Every aspect of our 7 day stay was the best experienced by my wife and I when compared to the many dozens of hotels and restaurants we have enjoyed. Highly recommend The Black Boy Inn!

Great spot. Terrible customer service.
The location was great. The room was great. But the person that I spoke to on the phone prior to arrival was very rude. I ended up not being able to cancel my trip which I understand because it was non-cancel no cancel, but she was so rude about it that she wouldn’t even let me speak And that’s unacceptable. Also check out is at 11 and we went to get our bags at 10:59 and our keys didn’t work anymore. We travel all over the world that’s never happened before we had to go back down to the desk and get a new key overall it felt like they felt like we were taking advantage of them , so although it was a beautiful location and the room was very comfortable I would never go back because I don’t like being treated that way by anyone especially not a hotel.

Lovely place to stay
Great location and our room no 21 was very well appointed and comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious with a power shower and very clean. We had breakfast which was superb value for money and the service outstanding. This is a pub/hotel full of character. The staff here are friendly and accommodating. We will be back

The website is not transparent at all….we had to climb 40 stairs to our rooms, and on arrival we were told there was no parking, so we had to park 500 metres away. Really inconvenient. Our room was small and stuffy, with scaffolding directly outside our window. Noisy tradesman started working early in the morning. Would never stay here again, nor would I recommend it.

Historic and wonderfully located
So much history in this lovely hotel. Great location too. The staff was excellent. Special shout out to Alwan at reception and Dilman (I hope I remembered the name correctly) our waiter at breakfast. Only negative is because the hotel is so wonderfully historic, there is no lift and the stairs are difficult to navigate especially with bags. The beams in the first room we were given would have made the middle of the night bathroom run a bit of a challenge.

Very nice property. Using the shower is a challenge as it’s a risky situation and not for the aging.
