Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of staying at the Park Hotel in Preston, and I must say it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism by the staff, setting the tone for a delightful stay. The room was immaculate with all the amenities one could hope for, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. The hotel's ambiance struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, making it feel like a luxurious home away from home. Dining at the hotel was also a treat. The menu was diverse, catering to various tastes, and each dish I tried was prepared to perfection. Moreover, the location of the hotel proved to be ideal, offering easy access to Preston's attractions and activities. But what truly set this stay apart was the attention to detail. Whether it was housekeeping ensuring my room was always in top condition, or the concierge offering insightful recommendations for local sights and experiences, every aspect of the service was exceptional. In a world where genuine hospitality can sometimes be hard to find, the Park Hotel in Preston stands out as a shining example of how it's done right. I highly recommend this establishment to both business travelers and tourists alike. I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit!

The staff at the hotel is very supportive that I needed to have an early check-in due to tiredness of a journey. They were very professional with a timely manner to help me. The bed was very comfortable. We highly recommend this place. Thanks for helping us during our stay!

Absolutely brilliant hotel, perfect for our wedding party. Plenty of space for the 9 of us to get ready for the wedding. Emma is amazing, she couldn't do enough for us and even helped keep the kids occupied whilst we got ready ! Very clean and tidy, the room had a small kitchen which came in really handy and there's a separate room for breakfast which was great. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice stay or any events.

Lovely building and owner happy to tell me history of it. In recent years they have added on extensions to create more rooms. Can't fault cleaning but lacking a few attention to details eg. The curtains on the bay window we had didn't meet properly, in bathroom sink missing a plug, the window frame could do with a paint and there's holes/raw plugs on the wall where it looks a shelf was. But tea/coffee provided and towels with sachets of soap /shampoo. Would suggest a thought to getting bath mat as you step out shower onto slick tiles which get slippy
