    Couldn't find any staff in the morning. Needs completely redecorating.

    This hotel has seen better days. It is very tired and has no facilities. The lady who checked me in was very helpful, even allowing me to park in their private garage. Other than that there is no parking. The room was not large but was adequate. Bed a bit lumpy.

    Historic hotel in the heart of Gainsborough

    • Triple Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Stayed at The Gainsborough Hotel on our latest trip to see the Trent Bore (which was a bit of a let down this time ! ) and the hotel's location is very convenient for that and for the centre of Gainsborough.. We like historic buildings and this hotel is Grade 2 listed, the owners appear to have recently taken it over and are slowly renovating it. First impressions could be better and were rather misleading because our en-suite room was fine : clean and warm with a recently refurbished bathroom. The breakfast was freshly prepared, no luke luke warm buffet fare here. The parking was under cover, secure and free. We would stay there again.

    A low cost budget product that delivered a businessman what he needed: clean sheets + breakfast!

    It was a budget purchase so I expected little more than I got

    I thought the hotel did exactly what it said on the tin. It was a budget purchase and it delivered a budget product: no complaints at this end. I got what I expected and, in truth, £40 with breakfast and a smiling host was bang on!

    There were a few things not working, lack of breakfast choice. But this wasn't a problem to me..

    It was very warm on arrival that I turned the heater off. But over night its cold and the covers are thin. Luckily I packed my down sleeping bag in prep in case our van broke down! Coffee machine was broken so my partner was a bit grumpy about that and he doesn't do coffee flavoured drinks. To be honest, if we didn't stay in this hotel, then we would be sleeping in a sports hall with 100 friends snoring by indoor camping. So I'm not all that fussed apart from travel inconvenience to get to the hotel in the first place after a late night. Don't rely on Taxi's! Only just got an Uber!

    The one staff member we saw was lovely. She was very kind but her English is limited so be aware of this. We only needed a practical place to stay as we were working. We stayed grubby and did not try the shower but the toilet and taps in the sink worked fine! We came back one late night crashing around with carry a lot of gear and then we struggled to open our room doors and accidentally woke her up at 3am! She kindly got up in her pjs and helped us with the door that we foolishly forgotten how to use! Apologies on our part.

    Car park was full when we arrived so defeated the purpose of booking this particular hotel. No duvet or pillow cases on bedding just sheets. Dirty marks on walls and toilet brush just sat on side behind toilet and not in correct toilet brush bowl.

    Easy to find.

    The photos on Booking.com were not representative of the hotel. There was no indication prior to arrival that the hotel was undergoing renervation and as such we were disappointed to find the accommodation was shabby and uninviting. The bedroom needed a coat of paint and the entrance way was gloomy and untidy.

    The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The central location was excellent.

    It can be noisy with it being in the middle of town. There wasn't any soap provided, and the staff can get on at you to check out before the deadline.

    Good value for money. Affordable and easy to find. The Mira shower was very good, and the TV worked well.

    Hotel was not clean. rooms were dirty as was the hotel in general. Really strict on the 10:30 departure, knocking on our room door for us to depart smack on the 10:30 time.

    The hotel is in a good location in the centre of Gainsborough.
