Enjoyable stay but breakfast could be better.

We enjoyed our stay at The Kings Arms Lancaster; overall, it was an average experience. The accommodation met our expectations and provided a comfortable visit. However, the breakfast did not meet the same standard, and I would recommend that management consider improvements in this area to enhance the overall guest experience.

Second time I have stayed in this hotel situated very centrally in the town. I hope it prospers and can reclaim some of the area on the ground floor which is now vacant but looks as if it once was part of the hotel

The hotel has lots of history and is in the perfect location for everything in the city centre. Our room was small, hot and noisy with the window open (front of the hotel above the main entrance). Ask for rooms at the back of the hotel for a quieter night.

We liked the short distance from the railway station & shops. We didnt like how the door was difficult to lock. We also think arrangements for brealkfast should be stated @ the beginning of your stay as on our first morning we ended up with a cold brealfast from the buffet which we later foubd out had been set out since 5.30a.m. in the morning!!. We also later found out that you had to order your breakfast when you needed it.On a brighter note the staff were brilliant & couldnt have been more helpful & pleasant. There was a very noisy rock group on @ the pub across the way so we were grateful that they stopoed playing @ 10.30p.m. All in all not a bad place to stay.

Decent hotel for the price but needs work

Good location. Rooms in need of some upgrade, but ok for the price. Breakfast was mental! Not booked but they found us a table. Service was so slow it took 1 hour to bring the food. Lady on the next table walked out and one of our guests had wolf down the food and run for his train. It can’t be that hard can it? Otherwise the hotel was fine. WiFi good. Some parking nearby but had to pay. Close to station.
