Lisa

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff were lovely. Room very clean. However, due to the age of the hotel, our bedroom windows did not close and the traffic was very noisy all night as it overlooked a main road. We also could not adjust the heating settings, as the dial was fixed. Breakfast was great, location fabulous, style very quaint.

Entrance via noisy bar/restaurant but quiet in the room, which was comfortable but too hot. Excellent location just outside the cathedral close. Good breakfast selection, nicely cooked, but served on cold plates.

The rooms are old but quite charming and the amenities in the room were the same you'd expect at any hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast was fantastic. We also sat down in their restaurant for dinner and I can honestly say it was one of the best we had all around England!

It is an old hotel (antique in fact giving it’s been operating for 800 years), so no wall are straight, floors are uneven, hallways are narrow, and there is no elevator. But the conditions are ell kept, and the staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. We would definitely stay there again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The male staff member who checked was excellent, throughout the whole stay. Unfortunately there was an older man on the staff, whose abrupt attitude and inpatients was verging on being rude. Shame had two separate incidents with him during our short stay. Shame let the side down. The breakfast layup was good. Just one criticism, If your offering yoghurt , fruit and cereals. There is a very good chance the guest might like to take advantage of the offering, before you rush out the pre ordered cooked breakfast, which my case was virtually cold once I had finished by yoghurt. Also serving Avocado and poached eggs on thin sliced brown bread, unfortunately becomes a soggy mess. Im not saying I didn’t enjoy what I had, but, if you check with ypur guest when you xan bring out the hot food first and serve them avocados and poached eggs on toasted sourdough would produce a nice crisp base.

An excellent hotel. So close to the heart of Salisbury and so friendly. Room was excellent, comfortable bed separate bath and shower. Restaurant was brilliant and I recommend the South African dishes. Pre-ordered breakfast which my wife had to cancel the following morning but this was no problem. I will definitely stay at the Chapter House on my next visit.
