New Years Break.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was tasy and well presented. There was a problem with the radiators in our room, but the hotel gave us a fan heater. There was no hook on the bathroom door. This needed to be replaced. We had a room looking out onto the main road, but it was not noisy. The room was beautiful, especially as we like oldy worldy furniture and atmosphere. The Christmas decorations were all taken down by breakfast on New Year's Day, which was a shame. Otherwise all was well. We would stay there again and reccommend The Chapter House to others.

Being so old The Chapter House must be a nightmare to maintain but the crew do it well and all those I met went out of their way to make my stay pleasant and comfortable. I was impressed as I felt they genuinely cared.

Had a lovely stay at the Chapter House. The hotel building is beautiful full of character and quirky. Our room was lovely. Very comfortable bed and nice bathroom with cathedral view. Staff were very professional and helpful. The only negative was the underwhelming breakfast but there are lots of eating places close by. Would definitely recommend hotel but give breakfast a miss next time

This hotel is convenient for visiting the city centre, cathedral and shops. My only criticism is that we were not forewarned about off site chargeable parking. This is not clear on the Hotel.com website. Staff and facilities at the hotel can't be faulted.

It’s a lovely property in a very convenient location for the city centre and the rail station. The staff were brilliant! I am disabled and they were very helpful. Old, Grade II listed buildings can be a real accessibility challenge but they were as accommodating as possible and very kind. I hope to be able to return in the future.

Unique ancient house restored as much as they can. Great staff and fantastic breakfast. Parking lot is a block and an half away for $8. We had a very comfy bed and a lovely shower. The pub serves first class grilled beef. Great experience.

Charming

The Chapter House is an older but charming hotel. The in house restaurant is very popular in the area, consequently you’ll need to make a reservation for dinner. Our room was comfortable and clean with all the expected amenities. The adjoining bathroom was very large and newly renovated.

Exceptional staff, exceptional food, just all around exceptional! Location is great and walkable to Salisbury Cathedral/Magna Carter and the Salisbury Market/Old George Mall. Disclaimer: The Chapter House is from the 16th century so the floors creaked and are uneven with no lift. The reception is a small desk at the bar. Overall, still has a lovely and charming stay. Only downside is we stayed one night and would've loved to stay longer.
