You can’t hear noise from the bar which is great. Depending on which room you have (we’ve stayed twice) you can hear through the walls - we could hear cleaners in the morning. The manager kindly sent on lost property which we were grateful for.

Liked: Cleanliness
My experience was terrible. Where do i begin there was so many errors. I booked my stay a month ahead and they rang me up the day before to tell me that expedia hadnt allocated a room for me it turns out that the hotel booking system kicked me out of the room and booked it out to someone else. I was very angry as you can imagine being told the day before I'm due to stay that i have no room. They then rang me back quite late on that day telling me i now have a room which was good as i was going to a party in the room upstairs.Upon arrival next day thinking they would go that extra mile but no they showed us to a totally different room that was not what i had paid for i was extremelly angry again to be told it was a mistake and showed us to the room i had booked. The room was ok furniture was a bit tatty and the bed was not that comfy very soft. The bathroom was new and was the best part of the stay. They did offer us free breakfast but only after complaining the second time. We sat down for breakfast and waited an hour to be told again that we had been forgotten and blamed it on the system even though they new they had only given us a cuppa and no breakfast. The customer service is non existant so dont expect any. Would i stay here again well im sure you know the answer to that absolutly not. I've never stayed anywhere like it and i wouldn't recommemd you do either unless you eant to be forgotten 😆

Lovely room

A slight problem with the laundry meant that we had to wait until 7.30pm for our bed to be fully made up, however the room was lovely and the homemade shortbread added a nice touch. The bathroom was gorgeous with a big bath plus a walk-in shower.

Spacious, comfortable room

Stayed in the townhouse rooms, very spacious and quiet, lovely bathroom. Couple of little niggles such as worn furniture but nothing to detract from stay. Very large comfortable bed. Breakfast was included which we hadn't realised so that was a bonus. Excellent location for Lancaster.

Very nice stay in centre of Lancaster.

Very nice stay at the Borough. As it’s an Inn and the check in area is behind the (sometimes very busy) bar area it can be a bit of battle getting through people with your bags. But that is really the only criticism. Room I stayed in was very nice with a very high quality wet room bathroom. Nice in room amenities including premium tea and coffee. Good breakfast and all staff very nice.

Lovely, spacious and comfy stay

We stayed in the Townhouse Luxury suite which is situated in a separate building from the main hotel and accessed from a quiet road to the side. The room was spacious and nicely decorated, bed was huge and very comfy. The pillows and linens were very nice too. Bathroom was also spacious and nicely decorated with a very large shower which was lovely, even if the water pressure wasn't great, the temperature was constant. A full length mirror in the room would have been nice, but otherwise was very happy with our stay.

Nice hotel if your room isn't above a birthday do

The hotel is in a great location in the town and within a minute's stroll of the main street. The room was spotless, with a huge walk in shower. The beds were comfortable, however, they were very narrow, but that wasn't an issue. We'd had a long day and went up to our room to relax at 8 pm. Unfortunately there was a 30th birthday party in the room below us and, however much we tried to ignore the noise, it was impossible to even hear our television. Perhaps the hotel should take that into consideration when putting guests in rooms 8 or 9.

THE BOROUGH- LANCASTER

The staff at the Borough are young and extremely helpful and polite. I would strongly recommend the hotel.it overlooks a beautiful square. The only points I bring to anyones attention are the following;The rooms are up 2( two) flights of stairs.Although the staff carried my luggage. 2. The shower is all marbled walls and floor it looks smart and it was spotlessly clean. But,no Shower matt. So I found it slippery under foot after showering for 2+.,minutes.. It's a £4 taxi tide from Lancaster Station ( Esst Side) or a 12 minute walk through Lancaster, itself.
