Ideal for Quality Meals

“I recently visited for a Sunday lunch and I was genuinely impressed. The meal included a choice of three selections for each course, and I opted for the roast beef, which was succulent and tender. The dessert, a millionaire sundae, was absolutely beautiful. The value for money is very nice, with a three-course meal priced at just £12. I will definitely be coming back!” view full review

Spacious Family Room

“We stayed in a family room that was quite spacious, featuring a double bed and bunk beds, along with a cozy sofa. It felt very accommodating, especially with all the extras like a large wardrobe and a dressing table. The bathroom came equipped with ample towels and shower gels, which added to the convenient experience.” view full review

My stay at Bank of Fleet Hotel was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food we had was of great quality with generous portions. However, the guest rooms could really use a refresh, and there was an overpowering smell of disinfectant that lingered both during our stay and the next morning. Overall, it was decent value for what we paid, but I wouldn't want to stay longer than necessary.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. While there were some highlights, like the excellent cooked breakfasts and friendly staff, the overall state of the place is quite disappointing. The decor needs a serious update and the cleanliness in certain areas left much to be desired. At one night for £90, I expected a little more comfort and maintenance overall.
