“Thorpe Lodge Hotel offers a convenient location for exploring Peterborough's attractions like Nene Park, but be aware that some aspects require attention. As an editor, I see potential in its historical building and budget-friendly pricing, yet improvements are needed to ensure a consistently positive experience. For those prioritizing location and affordability, it might suffice, but manage expectations accordingly.”

i found the rooms modern and super clean. the layout was well-considered, and the comfy bed. there was also a smart tv in my room. i thought the little kitchenette setup was a great touch.

my room faced a busy road, and the window did not fully shut. the noise was somewhat disruptive. i wish i had quieter accommodations .

the rooms are modern. super clean rooms impressed me. rooms are finished to a really high standard. i loved the comfy bed. i enjoyed the smart tv. the little kitchenette setup is a great touch. it genuinely doesn't feel like a typical lodge anymore! it feels more like a boutique hotel. i could walk to a couple of really good pubs too. the fox & hound is in longthorpe and the boathouse is by the river. both are ideal for food and drinks. i walked to the queensgate shopping centre! i walked to the train station too. i also loved exploring the cathedral on foot.

the tv connection cut off sometimes.

The room decor has a lovely scheme of colours! I found the hotel clean and bright. The staff maintains it very well. The cooking facilities were a real plus for me. I did enjoy the kettle, ironing board, and hairdryer. It was so complete!

The TV connection sometimes struggled to maintain a stable signal. It would cut off unexpectedly at times.
