You get what you pay for. The room was clean but tired. Mattress needs replacing, shower leaked on floor not sure where from and some furniture had no handles. However it was close to town and plenty of parking. Council car park you can park for free on a Sunday or it's 50p an hour. Staff seemed friendly. Continental breakfast only

The hotel is very handy for concerts at the Piece Hall and it is pretty reasonably priced. However, it is rather tired and has some very odd features - my double room had no waste bin either in the en suite or main room, the security lock on the inside of the door didn’t work and the bathroom basin tap (one of those you press on for the water) didn’t stay on long enough even for me to wash my hands - it also only seemed to have cold water. The shower head was a bodged repair and the pressure low. The room was very hot in the sun and the windows only open about two inches. Signposting is bizarre - the sheet we were given at checkin said breakfast was on the lower ground floor but not that the lift LG button took you to a staff area. We had to explore to find the stairs instead! Breakfast was included but was pretty sparse and low quality. Bar staff seemed untrained in, for example, how to pour beet. On the up side if you’re Spanish, there’s a translation in the lift of the many things you aren’t allowed to do in it.. Reception was closed till about 9am. Staff were friendly but clearly inexperienced and only one person seemed to be around in the morning. So, perfectly okay for one night if you have the ability to be amused by the oddities but not exactly a hotel I’d choose for more than one night,

The welcome was perfect from very friendly staff and I slep well and is in a good location.The hotel looks as if its been a long time since any attention was given to the decor, our room looked very tired and the bathroom was not as clean as it could have been. The continental breakfast was meagre to say the least, cereal, toast, old fruit, and amused many other guests. Not good value for the money.

Ideal place to stay for a gig at The Piece Hall, but our room was grotty. Stains on the carpet, scribbles and writing on the furniture, a headboard that was peeling. A fan would have been nice in the room because it was so hot. No air-con. Our room card would not work despite going back down to the desk twice. The guy on reception was very friendly and welcoming though.

This hotel has had a chequered past, furniture in the room was very rough and messed up, the shower lacked a cubicle door ,,,, but it was clean, new carpets, nice bedding, the lift worked and above all unbelievably cheap...; I got a twin room en suite with breakfast for £40!

Firstly I need to say that the staff at this property were brilliant- friendly, polite and very helpful. Breakfast was basic but fine. The location for Halifax was great- just a very brief walk from the Piece Hall, with the bus station and cheap parking on the doorstep. But my room was in a poor state, with a stained carpet, pen graffiti on the wooden furniture, and electric cables pinned down with gaffer tape. The electronic door handle was loose which gave me no confidence that the room was locked or secure. I paid very little so it was fine for the price, but do not expect luxury!

Do not stay here!

The property looks nothing like the photographs! It's false advertisement.

The room was dirty in so many ways, the stains on the carpet and all the furniture. The bathroom was dirty, the curtains had holes in and were hanging off the rails. The bedsheets and pillowcases are disposable (I've never seen this before!)

This property needs a deep clean and some serious improvements to resemble anything like the photographs.

The guy that worked on the front desk was excellent at customer service. He was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the hotel itself needs a lot of TLC. The room was grim. The furniture was old. The bathroom stank of cigarettes. And the bed was so grim I didn’t take my clothes off and slept on top of my other t shirts laid out on the bed. Yes, I know it was cheap. But it was also the most depressing hotel I’ve stayed in. Gave customer service 5 stars. 1 or 2 stars for everything else.

Simply put, do not stay here at any price. It is filthy. No hot water. Bathroom sink had only a cold tap. Toothpaste all over sink, tap and glass shelf. Dirty, stained, filthy carpets. Bony mattresses. Bathroom dirty. No one to check out. Hotel not manned. So bad, I would not risk eating Breakfast.

Affordably good quality accommodation with fabulous service.

From the initial welcome to the time we departed and throughout the stay, we received the most professional, efficient, polite and friendly service from everyone of the hotel’s team we encountered, with special mention to the awesome Simon.

The affordable rooms within this historic building are clean and functional; above all, they are very clean and comfortable with modern facilities like free-view television and reliable hotel Wi-Fi.

The bed was comfy with crisp linen atop good duvet and pillows all of which aided a good nights sleep (some rooms might be noisy given the proximity to a reasonably busy road).

The en-suite bathroom was also spotlessly clean with good water pressure to the shower and soft towels, complemented by some small bottles of shampoo and conditioner.

The free breakfast was adequate and welcome, with a basic hot and cold self service buffet selection

The hotel is located on the edge of the town centre of Halifax just a ten-minute walk from the railway station and even less of an amble from the bus station, and the same distance to the Peace Hall, also very close to the town's retail and leisure attractions.

A good value for money friendly hotel in a good location, I can highly recommend.

The hotel has new owners and management.

Hotel nice and handy for town centre. Good free parking. Quiet warm bedroom (twin en suite). Good value for money.
Room a bit cramped - couldn't get passed stool at dressing table unless it was moved. Water pressure in shower very low. Staff at breakfast provided cups by holding rim with fingers inside the cup. Struggled for ages to access the \"very fast\" wifi and eventually had to give up. Managed easily at next restaurant we visited. Cooked breakfast disappointing.

Handy Value in Halifax.

I paid £30 for a last minute stay so cannot complain about anything. Parking is free, staff extremely helpful & polite. The building & decor are a little tired but bed was comfortable, sheets pristine, shower spotless. Great value & good location with five minute walk to town centre.

Pulling the wool over your eyes!

The hotel was rated as great and to be fair the receptionist was lovely and really helpful however, we skipped breakfast the second morning(after paying in advance) as it was greasy and supplied in a takeaway carton to be eaten in our room. There were no chairs or tables so the first morning we had to eat on the bed. The room was not cleaned and so the smell of breakfast lingered throughout the day and night even with the window open YUK! The bedside had no power sockets so the table lamp was useless and the shower had mould all around the sealant. The wall behind the bed had the old headboard stain engrained into the wall and the bed was a standard size double bed which is just too small for for a couple these days. Finally £17 for a large G&T and Barcadi & coke and no ice available. Not at all impressed.

Do not stay and demand a refund!

The hotel room was filthy, flea bites and bathroom had lots of build up of dirt. Query their Covid prep too. I will be approaching Hotel.com for a refund due to the inaccuracies. Good for parking and good for breakfast which was well organised.

Tidy rooms, Clean comfortable beds. Courteous staff. We have stayed there about 12 times, which tells its own story, we will be staying there again in the not too distant future.

Ok...

The room was pokey and furniture dated. The walls are thin and I could hear the man in the room next door having a bath. However the staff were pleasant and there is free parking. It's close to town, Piece Hall etc.
I'm in no rush to go back but it was cheap and cheerful and served a purpose.

Nice welcome with a big smile from Debbie; very kindly allowed me to drop off a bag on way to a funeral of a comrade. Room spotless and comfortable, breakfast excellent, poached eggs done to perfection. Good stay and I recommend this hotel, only issue was my single room was on the 5th floor which was a hike around a maze type setup. Otherwise, really good and Halifax is stunning.

Dissapointing

Rooms not cleaned to a high standard in room 402 no TV all weekend no management to complain too not good and hospitally wise very poor at weekend apparently only way to complain is via email Monday to Friday. There was 8 of us staying at this hotel also jacuzzi not working in room 306 and radiators very hot n no way of turning off in our friend's couple room. So not great stay altho the breakfast was OK.

Pleasant friendly staff, breakfast OK, for what we paid we can't complain and would stay there again for same price. room was large and basic, ready for an update, a picture or 2 might make the room feel nicer, coat hooks would be handy especially if it's been raining because theres nowhere to hang other than small wardrobe, mattress wasn't too comfy but OK. Small kettle n hairdryer in room. Free car park. Only short walk to peace Hall, town centre, vue complex. 5 min drive from Dean Clough Mill.

Spacious clean family room but uncomfy beds a cold

Only stayed one night for a concert in centre of Halifax. So hotel was perfectly located. Room was big and clean with plenty of towels but was freezing cold. We arrived to all 3 windows open and it was 3 degrees outside. T turned out later that there is a horrid sewer smell from bathroom.When we asked for a fan heater and extra duvets we were told sorry but no. The bathroom was huge but no heating at all. So we waited till we got home to shower.The really odd thing was the communal areas like corridors and reception were boiling hot. But our radiators never really came on. The three single beds were paramount to Torture devises from the middle ages. Thin mattress with many springs so noisy crunchy and painful. No duvets at all....its almost December??just sheets. So for us it isnt a place we would stay again. But worked out good for one night as price was very cheap. 34 quid cheaper on hotels .com than on booking.com . So thumbs up to Hotels.com!

Very economical and enjoyable stay.

I arrived at hotel later than the final check in time. Katrina was exceptionally helpful in arranging for me to collect my key when put in a safe place. Everything went to plan. Room very comfortable and good tea and coffee facilities in room. Did not get chance to eat at hotel as had to leave however reception staff very friendly when I checked out. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return in the future.

Disappointed

Lovely hotel. Went to a show at the theatre. Rain was a pain so thought we'd have a drink at the hotel. 10.45 bar closed. Bit of sightseeing day after. Returning at 5.00 thought we'd use the hotel bar. No draught beer, minute selection of bottled so had to brave the rain in the evening again. Breakfasts on both mornings were well over cooked so made do with cereal and toast and jam. Seriously under staffed. A shame as rooms are lovely and staff doing their best.

Good location , 2mins to piece hall, central library, calderdale industrail museum and literally opp Halifax Minster. Breakfast is served down stairs on lower ground floor. Hotel ought to put a sign up in reception telling their guests this along with breakfast serving times. Overall welcoming staff , a pleasant stay .

Unlucky or What?

Our stay was marred by doors fire doors banging in corridor outside our room. (4) so our sleep was very disturbed.
Mega disappointed TV not working in reception for us to watch World Cup Rugby Final. TV in our to om had some issues with interference contorting picture.
Bar closed around 22.30 meaning we couldn’t get drink for a nightcap around 23.15hrs
Receptionist - new employee- was fantastic. She tried so hard to please. Wool Merchant have got a real hard working little gem. Well done and sincere apologies we didn’t get your name.

Good location, services could be better

The Wool Merchant is in a good location for peace and quiet and proximity to the Piece Hall and town centre. They offer free parking which was a nice benefit. I think the services could be a bit better. I booked a room with a king bed and was given a twin. The fire alarm went off several times over the 2 days, which was not only annoying, but a member of staff entered our room to check if we had caused it and was more suspicious than apologetic for the nuisance. This made us feel as though we couldn't relax. The owners should check their listing on this website as it claims they offer free breakfast but they actually apply a surcharge.

Not a bad stay but a fire alarm at 3am put a damper on things. Think people were smoking in their room and set it off! Had to evacuate for 30 minutes or so.Bathroom could of been a bit cleaner though not terrible. Some of the light switches were actually behind the headboard, difficult to reach without getting back out of bed. Very unusual. Plenty of free breakfast but have had better, quite bland food but as much as you want. Good car parking right next to the hotel. You get what you pay for.

Lack of parking

Bad things are layout no map by the elevator to show where rooms are so we ended up walking into another room , parking space is an issue our second night there was no space for us to park because the spaces arent marked out and others left a big gap between cars they need to mark the spaces ,room was ok for the price we paid would probably stay here again but the parking situation has put us off abit
