Guest Reviews

• chelsey (10/5): - Everything. Was fabulous Nothing
• Wah (8/5): Was nice - Was handy for the town Bathroom was a bit small
• Michael (9/5): -
• Lisa (8/5): -
• Winn (10/5): Cleanest room I've ever stayed in - This was the cleanest room I have ever stayed in, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the included in the very reasonably room price coffee biscuits and other freebies where excellent. The only issue was the shower door needs a slight repair as it didn't meet correctly. I'm sure it will be sorted.
• Isobel (8/5): - Great location and lovely rooms. Staff were very helpful
• Maureen (10/5): Couldn’t have asked for a better welcome or stay. Room was clean, comfortable and staff wonderful. - Facilities were excellent. Staff attentive and knowledgeable. Nothing

• Christy (10/5): Quiet room near everything - Clean, comfortable, quiet, and a great location. Highly recommend! Everything was good.
• Jane (8/5): Very comfy bed and complimentary items where excellent - Very clean room and friendly staff The room was a bit cold couldn’t get the radiator to turn on .. though they had left instructions it didn’t seem to work
• Ally (10/5): Another excellent stay - As usual.our stay at this marvellous hotel was exemplary as always. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The location is excellent. We can't walk very far and find this hotel ideal for getting in and out of town as it is minutes away. The room is lovely, the bed actually has a mattress that is comfortable and cost more that £2.50 unlike a.lot of establishments! We cannot recommend this hotel.more highly. It is not a dislike but it would be nice to have a comfy chair or small sofa.to sit and relax on as the room is big enough.
• Adrienne (10/5): Will definitely book this hotel again - Ideal location with a car park right beside the hotel. The staff were lovely and friendly. Our room was modern, clean, the bed was very comfortable and there was even a breakfast tray with porridge, orange juice, croissants and breakfast bars which was a lovely touch.
• Tony (10/5): - As always when staying at this property the staff are impecible and the faciluties are clean and well presented, fantastic location also. N/A

• Kate (10/5): Great, friendly place in a perfect location! - Staff were incredibly friendly and the room was lovely. They'd thought of lots of things like how to get back into the room at night once the pub was shut and even though they don't serve food, they left a breakfast basket for us. Nothing, spot on!
• Rachel (7/5): Good location. Friendly staff - Value for money. Clean and comfortable Food in the bar area would have been nice

• Philip (9/5): - Nice room , breakfast provided in room was a nice touch
• Blackness13 (10/5): Great small hotel in Lancaster - great location, rooms, staff & a nice bar area - Staff were lovely and nothing was a problem. Lovely twin bedded room in the old stable block (I think). Clean and tidy. Lovely old hotel with a great bar & open fire that we managed to get a seat beside for a wee wine. Fairly central location - not too far to train station if you are walking and easy access to canal, shops, bars, cafes etc Would totally book this hotel again if I was visiting Lancaster again (which I likely will as I really liked it!)
• Martin (9/5): Great stopover - Welcoming reception, spotlessly clean room, quiet despite being in the centre of town and a very comfortable bed on which I got 10+ hours sleep! Extremely good value for money. Nothing, can't fault it for the price.
• Jackie (8/5): Would stay again - Room was quiet big bed was comfy and not to far from everything Nothing
• Helen (10/5): - It was close to town centre and other amenities.
• Jasmin (10/5): lovely one night stay - showed to room by very friendly staff.. nice clean room with a big comfy bed ! nice modern bathroom, shower had good water pressure. provided little tray of breakfast goodies which was lovely ! very close to the centre and near to bars and restaurants. nothing our stay was great :)
• U9928LFanitao (10/5): very pleasant stay - Very clean, comfortable rooms with a lovely breakfast basket which was a lovely unexpected touch . Lovely friendly helpful staff and nice bar. Situated where everything is just a short walk away.
• Jake (9/5): -
• Robert (10/5): - Nice hotel lovely staff R
• Andrew (8/5): Friendly and comfortable - Exceptionally friendly welcome and lovely staff. Room clean and tidy. Shame they don’t offer kitchen service. Ideally located in centre of Lancaster Lack of cooked food
• James (10/5): -
• JINGJING (10/5): -
• Michael (6/5): -
• kevin (10/5): Love to know where they got pillows from soooo comfy. - Close to town centre and train station Can’t find a fault with it.
• ESP2006 (8/5): Post Christmas Afternoon Tranquillity - This is a review of the bar only. Last year the bar wasn’t open to non-residents (as far as we could tell) when we stopped in the area between Christmas and New Year but this year we popped in on the Tuesday afternoon before the New Year crowds. It was quiet, but that gave us opportunity to have a nice chat with a local customer and also get some friendly guidance from the bar staff on the gin and tonic front – very enjoyable! Lovely Christmas decorations too! A very pleasant and relaxing interlude. The white wine was, apparently, up to scratch too. There were 2-3 real ales on tap if I had been in the mood. A nice watering hole for a quiet afternoon.
• Kerry (9/5): Brilliant hotel and would definitely book again. - Fantastic location for shopping and the theatre which was the main purpose of our visit. Lovely room, impressed that we had a breakfast box! And the pub and beer garden were fab too. Nothing
• malcolm (10/5): - Comfortable bed, friendly staff, location and a mini breakfast pack. No dislikes.
• Chris (10/5): -
• PurposefulAdventurin (10/5): Central location - Great location in the centre of town and despite being on a busy street, double-glazing more than coped with traffic noise. Large and airy, clean en-suite rooms (14 in all) over several floors (no lifts). Set of keys enabled freedom of movement when bar was shut. No food service but plenty of nearby eating places. Excellent customer service, strongly recommend.
• Steven (8/5): - Friendly & helpful staff No breakfast
• Eli (9/5): -
• Derek (9/5): Lovely stay - All N/A
• William (10/5): -
• Robert (6/5): Expected better given the rating. - Great location and very friendly receptionist. The room was near a pub kitchen so fans were running late. There were lights coming from the door and the windows which meant it was not very dark. The breakfast was basically a sad looking wrapped pastry and a biscuit.
• Kathy from Canada (8/5): Would recommend this hotel. - Breakfast box, was well thought out and generous. Quiet even on the weekend. People weren't noisy or out late despite it being the Light up Lancaster weekend. Room itself could have been a titch bigger. Bathroom was nice We had a plumbing problem in shower and they attended to it immediately, We felt the price was higher than we expected for off season away from the big cities
• Rebecca (9/5): -
• Paul Wood (10/5): -
• Braham (9/5): Have been there twice now, always a great stay.Lovely staff and lovely clean rooms. - Very clean and lovely room. Wonderful added bonus of a breakfast box. Just wish they had a comfortable chair to sit on.
• James (10/5): Lovely place to stay and we will be back - Clean, comfortable beds,well maintained and very helpful staff. Easy access arrangements
• Jaclyn (8/5): -
• Cristina (10/5): Sitio acogedor en el centro de la ciudad - La habitación muy acogedora un poco pequeña , el baño también especialmente la ducha . La ubicación es muy buena y son muy amables. El precio es un poco caro por lo que te ofrecen . Pero esta muy bien por la localización y la amabilidad de su servicio . En realidad el precio por noche que es bastante elevado para la zona y el desayuno es muy básico podrían mejorar ese servicio con un desayuno mejor.
• Ann (8/5): Enjoyable very location and very pleasant staff - Efficient and friendly staff No main entrance to rooms
• John (10/5): -
• Tilly (10/5): Lovely place to stay while dropping daughter off at university - Location Friendly helpful staff Loved the breakfast basket
• Tim (9/5): - Really loved the place. Friendly and helpful staff. Central but still close to main routes for work links. Clean and comfortable room that was peaceful at night. Nice little breakfast basket was very considerate and plenty of extra tea and coffee available if necessary. Probably a weird one from me that most would say is a must. Heating was set to 22°. Really toasty - so the first thing I did was turn it off. Personal choice but very considerate of the staff to make it toasty!
• Sebastian (6/5): - Nice bar No breakfast served
• Dawid (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful bartender who brought my luggage to my room.
• Manoj (6/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean. It had a cracked ceiling, traffic noise all night so not had a good night sleep. Noise from other room above could be heard. Bathroom temperature very different to the room as it was quite cold. Parking is a pain as it’s on a first come first serve basis. I had to park far away. Good location but will no good for me.
• Edward (8/5): - Staff very friendly. Room is simple but comfortable. Kettle was broken and TV had no volume on BBC1.
• Cristina (8/5): -
• David (7/5): - Great location and staff Heating and shower weren’t great. Over priced for what offered
• Shaun (9/5): Would recommend - Great location / great staff Good stay - rooms a bit tired - but priced accordingly
• Paul Tovell (10/5): - Great location, plenty of space in the room, good wifi. Lots of tea and coffee in the room.
• Trevor (4/5): -
• Vivian (10/5): - Very clean and spacious— will definitely recommend it
• richardhW8203JR (8/5): Great hotel highly recommend. - Great location , welcoming and friendly staff, the room was spotless, and the shower was brilliant , one of the comfiest beds we’ve slept on, they don’t do breakfast but a lovely basket of porridge pots croissant and cereal bar to go with your coffee in the room , the bar has a good selection of real ales, we had the car parking spot which you can book and it’s in a locked courtyard on an evening. Would definitely go there again.
• Victoria (8/5): Lovely comfy room in good location - The room was in an annex away from the bar, so it was quiet. The beds were comfy, the shower was great and the toiletries were nice. There was a hairdryer and continental style breakfast in the room. The location was convenient, and while the hotel doesn't have parking, there are plenty of car parks nearby. There were no lights above the mirrors, which made getting ready for a meal out challenging. The breakfast basket had been left on the bed, but crumbs from previous guests meals fell through the bottom and onto the clean bed - maybe put it on the worktop next time! The kettle didn't have a socket nearby.
• Lynne (9/5): -
• Fiona (8/5): - The room is really clean with comfy beds, a good size bathroom and lovely shower. No reception at the hotel, just the bar. No car park and the nearest one was full.
• Ken (8/5): - not included
• Janet (8/5): The hotel was downtownoabd close to the castle, Pubs, and shops. - The location
• Job (10/5): -

• Brian (8/5): -
• Duckworth (10/5): Hotel before Riverside half marathon - Fantastic hotel and bar. We were very kindly upgraded, the room was fantastic with a really comfy bed. Breakfast on a tray to make yourself was a really nice touch. Bar was also great with local beers and board games.
• Jackie (9/5): -
• RIDDELL (9/5): -
• Carol (1/5): - Nothing The fact that our door was bent and they didn’t have a spare one so it took us ages to get in every time, didn’t offer us a another room just left us to it , as our daughter have moved to Lancaster and we live in Norwich we will be visiting Lancaster several times a year but never will we stay in your hotel again
• Brian (10/5): -
• Lindylou5656 (10/5): Great place - highly recommended - We are just about to leave this hotel and I felt compelled to write a review. We had a fantastic welcome and the warmth and friendliness of the staff was consistent throughout our stay. The room is clean and well facilitated. The bed is soooooo comfortable with good quality bedding. The shower - excellent and a lovely generous breakfast basket just topped it off. Great location and value for money.
• Catherine (10/5): The kindness and hospitality of the staff I will like to come back and vacation here again. Very lovely. - Everything especially the history of the Hotel. N/A - nothing!
• Frances (10/5): - Extremely friendly staff, who were helpful throughout the stay, very clean rooms and all efforts made to make up for the lack of a kitchen with continental breakfast provided in the room. Quiet, and well organised, excellent value.
• Jeannette (5/5): Passable -
