Saffron Hotel

We stayed here as we couldn't find any other rooms in the area for the night we needed. The room was in the attic, the twin beds were at one end of a narrow long room. The TVs was small and at the other end of the room so could hardly be seen. The bath towels were small, about double the size of the hand towels and the tea spoons with the drinks hadn't been changed since the last occupant.

No heating in room, no hot shower, 45 mins to get breakfast, place need revamping

The hotel was shabby and in need of a thorough refurbish, It felt as if the owners were concentrating on profit with little concern about guests satisfaction or comfort.

Only stayed one night but really enjoyed our stay.The staff we're really friendly and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable.The food was lovely,plenty for breakfast. Good position in high St,which leads to the only downside, limited parking,but there is a big car park 5 mins walk away,so not to much of a problem.All in all can't fault the hotel. I don't understand the negative comments on here,its an old building so you could get a few problems with things,but the staff are so good you only have to ask.would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in the lovely town of Saffron Walden.

The building and setting are historic making for quaint features. The room was comfortable and the space had been ingeniously adapted to fit in a small shower room.

Conveniently situated but very limited parking space so had to park in a public car park some way from the hotel. Good check-in experience and the duty manager offered us an exceptionally good deal for breakfast and dinner. Room was adequate but one window would not shut which meant a lot of traffic noise as the hotel is on a busy road. One light in the bathroom not working and the other one flickering, but the worst point was that the shower mixer was faulty meaning a hot shower was out of the question. On the plus side dinner and breakfast were excellent and exceptional value for money.

Great for one night for the price.

Very poor hotel. No parking within 200m of hotel. Room was very poor, electric not working at first and only a few channels worked on the TV. Bathroom was tiny and shower sprayed everywhere. Breakfast was good and bar/restaurant was nice.

Well placed hotel - friendly staff - limited parking. Bedrooms could do with complete facelift. Nice breakfast.

Poor - pay heavily for the location. Pay a little extra and go elsewhere
