3 couples stayed after a day at the Races, we booked it for my brothers Birthday, and what a treat it was to stay at this very glamorous Hotel, Art Deco at it’s very best is here👍Starting a reception, a speedy check in, and up to our Rooms with a lovely view, they were spacious, spotlessly clean and included everything you needed. The Bar tender were polite and friendly and know their job well.
Breakfast was a lavish feast, made even better by the bubbly Barbara, who tended us well with a smile and friendly banter. She was a breath of fresh air!
Thank you for our super stay at your fabulous hotel. Alan &Jan, Dave & Mo and the Birthday BoyJohn & Di .
We thank you all so much for making Johns birthday so memorable 👍 Alan

The staff at the Earl of Doncaster went above & beyond to make our event the best possible experience, the staff were happy & smiling all the time, nothing was too much trouble, Sarah especially kept on top of everything, making sure we were happy with everything and helped us make the best night possible for us & our guests, she is a credit to your company, 5☆ treament all the way...the room was outstanding, it was very clean, beautifully presented, the kingsize bed was so comfortable and spacious, the breakfast was gorgeous, generous and very tasty, we were treated like royalty, Diane on reception was a delight, i cant praise your staff enough, even the young lady serving our hot buffet food in very warm weather had a big smile for everyone, Mike was also on the ball, very helpfull, funny and accommodating, the 1 thing that we didnt like was, later in the evening as it was so warm, we sat outside finishing our drinks, The doors were closed without our knowledge, my new husband & I decided to go up to bed and on entering the front of the hotel he walked straight into the glass door not realising it had been closed, with no warning sticker to be seen it just looked like a clear entrance way. But overall an excellent plac to stay.

This was an enjoyable stay in a beautiful hotel.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was excellent, lovely and clean with a very large room.
If I had any criticism, it would be a very minor one, where the towel holder and toilet roll holder was loose. But that’s taking nothing away from a lovely place to stay.

I stupidly asked Gemini \" I want to surprise my daughter with a weekend away, the destination doesn't matter the highlight of the trip is the hotel\" and The Earl of Doncaster came up, as one of the options on the train route selected

The staff were lovely from the off, both front of house and bar staff, but it wasn't the experience I wanted.

We stayed in room 215, in the right corner of the room had major water damage, wall paper and ceiling were brown.

The bathroom was nice enough, wet room and everything looked clean.
The ceiling maybe made of papier mache as you can hear every footstep from the rooms above

Finally, the actual stay, 215 is above the function room, I had a 7 year old in tears as she couldnt get to sleep.as the noise was ridiculous, the volume was reduced around 11:45 but it could still be heard.

I mentioned it on the way out when I was asked how my stay was, the reponse to my honest feedback \"we cant control noisy guests\"

Anyway, I'd say fine as a base for the races if you're planning to make noise yourself, otherwise avoid.

The hotel is stunning, the decor is superb. Parking is round the back, same side of hotel drive up to memorial and turn left to head round the back.
Staff were lovely although room service was poor and the ohone wasn't answered when we called down. We ate in the restaurant and the phone rang several times and wasn't answer again. Diane on reception did say to call reception if we had the problem again. The hunters chicken panini had quite a sour bbq sauce, the club sandwich was spot on. You do get a mountain of food too, especially the fries. You can also order in from local takeaways but you have to eat it in your room. The beside lights kept blowing and going off but after a while worked again. The water pressure was great and the bath took very little time to fill, it was piping hot too. The shower was perfect and the mirror had a demist part where the sink is which was perfect.

Overall a great hotel, great staff and great amenities, would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend.

There's also a table and chairs in the room and 3 huge windows. You may have to retune the tv, do that when you arrive to save faffing later.

We have stayed here many times and generally it’s been very good, however on this occasion things were not on song, our first night the room was very noisy as a function was taking place and loud disco music until 1am, please avoid room 106. I did voice my complaint and reception staff moved us to a different room much better nights sleep second night.
Reference to room 106, bed not comfortable and very low, bathroom was cold towel rail not heating up and loo seat falls down as won’t stay up. The shower was difficult to turn off. However vast improvement on being moved to room 213.
We eat dinner both nights, then menu not as good as previous stays. Would look to eat elsewhere.

Basic room in a good location

The entrance of the hotel and its 1920s glamour ends at the entrance. The room was tired, sockets and lamps didnt work, tiles were chipped in the bathroom. The feathers on the lamp were hanging off. The carpet was in need of some tlc and the bathroom towel heater didnt work either.
The staff were friendly but for me the money is spent in the wrong places here, printed napkins and fancy biscuits and Jams, and white company products and forgotten the basics of a beautiful room and good food.
The best bit about the hotel was its location to the Doncaster centre and race track.

Room could do with a refurb but everything you could need was there. The best part of the stay though was the restaurant food. We were assured it was all freshly cooked and it was excellent.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bar person was polite and waiting staff helpful food was good. The room was a little tired ring marks on a bedside table, some scratches on rest of furniture and chairs were uncomfortable. We had a superior family room extra pillows would have been useful and glasses that had milk left in them were not washed by the maid and had to be got rid of by guests no clean glasses were provided this was not appreciated. A bar in the shower would be useful as one of the guest found it very difficult and had a fear of slipping. The location of the hotel was excellent . We would plan a revisit the points raised could be easily rectified .
