Advantages: Rates, Facilities

Disadvantages: Inconsistent standards

The Hanover International Hotel chain only have hotels in the UK (well actually having checked the locations it is only England and Wales).

They have 14 Hotels in Skipton, Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, Ashbourne, Hinckley, Daventry, Dunstable, Harpenden, Cardiff Bay, Bromsgrove, Reading, Basingstoke, Chewton(Bristol) and Eynsham (Oxford). The hotels are all 3 or 4 stars and 'most' of the ones I have visited are very good.

All have good facilities such as pools, saunus, gyms, and most offer good business facilities as well.

The standards of hotel and service vary quite a lot across the hotel chain so it pays to check out each hotel prior to any visit.

For example, the Hinckley hotel is a very large modern and impersonal hotel. The staff are reasonable, the restaurant is passable and the facilities are excellent. Compare this with Huddersfield which is the poorest hotel in the chain that I have been in. It is small, very run down with poor facilities but has a reasonable restaurant.

My favourite is the Skipton hotel which is medium sized, has good facilities, nice clean rooms and a good bar and excellent restaurant.

My advice is to check for special rates prior to your visit, ask for a free upgrade to a better room if they wont discount. Check out the hotel details on the web site to make sure it is what you are after.
