Lovely greeting from the host when we arrived. Very central in Stamford with parking. Good shower although bathroom very small ( room 8) Comfy beds with crisp clean bedding. Would stay there again when visiting Stamford.

The manager went out of his way to make our visit enjoyable. We had seen there was a film in town we wanted to see and he magicked up a tasty pasta dish early for us. And good advice and a map for a walk about this lovely town for the morning.

Basic 2 mins from train station No bar No restaurant

A previous (less than flattering) review in October 2024, with photographs, show that NOTHING has been done to renovate the decor of the room that I also stayed in. It appears that in 2023 it was the same! Sadly, I sense some unacceptable flannel from the host? I could say a lot more, but I’ll simply say, that if you are planning on staying at Candlesticks, consider before paying in advance and look at your room/inside the premises before you commit. Shame, the experience was disappointing for a number of reasons.

I arrived earlier than the check-in time, but I was warmly welcomed with a smile, which I truly appreciated. They kindly shared information about local shops and sightseeing spots, which helped ease my worries about being in a new town for the first time. The building is old, but the room was clean and I had a comfortable stay. (Adjusting the bath water temperature was a bit of a challenge.) Overall, I’m very satisfied with my stay.

Very friendly family owned hotel very convenient for rail station and town centre.

Great host

Lovely but basic room in beautiful Stamford. The price was great and we loved the flexibility of the breakfast being in the room. It was a shame that

Simples e tranquilo, muito bem localizado. Super limpo. Com vistas bacanas da cidade. Próximo ao centro histórico e gastonômico de Stamford.

loved the look and location of this spot. kinda weird in a great way.

Candlesticks is not an ambiguous, international hotel, but is cosy and friendly. Room was well equipped with a cafetiere and a fridge.

Very welcoming owner. Had meal in restaurant and it was superb. Comfortable bed. Shower was weak. But overall a good experience

The owner was very welcoming and appeared from somewhere to check me in fairly promptly. He did everything to help me; even my strange request to borrow a tin opener. Breakfast was left in the room, I liked this self service. The room was clean with supreme white bed linen and the bathroom nice; a tad dated but for the price I can’t complain. Unfortunately, the single bed felt lopsided, so I didn’t sleep well. Probably due to the old walls of the house, so not the owners fault. It was a hot night but fortunately there was a fan in the wardrobe. All essentials are in place. Location is superb. Such a beautiful, old town and picturesque walk; Like stepping back in time. I really enjoyed my stay. It felt safe and relaxing!

Very close to train station, to the city centre, very helpful staff.

Good value for the area.

Very friendly owner

I went for the no-frills option which, as a solo traveller, was ideal. Host was friendly and very helpful. Good guidance on navigating the town. Great location. Food nice although a long wait, Maybe have an option to choose from the menu in advance so as to give kitchen warning. Would recommend.

Walking distance to center of Stamford, great atmosphere. We have stayed twice now and we will be back!
