Great central location if visiting the Piece Hall, friendly staff. Hotel is dated and a little run down in parts. Requested twin room and had a large room with a double and single bed in, bathroom large, complimentary toiletries, tea/coffee facilities, kettle very clean/new. Beds comfy and clean. The room rates reflect the standard of hotel, basic but all you need for a night.

After reading the reviews we were quite anxious about what to expect. Overall we had a good one night stay. The bedding was clean. Its a beautiful building but could do with a big renovation. Would probably not stay again. Didn't pay much, so didnt expect much.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean but the bathroom needed some maintenance…fittings were broken and the lock was too. Decor was tired and needed updating in general, though I’m not sure what they are allowed to do being Grade 2 listed. Ideally situated in the middle of Halifax so great for the shops and sites. Too expensive so not great value.

Firstly location is great as very central - easy reach of train and bus stations, shops etc. Staff friendly and informative. Room was very clean and had a fan, tea and coffee. Furnishings are dated but serviceable. Bed was very comfortable with soft pillows. Bit of a rabbit warren getting to room up and down stairs. There is a lift but it's slow. Would stay again as such a great location.

Room was small with no view. Have just looked and we booked a deluxe room with a city view. If we had a deluxe room I dread to think was a standard room looks like. Bed too soft. View was a wall and windows. Used sanitary towel pushed behind the toilet
