Angel & Royal is the second oldest hotel in the UK. Unfortunately it is looking tired and in need of updating managerially. You are greeted with no check in until 4.00pm unless you pay for an early check in. Then strangely for the locale you are asked to pay for parking £4.00 in their car park.(Grantham is NOT a vibrant town centre). Breakfast at A&R is £17.99 per person extra. Not a good start for a hostelry with so much history. We were allocated room 103. A junior suite room. A good size rooms with dated furniture, but with a modern bathroom. The windows, window nets and curtains were not fully functioning. The large bed was comfortable. However directly across from the room was the kitchen and kitchen fans. These were not turned off until circa 9.45pm. Perhaps the mood of the Hotel reflects the mood of the town - moving into a spiral of depression!

Excellently located to wander around Grantham centre. Key code operated car park was a welcome addition and was only £4 for one nights / two day trip. Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming but it appeared there was nobody on hand to help with baggage up the stairs, unfortunately. The room was very clean but was tired in places and so was the bathroom - most of the woodwork could do with a spruce up but the suite was in good condition. I would definitely stay here again should I have the need to visit Grantham.
