"We paid, as you can see. We turned up around an hour after booking to check in. We were completely ignored by passing staff regardless of the fact that there were four of us standing around with our bags to check in. We eventually got greeted by an abrupt member of staff. Who told us she needed to get someone else to check us in. This other member of staff came around 15 minutes later, so we bought a drink each whilst we were waiting. This other member of staff then told us they didnt realise...

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

8/10 Good
"We were in Doncaster for two days to attend a funeral, the hotel is art deco in style, the staff are very helpful and welcoming. The room was good, clean and had all amenities including an ironing board, hair dryer and both the air con and heating were working well. The bathroom was large but could have done with some areas to place your products, no shelves but we just used the window sill in the bedroom. The breakfast was amazing and cooked to order. I would stay there again."
