Alright for a quick night.

Staff were helpful when arounda although local knowledge and assistance was lacking. Reception desk no always manned so had to call and wait for staff. Its an interesting building but it is showing its age in the rooms. Fold out bed mattress for child was in really poor condition. Metal bars/slats were not covered. Kitchen not running over a weekend was surprising.

An unloved room, in a wing of an unloved hotel

The room was adequate and the location of this hotel is good for getting into the city centre. There are also many restaurants within a relatively short distance. The room was in a wing at back of hotel. It felt quite separate. There was no room service during the 3 night stay. Some areas of room (e.g. TV screen) had old stains that had been there for some time.

My 2nd stay

This was my 2nd stay at Plough & Harrow. I love the quaint hotel, roughly midway between the university and the city center. The building is showing its age, but it is perfectly fine. The best part of the hotel is the staff. They were supremely helpful, particularly Yana. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast. It offered enough variety that I didn't repeat my meal over the several days I was there.

Better than expected

The hotel was a lot better than I expected. Great value and a wonderful old, historical building. I really liked the interior, there must be so much history there. Check in staff member was friendly, but forgot to tell us anything about breakfast, we had to go back and ask later. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t in the main hotel building, but an unattractive block out the back. Still, the room was quiet and spacious with loads of storage. Very clean although could do with some updating. Great nights sleep. The only downside was the toilet seat which was ill fitting and slipped around all over the place. Plus the fact we could hear our neighbours through the bathroon vent, like they were in the same room! Excellent breakfast, everything you could want and good quality ingredients. Overall, surprisingly good stay. Close to some local restaurants. I can recommend Soofi, a Persian restaurant which was wonderful, 5 mins walk away.
