The hotel is very tired and rooms dated with various problems but couldn’t fault the staff. Reasonably priced and good location for Piece Hall gigs so we could forgive a lot. The lobby was smart.

One night in Halifax

Hotel has a Bedroom a nice size but the carpet was dirty and stained, the windows didn't ventilate the room, the bedding was worn and the bath didn't have a plug !!! Arrival was average as was the check out where the receptionist struggled to put down her breakfast. There did not appear to be any breakfasts available from the hotel fortunately a number of local run cafes a few streets away.

A good honest hotel in a great location in the centre of Halifax, with extremely helpful staff. Whilst not as grand as it once was, fantastic value for money. Bedding and towels immaculately laundered, and plenty of tea bags in the room, so you know you’re in Yorkshire!

Traditional style hotel right in the centre of Halifax. We paid £8.75 on Just Park app for just over 24 hours parking at the nearby Woolshops shopping centre. Very easy to find car park and Hotel. The room was basic but very clean. We couldn’t get the terrestrial TV channels to work but we could access Netflix and YouTube/Prime by using our own accounts. The Italian restaurant next door was amazing. The only down side was that there was a bit of noise from revellers at pub closing time which is the price you pay for having such a central location.

Room (200) is fairly basic but clean. Fine for a night. Tv wasn’t working but wasn’t staying long enough to use it. Sink slow to drain and plug doesn’t seal, bath slow to drain and toilet needed a bike revving action to flush. Just needs a competent handyman and more regular function checks by management.

Terrible, filthy, small, staff useless .

Walls had damp stains, bathroom floor was filthy, bedroom covered in dust. Bed was tiny for a couple wasn’t even a standard double. Tv didn’t work we complained and staff didn’t care. We did inform them we would be leaving a bad review and still didn’t care. Would have left if we hadn’t already paid, it was my birthday night out and tbh a hostel would have been better. I didn’t sleep all night we left asap 7am. Lift also broke on way down and worked only when it wanted which when your on 3rd floor is a nightmare. Wouldn’t recommend. Wouldn’t go back. Disgusted I even paid £60+ for that.

Ok quality, though no meals or breakfast available. The building has been very grand in the past. The room was very spacious although a bit soulless. Bathroom smelt damp.

The hotel is quite old, which is quite nice, it has character, but they don't do food and it's pretty dirty. The water coming out of the taps was filthy, so I couldn't shower and am hoping I wont get ill from brushing my teeth!

Nice Stay

This hotel is very underrated, don't listen to any bad reviews, it was very clean and comfortable, staff were very pleasant, theres someone on reception 24/7 so felt safe there as a lone female traveller. No breakfast but macdonalds nearby or plenty of places to eat. Great location, 5 mins from train station, or 2 mins from bus station.

The hotel had only just re-opened that week, having been closed for 8 months for refurbishment ... in fact when i went online to confirm the time of my arrival, having booked with Expedia, I was somewhat worried to find that it said the hotel was closed! Fortunately it wasn't when I got there, but since there was no wifi, as it had been closed for so long, they hadn't been able to update the website. So please don't worry, it IS open, and the new nice friendly staff are doing everything in their power to get it up and running again up to its old standards. We were disappointed to find that, having booked and paid for a continental breskfast throuigh Expedia, that there was actually none available as yet at the hotel, but the manager arranged for us to have whatever we wanted at a local cafe in one of the lovely arcades, so again, they really are doing their best. Once the new owners have got the last few bits and pieces together, I'm sure it will be an excellent option to stay at when in Halifax, and we would be happy to stay there again. Thank you for a most pleasant stay.
