An extremely relaxing place to stay in Wakefield . A wonderful big double bed and a very nice room in an historic building . Sliding double glazing makes it soundproof too . Staff were very friendly , very informal and very patient with me as I'm not the best with key codes ! 😄. It's a pity I was very tired or would have sampled the pub which looked very homely . Very near to the Westgate railway station and only a few minutes walk into town with it's stunning cathedral and tempting cafes . The owners are considering putting a breakfast option in and this would be welcome although there are places in town and a nice cake shop next door but two ! A very nice overnight stop 😊 !

I stay here a few nights a month for work, it's spot on value for your money, it's not the Ritz but your not paying for the Ritz either! Clean and tidy, big comfy beds what more do you need? It's over a pub so can be a bit noisy until closing time but it's not stopped me from getting an early night. Staff are friendly and helpfull. Bar is good (bring back the pork sctratchings machine!) drinks aren't expensive and has pool table, darts board & most football games on. There's 5/6 different food takeaways up & down the street or numerous sit down restaurants just up the road. Free parking (6pm-8am) in public car park opposite.

The hotel is attached to a great pub. On arrival we were greeted by the Bar Manager and her fantastic staff. The locals were also very welcoming and this just added to our stay. The beer was excellent and good value for money and the bar has a pool table and dart board. The rooms were warm and well appointed, the decor and furnishings were very good quality. In fact the whole building has great kerb appeal. It is in an excellent location, ideally situated for the centre of town and the busy nightlife. A fantastic find and our group will be back, god willing
We liked everything about the hotel and bar

The room was excellent, large and clean and with a lovely window view, it was a really nice surprise as it was a last minute booking for work. One of the nicest rooms I have stayed in on Wakefield
Being hit on by men In the bar when I was just trying to get to my accommodation. The manager/owner was good at dealing with this and completely not the owners fault but as a solo traveller for work it was intimidating and it's a shame men have to ruin everything. It's really good accommodation

Giant, very comfortable bed, lovely, newly decorated, modern and spacious room and bathroom.
No waste paper bin in the room Only a tiny bit of toilet roll, so had to track down a staff member late at night to ask for more. On being checked in, I had settled in the room when a lady (assuming staff) used the keypad outside the room and walked in on me.

The room was lovely and beautifully decorated. Spotlessly clean room with all amenities needed.
The communal areas where you access the rooms from are tired looking and let the place down a bit as it isn't a true representation of the beautiful rooms.

Close to Westgate Station and the town centre. Lovely big rooms. Modern and clean. Lovely old building.
It would be nice to be able to control the temperature of the room yourself. I think the TV only works in regards to your own app accounts. A little bit of noise from outside. None of these were deal breakers and all 3 of us would go back.

Central location, friendly staff , clean room, comfortable bed, decent shower
Very loud music from early afternoon Needed a rest and didn’t get one The code system for getting in was complicated and the writing on the card you were given was very small - super stressful when it didn’t work first time

The room was lovely and looked exactly like the pictures. It's located within a few minutes walk of the train station which was perfect for me. There was also a huge retail park about a ten minute walk away with a variety of food options. This will definitely be my first choice when I am visiting the area.
Nothing.

Room was lovely, huge bed. Everything needed was there. Windows had sliding screens that when shut, kept all the heat in and the noise out. Large dressing table area. Very close to all the bars in the main part of town. We will be staying again 👍🏼
