"Ideal location with marvellous views of the cathedral. Parking easy. The hotel itself tired and reminiscent of previous faded 1980s glories. Needs refurbishment. The staff though truly excellent and that was a redeeming feature"

"Good hotel, easy to get to. Not used any of the amenities, so cannot comment."

"I stupidly asked Gemini " I want to surprise my daughter with a weekend away, the destination doesn't matter the highlight of the trip is the hotel" and The Earl of Doncaster came up, as one of the options on the train route selected The staff were lovely from the off, both front of house and bar staff, but it wasn't the experience I wanted. We stayed in room 215, in the right corner of the room had major water damage, wall paper and ceiling were brown. The bathroom was nice enough, wet room and everything looked clean. The ceiling maybe made of papier mache as you can hear every footstep from the rooms above Finally, the actual stay, 215 is above the function room, I had a 7 year old in tears as she couldnt get to sleep.as the noise was ridiculous, the volume was reduced around 11:45 but it could still be heard. I mentioned it on the way out when I was asked how my stay was, the reponse to my honest feedback "we cant control noisy guests" Anyway, I'd say fine as a base for the races if you're planning to make noise yourself, otherwise avoid."

"Room was very nice. Internet was spasmodic. Breakfast was terrible it was cold and waited 40 minutes for tea and toast. Very noisy from street outside."

"Friendly welcoming reception staff, room nicely decorated for our wedding anniversary. Evening meal and breakfast very nice."

"Nice large room with fast WiFi . Effective if odd heating system . Found it quite hard to get right as basically it’s a fan heater system ! "

"The breakfast buffet was always gull and fresh, very clean amenities, not alot of parking spaces struggled the second night to get a space. Many cars where parking in a none space."

"Good around and the breakfast was full"

"The room was excellent, good size and with the hot tub it made for a very relaxing weekend. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only downside of the stay was the lack of a bed and breakfast option. However this should not detract from the stay as the food at Damon’s restaurant was excellent and good value for money."
