Very basic clean single room, good comfortable single bed. Small television boasting a few Freeview channels. Electric kettle, cup and drinking glass provided together with coffee, tea, milk sachets Very thin walls, you'll hear all that's happening in the adjoining rooms. Took a shower in the communal bathroom but no hot water! OK as a shelter for ONE night.

2nd stay, would stay again

Affordable option which is ideal for the Piece Hall. No bells and whistles but homely. Small and independant and good to support a local business. Not the ritz but quirky, clean and comfortable.

Good, clean hotel.

The only slightly disconcerting thing was all the signs saying don't do drugs in the hotel... but it was a lovely, quiet, well appointed room. The Manager was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

There was a very friendly and helpful welcome from Jackie, the manager. The room was tidy, clean with an extremely comfortable bed. You need to watch your head on the beams in that room but it has superb views and was both warm and remarkably quiet for a pub. Recommended

Good hotel great staff. Only minus is after hours entry to your room. You need a key to get in then a code to get to the rooms why not just use the key or have one door, hard to remember a code when streaming lol

The actual building is used as a sports training venue for both young and adults. Very secure parking and finding a decent restaurant facility in the area might be a bit of a search. Very clean and accommodating. Very close to the Motorway 411 and so clear run to Luxembourg.

The Old Post Office is easy to find from the bus station. A warm welcome from the manager and easy to follow instructions for getting in out of hours. Room is cosy and comfortable. The Old Post Office is just a 5-10 minute walk to the Minster. If you’re going to a show at the Minster, you can’t go wrong staying over at The Old Post Office.

Such a cute little hotel with lots of history! we were welcomed by Jacqui with a huge smile and she checked us in early and had a great conversation with her as we had a beer, made us feel instantly at home! everything was clean and tidy the room was spacious and bed was very comfortable! It was just across the road from the piece hall and town and so easy to get to! we would definitely stay here again! Again, can't thank Jacqui enough for her hospitality and kindness! :)

Great location with a friendly northern welcome. Bedding was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. The whole place could do with a deep clean, refurb and a refresh. Out of hours entry was via back of the pub and wasn't very well lit. Toilet and shower were on the floor below. The small bolt on the toilet door didn't really work. Locks on rooms were Yale locks, which felt a bit inadequate. I'd recommend a stay here if you're going to a gig with a bunch of mates. However. I wouldn't really recommend for a female solo traveller or for longer stays.
