Reviews and Ratings
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 really enjoyable experience at the hotel, especially with the fantastic meals offered at great prices. The cozy atmosphere and friendly interactions with locals added a nice touch to my stay. The food portions were generous and of excellent quality, but the decor could use some updates. Overall, it's a great spot for good value meals and a welcoming vibe.
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.
Our stay was quite mixed. While the staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent, we faced a few issues like cleanliness and a wobbly bunk bed. The value for money felt off at £90 for one night, especially with some maintenance needed around the pub area.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with friendly service and hearty meals. However, the rooms could use some improvement as they felt a bit dated and cramped for a longer stay. The dining area had a homely atmosphere, but the coffee could definitely be better. Overall, it's a solid option for a budget getaway with a charming character.
