Top Barkston Hotel Reviews

Urban Hotel Grantham

Urban Hotel Grantham

8/10 Good
"Saw very few staff around. Couple of times reception was deserted for prolonged periods and no one was on the bar either. Maybe just low staffing levels that weekend. Staff we did encounter were friendly. Hotel is clean but a little old fashioned with its decor and felt slightly shabby in the corridors. Room had comfortable beds and a great refurbished bathroom. Parking was plentiful & it’s in a very convenient location. Would stay again if needed to be in the area"

"The room was a little on the snug side but clean, tidy and well maintained. Plenty of tea/coffee in the room, a small fridge - everything you would expect. Breakfast excellent, the bar was a nice place to hang out and the view from our room was lovely overlooking the castle. I'd definitely stay here again."
