Posizione ottima e staff gentile

L’albergo è rumorosissimo, ogni porta che viene aperta rimbomba nella stanza, è stato difficile riposare

Convenient to where I wanted and needed to be.

Although I booked a single room, it was very small and cramped, albeit comfortable.

"Great location"

6.0

A continental breakfast was supplied, the last time i stayed here i had a fabulous cooked breakfast, told by staff this is to return soon as they have recently taken over the hotel. i was going to the Marlow theatre so the Pilgrims hotel suited me as it was right opposite

The hotel is a very old building and the rooms are quite small, it could probably benefit from a refurbishment, in short i substituted luxury for location

"Great little hotel"

10.0

Fantastic location, right in the center of town. The car park was only a few minutes walk away. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The continental breakfast had plenty of choice. The bed was very comfortable. Best night's sleep I've had in a long time!

There were no negatives. There were a couple of occasions of loud groups walking past the hotel after pub closing time but it was a Saturday night so only to be expected. It didn't bother me at all.
