Barkenholm Holidays from £484

Courteous and helpful staff. Clean, great amenities

Stay was pleasant. Room was warm and clean. Hotel was perfectly located. Front desk was helpful.

I wasn’t sure if I would like this hotel or not. In the end, I thought it was okay. I knew there was no front desk person, and I honestly didn’t know if it would matter to me. In the end I think I did miss it. I had also seen in reviews that there is street noise, which was definitely true for my room (#1, on the 9th St side). I visited during a cold snap, so no one was out when I arrived late at night on Weds, and so there was no noise. I slept like a baby! Thursday there were a few people out partying, but the noise died down around 10-11pm and I slept fine. Friday night there was a ton of honking, yelling, loud cars that earplugs were no match for, and I didn’t sleep well. I thought the mattress was really comfortable, though my bed was quite noisy from squeaky springs. The room was nice enough and generally clean, though there were signs that it was not brand new: scuffs on the wall, some unfinished trim around the door, etc. Best parts of staying here were the location, the kitchen, and the gorgeous exposed brick in my room. It’s probably worth the extra money to request a room on the non-street side of the building, so I would recommend factoring that extra cost into your budget.

Clean room, friendly staff, lots of nice little extras.

Staff was very courteous. Room temperature was perfect and blackout curtains were great. Location excellent
