Acceptable for the location to the piece hall but the place needs a full revamp. Our room was tatty disgusting stains on the bedding. Carpet was wet. Tv remote didn’t work hardly any plug sockets. Breakfast was sad no tea coffee just juice. Cereals and crossaints and toast. Staff were friendly check in was very easy. Wouldn’t return unless completely redone. Parking next door was £2.50 for 24 hours which is very reasonable.

The guy that worked on the front desk was excellent at customer service. He was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the hotel itself needs a lot of TLC. The room was grim. The furniture was old. The bathroom stank of cigarettes. And the bed was so grim I didn’t take my clothes off and slept on top of my other t shirts laid out on the bed. Yes, I know it was cheap. But it was also the most depressing hotel I’ve stayed in. Gave customer service 5 stars. 1 or 2 stars for everything else.

Simply put, do not stay here at any price. It is filthy. No hot water. Bathroom sink had only a cold tap. Toothpaste all over sink, tap and glass shelf. Dirty, stained, filthy carpets. Bony mattresses. Bathroom dirty. No one to check out. Hotel not manned. So bad, I would not risk eating Breakfast. Seriously concerned about bed bugs but if I've brought them home from The Wool Merchant, I will 100% take legal action against the owners.

Affordably good quality accommodation with fabulous service. From the initial welcome to the time we departed and throughout the stay, we received the most professional, efficient, polite and friendly service from everyone of the hotel’s team we encountered, with special mention to the awesome Simon. The affordable rooms within this historic building are clean and functional; above all, they are very clean and comfortable with modern facilities like free-view television and reliable hotel Wi-Fi. The bed was comfy with crisp linen atop good duvet and pillows all of which aided a good nights sleep (some rooms might be noisy given the proximity to a reasonably busy road). The en-suite bathroom was also spotlessly clean with good water pressure to the shower and soft towels, complemented by some small bottles of shampoo and conditioner. The free breakfast was adequate and welcome, with a basic hot and cold self service buffet selection The hotel is located on the edge of the town centre of Halifax just a ten-minute walk from the railway station and even less of an amble from the bus station, and the same distance to the Peace Hall, also very close to the town's retail and leisure attractions. A good value for money friendly hotel in a good location, I can highly recommend. The hotel has new owners and management.

Do not stay here! Take your money and RUN! The property looks nothing like the photographs! It's false advertisement. The room was dirty in so many ways, the stains on the carpet and all the furniture. The bathroom was dirty, the curtains had holes in and were hanging off the rails. The bedsheets and pillowcases are disposable (I've never seen this before!) This property needs a deep clean and some serious improvements to resemble anything like the photographs.
