I presume this is well known and well documented in other reviews. The bathroom has an automatic light and fan which was motion activated and took about 20 mins to turn off once you left the room which we found a bit odd. The room itself was nice and spacious. It was very modern and clean and had everything you would expect from a hotel room. My main criticism, however, would be that there was a sign informing guests that if they wanted their towels changed they would need to leave them on the floor. I thought this unnecessary so I hung my towel up in the bathroom only to find it was still changed each day. Overall it was a nice hotel with just a few negatives which they could easily turn around to make it a very pleasant hotel.
