National Badminton Centre

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Great court the none slip floor.

Fantastic experience: Great venue ideally located

Positive experience: What an awesome place. Once the refurb is finished, it'll look great.

Fantastic experience: We stayed here for one night on route to Bletchley Park the next day and I have to say it was an excellent choice. The room was spotless, comfortable and modern, the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower had excellent water pressure with a rainforest and small detachable head for those hard to reach areas. There’s a small bar where you can buy drinks and watch people play badminton and an excellent buffet breakfast is included which we both enjoyed. If I’m in the area again I will definitely be returning. Thanks for a great stay.

Fantastic experience: Badminton courts are really good, membership costs around 12 pounds for a year. And shoes + rocket + shuttle included in the membership card every time if you wanna Play. For court booking it is cost based on the peak hours ( Super office - 8, Off - 14, Normal - 18 ).

Fantastic experience: Good Gym to do what I need it for.

Positive experience: Great location for access to Milton Keynes Bowl and the train station. Service and breakfast was 10/10 can not fault it. The rooms are dated and could do with a paint and tidy up, our tap was broken and be careful the water gets HOT! The bed was comfortable and the shower was great, also get free tea and coffee + toiletries. Was fine for a one night stay whilst in town for a concert.

Positive experience: I used this place to stay the night. I don't play badminton either. They serve breakfast and lunch but not dinner - so obviously not catering for anyone staying overnight then.

Fantastic experience: Great place, stayed here , lovely clean rooms , massive beds, and the money they make goes into helping promote badminton

Positive experience: Popped in for breakfast with cousins (members of the gym) who live nearby. £6.00 for a full breakfast. Self-service hot dishes; bacon, sausages, hash browns, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and scrambled eggs. Help yourself to as much as you like, plus toast & marmalde and jam, juices, and coffee. No fuss breakfast at a decent price.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant stay in the hotel..everything was way better than the premier travel inn I stayed the night before.

Positive experience: Came here for the Badminton tournaments, lovely viewing area upstairs with sofas. Car park was good too.

Fantastic experience: Lovely lodge to stay in great rooms lovely friendly staff. Great location and great gym and badminton courts.

Positive experience: I use the gym at this centre. Gym well equipped and equipment in good condition. Alway clean and never overcrowded.

Positive experience: Good for the closeness to the Badminton Hall.

Fantastic experience: Great overnight stay. Clean and comfortable. Good choice of breakfast in the cafe. Excellent value and will use again.

Fantastic experience: Our room and facilities were clean and modern. Breakfast was good, either continental or full English. Parking was good, large car park. Cost was very reasonable. We chose this hotel as we were visiting Bletchley Park and the surrounding area. Will definitely visit this hotel again.

Positive experience: Great badminton courts, good gym and friendly staff. Rooms are a decent size with very comfy beds and nice bathrooms. Good value for money just a little bit basic I guess this is reflected in the price.

Positive experience: I didn't stay at the NBC, so wouldn't know what the room is like. I played in the hall which is really nice for those that play badminton, great bounce good height. It is about £14 an hour there. The gym is simple, nothing fancy.

Positive experience: Only stayed here the once and was nicely surprised by it. Have a few colleagues who recommend it, so I gave it a go. The gym was a nice added bonus. The major downside was that there is no Evening Meal on offer, so after a hard day's work, you still have to go out again to eat, which is not ideal. Breakfast was on offer which gad a nice selection.

Fantastic experience: Was a good experience court's are nice and facilities are top notch... Will definitely be returning

Negative experience: The gym is decent and good for the price you pay but the staff are quite and don't really care what goes on past the reception. Every now and then a staff member might come in to fill up a water bottle but that's about it. The equipment keeps being broken and takes a while to fix which is understandable but shouldn't happen in the first place. I've called them multiple times to talk about my membership and was told the first time within 3 days I will get a call back and never got anything 2 weeks onwards I called again and nothing here I am today a week after leaving yet another voicemail and writing a review that could have been better had they just called me back for a call that takes a couple minutes but I have to wait 3 weeks poor service.

Positive experience: Stayed for 2 days rooms were lovely and it was so peaceful thoroughly enjoyed my stay

Fantastic experience: Superb Badminton courts and facilities

Fantastic experience: Great place with the history of being the centre of the badminton head quarters. Great museum on the history of badminton through the years with great exhibits of rackets and photo's, and detailed explanation on the history of badminton. Great hotel lodge at the centre too, with huge rooms and a big queen size beds, and what could be more than enjoying their breakfast which is excellent, If you want to escape the noise of drunk people around the city centre at weekends, head for this place for peace and quiet. Would highly recommend this place both for badminton and to stay.

Negative experience: The male staff member with a top knot was rude, disrespectful and threatening towards my friends and I. He targeted my friend who suffers from social anxiety and threatened to ban him because we accidentally overstayed our 1 hour slot (this was our first time at the NBC). We will NOT be returning to theNBC and are heavily disappointed with the treatment we were shown.

Fantastic experience: Best location to play Badminton as they have international level courts.

Fantastic experience: Very nice place to play and very affordable

Positive experience: Good.

Fantastic experience: О, мне очень нравится зал.

Fantastic experience: Lovely rooms and great friendly service.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Very clean and professional

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The membership fee is decent and all the classes are included. It's rarely busy at the times that I go ( early AM) so I don't have to wait to use the equipment. The Hit studio is great and I particularly recommend the yoga classes. I don't do them but the spin classes are very popular and you must book your space early. Another bonus is staff and most guests take the sanitation of the equipment seriously with antibacterial spray used before and after every piece of equipment is used. If you are looking for a high octane gym with loud music and grunts this is not for you. If you want a friendly environment with a good level of equipment and classes it is.

Fantastic experience: Used the disabled facilities room this time, as hubby has mobility problems. Great for us both....and all the staff were lovely. Visited during 'big freeze' and room was toasty. Thankyou

Positive experience: Best place for Badminton practice in MK

Negative experience: Arrived 2pm to wait for an hour for room...had I realised it was cashless I would never of booked...I pay cash everywhere and to pay for a coffee on my card is inconvenience and silly when I had the right money...Food wasn't nice, had a sandwich whilst waiting for room to be ready. All I tasted was marg, coffee weak... Got to our room, basic but nice, bed comfy..breakfast wasn't nice though...all in all not the best place to stay

Positive experience: It was more like a Friday plan. It’ll give you a feel of classic badminton courts. Staff is nice and friendly. And you generally don’t complain if you’re into sports, you just get used to things.

Positive experience: Room was exactly as expected and bed was comfortable. Reception staff very friendly. However the breakfast…..food itself was a little cold just like the greeting. My wife was very polite and said good morning to the women that was there. As she looked at my wife and completely blanked her we thought she probably didn’t work there. Turned out she did when she appeared behind the counter. I made the fatal mistake of asking if there was any fried eggs. And had my head bitten off for it as the women promptly told me no we don’t before i had chance to finish. My wife asked politely where the hot water for the tea was. No response, and shoved the kettle at her. As we were sat down wondering what we had done wrong. A very polite lady walked in, made a coffee and as she left said, have a lovely day…..again zero response from this women. We always say thanks when we leave. But we were afraid of getting our head bitten off. Id understand if the women was undergoing some kid of personal stress. But there really is no need to treat people like that. If it wasn’t for everything else being fine, this women would of earned a 1 star I’m afraid.

Positive experience: Upstairs facilities require an upgrade. Great staff everywhere, amazing sports hall

Positive experience: Good facilities, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean, good facility, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Csak az ütőimet húroztattam, de a hely nagyon kellemes atmoszférával rendelkezik, biztosan jó itt sportolni.

Positive experience: Nice place stay. Friendly staff and goo value for money l. Breakfast could and "the barn" could have some improvements but for breakfast being included not bad at all.

Positive experience: Nice friendly staff, great place to get into badminton and the facilities are well kept, clean and ample parking.

Positive experience: I don't understand why i was prompted to write a review. If you saw me you'd know i don't do excersise. However, I did deliver groceries here the other day. It looked a nice place the people i met were helpful and the drive to it was quite pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Surprisingly great. Super clean, spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended as its super fun environment with water machines to refill your bottles

Fantastic experience: Good courts

Positive experience: 1st game of badminton in many years, not too busy & clean facilities will definitely go again

Fantastic experience: Yes Good

Fantastic experience: I've had an amazing time every time I've gone here for the gym and sauna. The sauna is always nice and hot compared to other places I've been too where the sauna would be on only specific hours throughout the day. Gym equipment is always clean and people are friendly and respectful. Also you can refill your water bottle whenever needed which is cool.

Positive experience: Stayed here because we booked last minute tickets to a concert. I was very impressed with the rooms and the facilities available such as the gym and sauna and all the staff were very helpful. The king size bed was the most comfortable sleep I’ve had for a while and the sky channels on the TV were a nice addition. While a comfortable stay I feel there is room for improvement in some areas, for example the bathrooms in the rooms were quite outdated but for a one night stay it wasn’t that much of an issue. The breakfast had a good selection of foods including both English and continental options however by the time we got there at 09:15 the beans and mushrooms were cold. I do feel that £250.00 was quite expensive for a one night stay, but if you take all the facilities in to account it does somewhat balance out. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Milton Keynes but perhaps next time for just the one night I’d definitely put in some more prior preparation and planning and would perhaps would get better value for money if I stayed here for longer. Overall a good hotel and a great place to lay your head after a busy day, would recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Finally managed to play at NBC… and wow, these courts are phenomenal! Located in Milton Keynes, 5 km from Milton Keynes Bowl, National Badminton Centre Lodge & Health Club provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking, a fitness centre and of course, a bar! Very reasonably priced, clean inside and out which is very much appreciated. Membership is less thanks twenty pounds making it Fantasic value! I would definitely return again when visiting MK.
