This is a good hotel, well run with good food. The only thing they could improve on is the information on their restaurant. It is Egon Ronay recomended but only the table d'hôte menu (excellent but limited) and bar menu is available Monday to Thursday. A full a là carte menu is available at the weekend. I was told by different staff that the restaurant was closed Monday & Tuesday (untrue) fully open (untrue) and, correctly, open all week but the full a là carte menu only available at the weekend. The hotel is well positioned with its own car park.

Absolutely lovely. We were upgraded to a suite. The room was huge spotlessly clean and kept well. Complimentary minibar was a nice surprise and it was great having both shower and bath. Breakfast had an excellent choice and was generally good quality. The full English was ok but not the best but on second had excellent other choices. Service throughout was excellent.

The hotel was very nice, staff were friendly. The only issue we had was the net curtains had dirty marks on them, bus we informed reception and it was cleaned. The room was nice but as thick as the curtains were the gap at each end caused daylight to shine through so was awoken around 6am

We had reasonably high hopes of Greyfriars and, unusually in today's Britain, they exceeded them all. Our arrival was difficult, co-inciding as it did with some cycling event that denied us car access to the hotel. This was soon emolliated by the excellent reception staff and the sheer quality of the room and guest experience. The room was stunning. Clean, stylish and with a bathroom equipped with a double shower, large bath and top-quality fittings. Comfortable bed. Top quality accessories such as an espresso machine and drawer-mounted drinks set. Above all, the welcome includes a modestly provisioned mini-bar, which is gratis. You tend not to see that so much, these days. Food. Given the overall guest experience it was predictably good and the service flawless. Combine this with the breakfast experience, then all I can suggest is that whoever is responsible for the restaurant, they are exceptionally good. I cannot recall any downside. I would return to Greyfriars in a heartbeat. Well done to all the fantastic staff!

A beautiful hotel! The decor is outstanding and the staff and service excellent too A great room with a really comfortable bed, impeccable cleanliness with a fantastic shower - all very modern and classy with extra little touches like the little lights on each stair up to the bedroom A wonderful breakfast included with the price, which was a great way to start my day at work locally

Stayed at GreyFriars for our Anniversary as it was conveniently located to the restaurant we were visiting. We couldn’t fault the hotel or the service we received. Upon checking in the lovely lady in reception told us that we had been upgraded to a junior suite. The room was beautifully furnished and elegant with plenty of space. Little extras, such as Nespresso machine and complementary coffee pods as well as mini fridge with drinks was a pleasant addition. The only slight improvement would be better lighting due to the windows being small for the size of the room. This would have made getting ready easier. Breakfast was faultless and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and polite which made our stay all the better. We will definitely be back.

It was an excellent start to our UK vacation, quiet room, nice, comfortable dining room/pub. As we were visiting a local resident, I can’t speak to transportation or shopping.
