The location is excellent as is the bar with great choice of beers and wines, the breakfast is also very good and the service from all the colleagues there is without fault. The room is very dated and the bathroom is also very old. It leaves the space feeling cold and lacking any real atmosphere/experience which in a property of this age is really disappointing. At the price it's hard to complain but there is better accommodation at the same price.
The bathroom and decor.

Great Location for this old Hotel in the centre of Town, easy to park and quaint 'olde' world Public House
We had to move room within 30 minutes of arrival due to the smoking of a 'substance' in an adjacent room.
Rooms were good if a little dated and I was surprised not to have a regulated shower mixer, just a sign warning of very hot water !
On 2nd evening we went to dining area for a meal, to be told by a very uninterested staff member that the area was 'fully' booked even though only a few diners were there at that time. After saying we were residents the male staff member simply turned away saying they had a 'large' group arriving. The bar area was full so we had to look elsewhere.
Imagine our annoyance upon returning 30 minutes later to find the dining area still empty. I took pictures then and a 30 minute intervals and nobody arrived. leaving the conclusion that staff told an untruth and cared little.

Great position on the lovely main street of Marlborough, friendly, helpful staff and a nice sized, comfortable room.
The hotel is atmospheric, but in need of updating.

The location in the centre of town was great. The breakfast was good.
The decoration of the room was tired and knocked about the edges. There weren’t enough chairs at breakfast time. The tea/coffee making facilities were limited and the water for the coffee was lukewarm.

Nice clean room, pleasant helpful staff. Breakfast plentiful and tasty. Location great, right in the heart of Marlborough.

A delightful weekend stay. Although the hotel was full, staff were attentive and the room was very quiet. The room and the hotel generally was very clean and tidy. Evening Meal was delicious, served by happy staff!
The room was perfectly clean but slightly tired looking in places. Unable to open the windows. The cooked part of breakfast was slightly disappointing. Very dry scrambled eggs and solid poached eggs. Nowhere near the quality of the evening meals.

Perfect location! In the high street, surrounded by pubs, shops and restaurants. Good breakfast and evening meals. Rooms were clean and shower was awesome! Large car park
8.0
Breakfast very good value for money with lots of choice. Free parking a bonus, central location excellent for browsing the shops & eating out.
Good value for money if just needing a room for a one-night visit passing through the area.
Bathroom cleanliness not great. Shower head needed descaling or replacing. One light bulb not working.
