Did the job!

Good hotel, did what we needed it to as a base for our weekend in Lichfield. Dog friendly and flexible, plus they were very happy to meet our dog and provided a dog bed, bowl and treats - which was sweet. The hotel is a bit tired - but we needed somewhere in Lichfield with parking and this did that. Worth noting that parking is £5 per night, which I didn't know.

Cathedral Hotel Litchfield

I was told at check in that the heating was broken. Electric oil heaters were in the rooms. The heater was not adequate for the size of the room. No evening meals served this should be more evident on Hotels.com. The building and furniture is old and dated. Large scale refurbishment inside and out required. Mould in the bathroom

A lovely hotel, close to the centre of Lichfield.

We had a lovely stay at the Cathedral Hotel. We were travelling with friends and were in Lichfield to visit a restaurant. The hotel is very well placed for a dhott walk into town. The hotel staff were all lovely; very friendly and really couldn't do enough for us. The room was large, clean and comfortable with a good shower. Whilst we were there, the heating was broken, so we were provided with an electric radiator. This made our room perfectly warm and in fact, none of the hotel felt especially cold. In the evening we went to the bar; it also was lovely and warm considering. There was a good selection of drinks and the beer was good. My only criticism was that, as the hotel dont do food in the evening, it would be good to keep a few snacks in, such as crisps. The breakfast was excellent, really plentiful and hot. All in all, we had a great stay and would stay again.

Good choice

Really friendly staff, comfortable rooms, excellent location. The only issue is that the hotel is more or less full and there are not enough spaces in the car park. We got a space but arrived 30 minutes after check in opened. Others were not so lucky.

Comfortable room. Double bed was quite small. Friendly service. Shower was rubbish. Only had about 3 streams of water and sprayed in all directions (needs a new shower head), took a while to warm up too. Basic room but get what paid for

Okay Stay

This was an okay stay. The boiler was broken on the day of my visit so there was no heating and I know from experience the oil filled radiators do nothing! Apart form that its a lovely place, good breakfast. Looked a little dated overall.

Very friendly staff. Rooms were small but comfortable and very clean. Good breakfast. No evening meal but plenty of good options (including discounted meal at sister hotel) close by with a short, walk into town past the the cathedral and river. Was noisy when we visited because of a wedding in the function room but the area seems quiet overall so I imagine it would be peaceful during the week or when there was no weekend function taking place. Good value. Would stay again.
