The Salisbury was fine for my short stay. The location suited me perfectly (primary reason for choosing it). It’s a lovely old pair of Georgian buildings and the communal areas seemed bright and well maintained. On arrival at just after 6pm, knowing reception would be closing, I collected the necessaries for self check-in as expected but my key card didn’t work. Luckily the reception staff were still there and prepared a new one. The room was a on the smaller side but just big enough and pleasant, although a little tired (Apparently the hotel is undergoing refurbishment so I guess my room has yet to be tackled). It had the basics that I needed. The shower room was small but functional, the hot water/pressure a little temperamental. There was nowhere to hang a towel. The toiletries were in holders which were broken so quite difficult to use. The window didn’t open, although it did rattle in the wind at night. The blind was also broken although possible to roll it up and down by hand and rest it on top of the bottom sash of the window, and the TV was incredibly high up near the lofty ceiling! Also, as I hadn’t opted for breakfast, the nearby cafe alternative mentioned in the hotels info wasn’t open (obviously not the hotel’s fault but mildly frustrating). In all a decent enough stay but hopefully next time a refurbished room and bathroom would be good.
