I'm in a delegation of 8 people going to Warwick Uni for a meeting with key personnel there. We are looking for accommodation at a reasonably priced hotel near Uni.

Any recommendations please?
Warwick Uni postcode is CV4, does it mean the nearby hotels are postcode CV3,4,5?

Thanks for your help.

This is confusing, but Warwick University is not in Warwick. It is in Coventry. This means you need a hotel in Coventry and not in Warwick. The postcode is only a general indicator. I work in the CV4 postcode, which is near to the university, but too far to walk. I live in the CV3 postcode, which is far from the university.

I found this list on the Warwick university website: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/international/arrival/orientation/hotels_and_bb/

but many of these hotels are far from the uni. If you dont have a car, it may be difficult and long to get to the uni from many of these.

I work near the university, so on my drive home from work, I will see if I pass any hotels or guest houses that are nearby.

Coventry is a bit of a hole though (in English this means ugly place).
The university is connected during term time every 20 mins. with Leamington Spa, 8 miles away, and a much nicer place. Even if you stay in Coventry you would have to get a bus.
Leamington postcodes are CV32 etc.
There are some very nice B & Bs in Clarendon Crescent, and there are bigger hotels in the main street, the Parade.

Many thanks to both VT mates. I gave up guessing whether CV7 was nearer to CV4, or CV32 was nearer to CV4. Just booked at The Village Hotel and I suppose I'll see if it suits everyone.

Thanks again.
