Top Shop Street Hotel Reviews

The Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"one reason we picked this hotel was because of the onsite parking. It was very easy for us to find a spot and check in. The staff were very friendly and kind. The room was clean. The hotel was only about a 3 min walk to the Eyre Square. We would stay here again next time we visit."

Eyre Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location Nice employees Breakfast was great Parking was as good as it gets in that area Problem: my headboard was kinda gross. I mentioned that it needs to be replaced or thoroughly cleaned"

7 Cross Street

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old building with Latin Quarter literally on the doorstep. We had some reservations about noise and room size, having checked the usual review sites. But our room (overlooking Cross Street) had secondary glazing so the complimentary earplugs were not needed. The room was compact, but absolutely fine (my husband is 6'3" and he had no complaints), and was equipped with everything needed. It was thoughtfully laid out, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and attractively decorated. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast buffet was varied and more than sufficient to fuel us up for the day. There was a dear little book on each breakfast table, with a history of the building, which was a lovely touch. A few more plug sockets would be useful, but I guess our medieval ancestors didn't have so many devices to charge :) Would not hesitate to stay again."
