We first visited the Salutation Hotel 29 years ago as a wedding venue and it was a premium location then. Getting the opportunity to stay there again now, we were excited to see it again. Unfortunately, it isn’t what it once was, although it was eerily familiar as little has been done to maintain or upgrade it over that time it seemed. However, there were redeeming features apart from the trip down memory lane. These included a very good hot breakfast, with an excellent manager (female) running the process, a reasonably well stocked bar with hotel prices although not too exorbitant. Easy check in and out, and finally a good location. Let down by overall condition of the hotel, especially what was supposed to be a superior twin room.

Staff in breakfast room were courteous and attentive. The young man,whose name I didn’t get, unfortunately, was especially hardworking.

Breakfast was good

My main reason for not scoring higher. Everything creaks. My reasons for scoring positively .... bar staff and location.

Nothing great to say other than it is in a good location. Pretty old and run down.

Everything was fine.

I found the whole stay comfortable, nothing was too much trouble for staff, as a solo elderly person it was perfect. I hope to return, thankyou.

Excellent breakfast. Thoroughly. recommended.

Clean room, friendly staff and nice breakfast

Excellent hotel and very close to centre and shops staff so helpful and friendly and excellent choice of breakfast the only downside was lift to floors especially if you are disabled but very helpful staff try to accommodate

Great breakfast, great bar food, brilliant staff

.

A hotel of character, comfortable and central. Attentive staff. I enjoyed a pleasant stay.

Have stayed a few times, brilliant place

Nice rooms, comfortable bed, staff were courteous, and overall a value for money stay. However don't expect a lie in as you can hear other all other guests getting up in the morning, because all walls and floors are very thin.

Excellent well equiped ensuite room. Very clean and very quiet. It is a historic quality hotel with a nice bar and restaurant. Situated in the city centre it has had famous guests from Bonnie Prince Charlie to the Beatles and David Bowie. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, comfortable accommodation

Everything was as you expect. It’s an old hotel but everything works and is well presented. Breakfast had a great range. Staff was always welcoming and kinds. Only ‘issue’ was the age of the shower curtain and mattress. The soft furnishings need replaced and then I would give 5 stars. Would visit again.

The staff (99%) were great and made upfor the 1% who could use customer service training.

Staff, very friendly
