Reasonable overall - food excellent.
Stayed as a couple for family function. We know Melrose very well and have stayed at the G&A before. Above all it is good value and has a certain charm The food is its greatest feature and always pleasantly surprises us with its quality and value for money. Dinner and breakfast are very hard to beat. However, if you want top comfort you’ll need to pay more and stay elsewhere. There is still a certain charm but it badly needs renovation.

The bar staff were friendly is the only positive!
Where to start? There’s no lift so we had to carry a pushchair up 3 flights of stairs every time we got back from anywhere The room was ok but not particularly clean and the bed was far too soft to get comfortable in Stayed for 2 nights and room wasn’t turned down after night 1, which isn’t too big an issue, but you’d think they would top up your coffees and bring clean mugs?!? Only 2 caffeinated coffee sachets in the room and about 10 decafs! Breakfast was a shambles! Too many tables crammed into a tiny room so everyone was on top of each other. Not enough bread and coffee put out so they ran out every 5 minutes and had to go for more. No vegetarian options on the very limited menu so asked if they could just do a fried egg on toast each for the wife and I. Half an hour later asked where our food was and was told the large table have all ordered full breakfasts so they’re cooking those first?!? I wasn’t expecting anything exceptional when I booked this place but some level of hospitality experience / ability is the least you expect when booking a hotel. Definitely won’t be staying here again!

It’s a maze to get to your room, we opened the door to a stale smell and a room full of spiders and cobwebs. The staff were friendly and cleaned it out after but it wasn’t very pleasant. very basic room. Also they don’t offer multiple items on their drink menu which can be quite confusing. Parking was nice though.

Stay was excellent. It was clean,friendly and good value. Food was excellent. Just a word of warning. If someone in your party has mobility problems then you would need to contact the hotel in good time to arrange a suitable room. There is no lift and a lot of stairs.

Staff were really friendly and helpful, and I saw them go out of their way to look after elderly and disabled customers. The bed was also comfortable, there was a good cooked breakfast and the location is excellent, so I'm willing to forgive its other faults and would stay there again. There are quite a lot of other faults though that do bring it down. Firstly, the decor. Very, very dated and badly in need of upgrading. The bathroom was like something in an old person's house, probably been there since the 1980s at least, if not longer, and the bath was kind of grubby looking, but I suspect it would not be possible to get it clean now. There was a dirty cushion on the bed, which looked liked it hadn't been washed for years, and the water glass on the tea tray was sitting in a puddle of water, as if someone had just rinsed it under the tap and not bothered to dry it. Breakfast was quite chaotic. They only serve breakfast for one house (I think it was 8.00am-9.00am), so everyone in the entire hotel has to come down for breakfast at the same time, but they can't actually cope with that. When I came down there were no tables available (I had to share a table with someone I didn't know), there was no milk and no bowls for cereal. It took ages for things to be topped up, tables cleared and orders taken because there was one poor girl running round trying to do everything for all the guests in the hotel at once. Also be aware, there are lots of stairs and no lift.

The location of this old hotel is right in the centre of town, and very walkable to everything. It’s shame however, that the owners seem to care little about its condition. The curtains don’t fit and are shoddily mounted, the other furnishings need an update, and the room needs a deep cleaning. But the newer shower was great.
