Heartily recommend

I was in Halifax for a work trip and stayed here while a colleague stayed at a different hotel which was about the same price. We had completely opposite experiences in terms of comfort and quality, and should either of us go to Halifax again, the wool merchant hotel is on top of the list of places to stay.

Worth a visit

Decor modern and appeared to have been recently done. Budget priced hotel with free parking. Pleasant staff who helped me when I locked the key in the room. Only downside was that the hair dryer was attached to the wall and there was no mirror within reach. Breakfast was very nice and the service in the breakfast room was excellent

Disgusting . The bed didn’t even have a mattress cover and was stained. The walls were filthy, no hand soap in the bathroom. I would not recommend this hotel.

The room was spacious the service excellent. The room was cold as one radiator was not working, but a portable heater was supplied. Dinner was brought to the room and was delicious. A great view of Halifax Minster as a bonus. I would highly recommend it.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel nice and handy for town centre. Good free parking. Quiet warm bedroom (twin en suite). Good value for money. Room a bit cramped - couldn't get passed stool at dressing table unless it was moved. Water pressure in shower very low. Staff at breakfast provided cups by holding rim with fingers inside the cup. Struggled for ages to access the "very fast" wifi and eventually had to give up. Managed easily at next restaurant we visited. Cooked breakfast disappointing.

Handy Value in Halifax.

I paid £30 for a last minute stay so cannot complain about anything. Parking is free, staff extremely helpful & polite. The building & decor are a little tired but bed was comfortable, sheets pristine, shower spotless. Great value & good location with five minute walk to town centre.
