Dreadful “car park” can’t use before 3pm check in. £20 to park. Difficult to turn car, reverse onto 2 lane one way busy street. Old hotel, staff trying hard to provide good service. Lovely outdoor seating courtyard area. No air con but fans provided.

The Building is an old one. However, interesting and clean.The Rooms are dated and furniture needs updating. Bed clean and comfortable the en-suite very good and shower efficient. The Breakfast very good and plenty of variety. The Car Park too small restrictive and dangerous. The Receptionists and Staff very helpful courteous and lovely.

Don’t judge a book…

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and it’s true for this hotel, but not how you would expect. First impressions were good. You approach through a lovely courtyard and into reception, where the greeting was warm and inviting. It was refreshing to be greeted by local people for a change. We were shown most of the way to our room, but from here on in, things went downhill a bit. Our room (84) was stiflingly hot with no air con and the windows were shut. A fan had been provided but due to the heat, it only blew hot air around. There were no net curtains in the window, so although we weren’t overlooked, it felt a bit exposed. The window was filthy. There was no ventilation in the bathroom and the mirrors weren’t heated so after a shower or bath, you had to clean the mirror before use. The bath wasn’t as clean as it should be, there being hair in the drain. During the night we were disturbed by music from the night club across the street, which was a little surprising as it looked empty every time I looked out the window. We had fish and chips in the hotel in the evening which was quite mediocre, but breakfast (buffet) was better. I wouldn’t say I had any complaints, as such but the room certainly needs some TLC.

Excellent accommodation, very conveniently located. Easy bus to Stonehenge and within walking distance of so many attractions. It’s an old building with many expected quirks. The courtyard is beautiful and relaxing to take a beer.

What looks like an amazing hotel on arrival is sadly very (very) tired and past its best. An overwhelming smell of damp pursuits. Avoid.

The property was in the heart of Salisbury so it was only a fifteen minutes walk from the Train station and I didn't have much luggage, so not having to walk far helped. The ambience of the hotel was good especially the outside area where you can just sit and enjoy the flowers and the vines. The hotel is near shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and I got a complimentary upgrade from a single room to a double room. The room had everything I needed and was clean and the breakfast in the morning had a good variety. The only thing that didn't work was thr TV I fancied watching TV on the big screen but couldn't. For a four star hotel this isn't good. I mentioned this to staff at check out. The rooms had enough towels and toiletries for me.

Location great, hotel very average for the money

I stayed whilst working in the area. I have to say I've stayed in fair nicer hotels for less money! The room was averagely clean, dust in the bathroom, no where to store wash bag other than the floor. The room was not replenished with tea/coffee one morning and dirty cups remained. The breakfast was self service, no decent coffee (latte etc was charged as an extra) very basic again for the money. Having said that, the location was fantastic but I just felt it was quite expensive for what was provided.
