“Restaurant” is listed but that is a bald face lie. Sure, they serve a continentsl breakfast (for an additional charge) of cereal, make it yourself toast and yogurt, but the only thing that makes it a restaurant is the sign on the door. It’s like a Live, Laugh, Love, Lie about a restaurant. The nearest pub does not serve food, and then next 2 we stopped at stopped serving early.

The gorgeous wooden stairs are crazy loud, so if you are in a room close to them, each time someone goes up and down, you will know and most likely wake up.

The pretty sitting room in the photos was off limits anf had chains on the door.

This place is perfection in the pictures, but like an abadoned movie set in real life. I would recommend you avoid it.

The room was not especially clean. When you went into the en-suite there were cobwebs, and not even at the ceiling level but just above eye level.

The heating was on full, there's two radiators in the room, I turned them both off, but the room was still boiling because there was a very large pipe connecting the radiators and it was effectively itself a giant radiator which couldn't be switched off. Why does the building's heating need to be on full at 3pm in March anyway?

The four poster bed was squeaky as anything. Any time one of us moved in the night, the other woke up. I can't imagine how other residents would've appreciated us working through the Kama Sutra.

The staff member who checked us in seemed soulless.

We didn't have the brekkie but then we'd seen he Four In A Bed episode where almost everybody got the wrong order and half of them got egg shell in their food.

On the plus side, the extractor fan was attached to our ceiling so not all bad.

Staff were pleasant room was lovely we had the honeymoon suite. Breakfast was spot on.
Only thing that lets the hotel down is no bar so if you fancied a nightcap, you couldn’t get one. But would definitely recommend this hotel so the only downside is no Bar but can live with that.

Freezing…. The whole building looked like it had been abandoned. The duty desk manager gave us a portable heater, the room was clean with fresh bedding and towels but not vacuumed.
No carpet on the stairs where I very nearly fell down them. It looked neglected! Such a shame.

The room was very old tired and out dated with mould up the walls. Worn out furniture and very old uncomfortable mattresses, dirty carpets, rust and mould around the bath and shower, ripped net curtains with what looks like air riffle holes in the windows. The room was ice cold all night we had to stay fully clothed. The whole hotel didnt have any heating on. Other people living in the hotel and other guests was in and out the fire exit door all night slamming it shut every time the door was right outside our room also the room above was banging about all night so we had no sleep and had to go to work in the morning. Reported to reception when it opened in the morning said i would get a call from the manager but im still waiting for the call

Clean room, been partly modernised since my last visit but still somewhat dated and paintwork etc needs touching up. Smart TV in the room this time though it was very slow and while the apps worked, the main live channels didn't seem to. Not anything which really bothered me but may others. Breakfast was cooked to order and fantastic. Friendly staff throughout, speedy check in. A big improvement since my last visit, still a little way to go.

First impressions of hotel as you drive up the drive are very good.
Ample parking available.
Welcome at reception was friendly and were shown room.
Room was satisfactory but decor was a bit dated with adequate key lock. Beds were a little bit rocky and soft but still slept well.
Breakfast was of a good size however was fried not grilled, the sausages were cheap quality and no choice of egg type.

Give it a miss!

The worst hotel stay I’ve had in years, from the initial booking I got conflicting info from staff about a late check in due to being at a wedding, then I had to request the key safe code for my room and wait around for it late at night as it was never sent.

The bed was not at all comfortable! The curtains were not blackout so was woken VERY early by the sun, the bathroom didn’t have an extractor fan so the mirrored walls quickly steamed up and the condensation never disappeared so you couldn’t use them to get ready without getting a towel soaked wiping them down.

The cleanliness left a lot to be desired, dead insects and stained carpets. The walls were also paper thin.

The breakfast was pretty sub standard, bacon and sausage barely cooked.

I wouldn’t ever stay here again!

A terrible experience!

A truly terrible hotel experience!
Issues/problems in no particular order;
1) The wall of room 105 to the one next door must be paper thin!
I could hear the person in the next door room snoring loudly and constantly, apart from when they were coughing or using the bathroom. I could also hear everything from their bathroom as well! By 1.45 am I had not slept and decided to leave. Therefore I had a 2 hour drive home in the dark when I was extremely tired!
2) The room is shabby, with scuffed paintwork and tiles
3) The carpet has several unsightly stains
4) cobwebs, including on the outside of the window, which could easily be wiped away!
5) A shabby, uncomfortable, tatty bed and mattress (although the daddy long legs seemed to like it!)
6) A shower head which is very high up for a shorter person and cannot be lowered

7) Security - the staff explained about the door being locked at 9pm on Sundays and showed me how to do the entry code (they were very helpful, friendly and patient) However, when I returned at 10pm the door was unlocked. When I left at 2pm the door was still unlocked - not really very secure!!!

8) I could also hear a TV (from downstairs?) and heavy footsteps of people running around

Northop Hall Hotel had beautiful grounds and loads of parking. It was a little out of town so you would need a vehicle. The room was comfortable but if you have heavy luggage…be warned that there was no elevator!
Overall, it was a great stay for a night. The staff were lovely!

Not in Mold as website suggests in search!

The hotel did the job, but two issues, the first major one is the location does not correlate with the map on the Hotels.com site, which indicates it is in Mold town centre. So when leaving Mold after visiting, I was surprised to see a 15min journey, meaning I was 30mins from the location I was visiting on Saturday. Secondly, small shower gel and shampoos still provided, not eco friendly.

The positives: Lovely check in lady, large room, very comfortable bed, dog friendly, most areas recently refurbished, access from A55. For the price, this place is excellent.

Breakfast was good, I had a freshly cooked breakfast, toast & a yoghurt. Decor is generally fresh. Plenty of parking. Nice, spacious grounds. Large dining room.

The parts for improvement are, glasses in the room/bathroom, a hotel info pack (I had to call to check the breakfast times as forgot & nowhere to see it). A bit more cleaning of communal areas (some cobwebs in the windows in the dining room).

It was very quiet, only a few people staying. I really hope the refresh brings more people in and they could consider opening the bar/restaurant in the evenings.

All in all though, I'd definitely stay there again. Great value, lovely grounds and genuinely the best sleep I've had in a long time on the comfortable bed.

The place will no doubt be beautiful once the refurbishment is complete. Set in beautiful grounds. However in the interim it has the feel of a cross between Faulty Towers and the marie celeste. No staff on site after 9pm and everyone left to fend for themselves. A couple of guests got locked out because the outdoor entry code was not shared with them by the receptionist. Saw them banging on the door.

Horrendous

This was booked for 3 of my colleagues, on arriving to the first the bed collapsed when a bag was put on it, the room was changed only to then have the shower spray water all over the bathroom and into the main room.
Next room didnt even have a wardrobe just plastic hooks on tge wall that couldn't even hold the weight of a T-shirt.
Turn out the hotel is also being used as a bail hostel.

Disappointing visit

The main problem was the poor choice and quality of the breakfast. On the first morning, the alternative breakfast was missing the advertised yoghurts and pastries. There were no mushrooms or tomatoes with the cooked breakfast, although these items were supposedly included. There was no choice of bread, most of the tables were half set and the general quality of the food was poor. On the second morning, there were no tomatoes or mushrooms but this time, no eggs either. This left no choice of cooked breakfast at all. Generally the hotel seemed tired and run down. The chef worked hard and tried his best but nothing he did could make up for the general delapidation.

The big negatives first.

I booked a classic room, paid extra for it.
Arrived at the hotel and was taken to.... A normal room.

The receptionist didn't bother to tell us we'd been downgraded, and when the difference in price was mentioned....this was completely ignored.
She tried fobbing us off saying it's the same kind of room, despite making one as a classic room with 4 poster and the other as a standard king size room.

Id paid for the 4 poster classic room not a normal one. It turns out that no one had cleaned the classic room. Had dirty bedding and towels etc.

So had a downgrade and they chose to ignore the extra money I'd paid. Bit fraudulent really.

The room we ended up with was ok, if I'd booked that room then I would have been pleased with it.

Location is beautiful, breakfast was lovely.

But the rip off and fob off will be the main memory.

There was no food available due to refurbishment of the kitchen but a staff member Toni took me in her car to the nearest Chinese takeaway - a service above and beyond the call of duty. Very helpful friendly staff.

The hotel is not actually in the town of Mold as I thought but in Northop, a few miles outside.
