The hotel has loads of character and history and is very comfortable and pleasant including my room, but the television had very few channels (no ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 to name 2) and the reception was dreadful; the picture on every channel was pixilated and couldn't be watched. It was very disappointing.

Room 104 at the Angel & Royal Hotel

Spacious, comfortable and beautifully kept, it offered the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the room itself was quiet and relaxing despite the hotel’s central location.

Everything was spotlessly clean, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel special. The bathroom was modern and well-appointed, and the overall layout of the room made it feel airy and welcoming.

I always enjoy staying here. Historic building with character. Spacious and comfortable room. Very good service. Breakfast is a little pricey, but it is worth it: one is paying not just for the quality of the food, but also the ambience: proper table service (instead of the ubiquitious buffet) in a wonderful breakfast room. Cannot wait to return.

Front of house staff were exceptional. My booking hadn’t been printed for them but it was quickly resolved. Room was cold and staff very promptly provided a plug in radiator for us.

Overall clean and pleasant smelling. Bed was a bit soft for our liking and the bathroom blind had to be down when toileting or showering as the glass is not frosted.

TV made a weird buzzing noise all night so had to be unplugged.

Parking is convenient and secure and a bargain at £4/night.

Will definitely consider staying again.

Great Historic Inn

This is a gem of a hotel! Historical, dating back to the 13th century with a long list of famous people who stayed in the inn. Smallish - so it has small town feel - lots of locals stopping by for tea. Very friendly and experienced staff. Great food, the rooms were very comfortable and well appointed. Easy to get to and great location. I would happily stay here again!

What a lovely experience!

For medical reasons my husband and I need single beds. The original booking provided this but on the first floor. My husband has many serious health issues including heart problems. On explaining the dilemma, coupled with the fact that we live in a bungalow and don't really do stairs, I understand some calls were made which culminated in us being able to use the ground-floor accessibility room without causing anyone else a problem. It suited our needs perfectly. We didn't feel we were being a nuisance, in fact, it came over as perfectly normal for guests needs to be accommodated if possible! So refreshing in this day and age. Lovely atmosphere which was particularly nice as the reason for our visit was not a happy one and on returning to the hotel you couldn't help but feel calm. ALL staff were so friendly and helpful, including our room cleaner. My husband needs to take his time in the mornings and she said she would service two other rooms before returning to us. By then we had left for the day. So thoughtful, and not a hint of us being made to feel awkward. The building is very old and it's interesting how it's been adapted. The whole hotel was extremely clean. The food was devine!! And the picture in the Bistro gave me hours of happy research!!

Stayed here a few times when visiting family. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is amazing, really sets you up for the day. Living in the US you don't get breakfast like this.
The only thing I would like to see is the amenities in the bathroom more eco friendly. Liquid hand soap as opposed to a bar. Some hotels even have the dispensers in the showers. This would have been handy for our shower as you had to put the shower gel on the floor. Coffee, not used to making this with a kettle but its' fine. The court yard now has seating which really looks lovely. Love the interior of the hotel, a very trendy feel which mixes well with such a beautiful building. Over all we would highly recommend this hotel if visiting the area.

Perfect location for town. Lots of old charm and helpful staff. The room was very spacious but where it falls down is the lack of air conditioning or fans as the room does gets warm and some of the sash windows won't open . The 4pm check is also very late for what I'd expect these days.You can check in earlier but it's £10 per hour which is excessive ... oh and another £4.50 for carparking so there's a few more charges to consider.

The rooms definitely needed updating and cleaning. The car park at the rear is defintley a bonus.

Weekend Feb stay.

To be honest, the reception was great, the room generally clean and tidy, although the sheet on the double bed didn't fit and only just covered the top of the mattress.

We had dinner in the bistro, as we had a dog with us. He was welcome to stay with us, but we could only eat in the bar area. This was fine as on a Friday evening there was hardly anyone in the bar area. The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it.

Historic Hostelry with room for improvement.

Angel & Royal is the second oldest hotel in the UK. Unfortunately it is looking tired and in need of updating managerially. You are greeted with no check in until 4.00pm unless you pay for an early check in. Then strangely for the locale you are asked to pay for parking £4.00 in their car park.(Grantham is NOT a vibrant town centre). Breakfast at A&R is £17.99 per person extra. Not a good start for a hostelry with so much history.

We were allocated room 103. A junior suite room. A good size rooms with dated furniture, but with a modern bathroom. The windows, window nets and curtains were not fully functioning. The large bed was comfortable. However directly across from the room was the kitchen and kitchen fans. These were not turned off until circa 9.45pm.

Perhaps the mood of the Hotel reflects the mood of the town - moving into a spiral of depression!

Excellently located to wander around Grantham centre. Key code operated car park was a welcome addition and was only £4 for one nights / two day trip.
Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming but it appeared there was nobody on hand to help with baggage up the stairs, unfortunately.
The room was very clean but was tired in places and so was the bathroom - most of the woodwork could do with a spruce up but the suite was in good condition.
I would definitely stay here again should I have the need to visit Grantham.

Room was Dusty, shower head needed attention, bathroom blind bent and very dusty, basin had a very large crack - unhygienic! We had to change rooms as a problem with the plumbing. Second room, television had no signal, sink draining away slowly obviously blocked. Shower head not working properly, old chewing gum pack under window.
