Rooms are characterful yet comfortable, with modernized bathrooms and good beds. Breakfast is generally well liked, though a few guests found it inconsistent; parking is off site with permits and accessibility is limited. Expect a charming stay best suited to travelers who appreciate historic buildings.

Enjoyed staying in this historic place. Room was very nice. Staff is excellent. It was unseasonably warm and because it’s a historical property there is no ac so it was very warm. Excellent high quality fan in room made it bearable.

Exceptional staff, exceptional food, just all around exceptional! Location is great and walkable to Salisbury Cathedral/Magna Carter and the Salisbury Market/Old George Mall. Disclaimer: The Chapter House is from the 16th century so the floors creaked and are uneven with no lift. The reception is a small desk at the bar. Overall, still has a lovely and charming stay. Only downside is we stayed one night and would've loved to stay longer.

Considering It's a 16th century hotel, it's been very well preserved give its age. The restaurant is great , amazing steak. Very nice staff. Only one thing bothered me, because it's an old place so there's no AC, it happened I was there at the hottest day in the summer. Even they were nice to set a Dyson fan in the room, it was still too hot at night! Couldn't really sleep at all, I can't complain about the hotel itself, just bad timing I guess

Stayed for 1 night in The Chapter House, Salisbury, wished the stay was longer. This stunning 16th Century hotel and restaurant is located right in the heart of Salisbury, walking distance from the cathedral, located directly opposite the hotel, market square and numerous other city centre attractions. There is no car parking on site, however, on arrival by car, stop outside the hotel entrance and obtain a 24-hour parking voucher for a nearby car park, literally 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The £8 cost will be added to your bill. The beautiful, but very old bedrooms are exquisite, especially the executive rooms. Although 16th Century, the bedrooms have every facility you would require, including iron, ironing board, safe, electric fan. The large bed is extremely comfortable with high class sheets, pillows and pillowcases etc. We ate in the Chapter House restaurant which matched the bedrooms for quality. Booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. All four of our dining party ordered steak, which is probably one of the best steaks I have ever eaten, sentiments shared by all four of us. Good sized portions, perfectly cooked and delicious. Overall, a faultless stay in a fabulous perfectly situated, historic hotel.

Character-filled very old property. The stairs are wonky, the floor is creaky, and the night door (inset into a huge wooden door, which is closed at night) is tiny. In short, you can’t miss you staying in a 16-century house. But it is comfortable (beds, showers), the breakfast is delicious, and the staff friendly.

Our stay was amazing. The room was spacious, quaint and felt like we had gone back in time. The building was 800 years old, so the floors and stairs were uneven, but it only added to the charm. We loved it! The bathrooms were modernized and spotless. Breakfast was cooked to order along with a buffet. It was delicious. The staff was delightful. They couldn't have been any better. The location was close to the cathedral and about a 20 minute walk to the train station.

The Chapter House was amazing. You can feel the history of the place when you visit. The modern comfort and cleanliness in such an old and historic building is nothing short of brilliant. The two rooms were furnished beautifully. Dining on site was delicious and the staff were lovely. I could see Salisbury Cathedral’s spire from my window and the cathedral is just a few short minutes walk away.

Would definitely recommend hotel but give breakfast a miss next time

Property is an old period property with lots of character. The welcome on arrival by a gentleman was very friendly and he showed us to our rooms which was a lovely touch lovely warm welcome. The reason for the not selecting full stars is due to being kept awake most of the night due to noise from outside - very loud drilling and banging sounded like roadworks being completed so loud it woke me up at 3am and after numerous attempts it kept me awake all night (it takes a lot to keep me awake as I'm a really deep sleeper). Appreciate you can't stop this but if we had been made aware that road works were being completed outside our window throughout the night we would of asked for a refund and selected a different hotel as we had a meeting at 9am so was really tired all day. Breakfast was lovely lots of choice and the cooked option was lovely. The welcome in the morning was not very friendly and we appeared to be an inconvenience to the young lady who came across very differently to the happy friendly gentlemen we met in the morning sadly. Overall a lovely hotel, just a shame about the sleepless night and unwelcoming staff at breakfast.

No hot water or heating. Despite attempts to fix the problem by the hotel, we had to check-out and find alternate accommodation. We understand boiler issues happen, but when the staff were questioned about it they were insistent there was not an issue. We did subsequently receive a refund for our booking and the Owner/Director did later acknowledge that there was a problem and sorry we had to endure the consequences.

Entrance via noisy bar/restaurant but quiet in the room, which was comfortable but too hot. Excellent location just outside the cathedral close. Good breakfast selection, nicely cooked, but served on cold plates.

Great old hotel with real character. Wood paneled walls and fireplace, but still had a comfortable bed and modern bathroom. To top it off, the morning breakfast was great. Would definitely stay here again. Very close to Stonehenge.

I was literally 6 minutes away from the cathedral and the main shopping. The hotel was very quaint. Breakfast was excellent as was the staff. I wish I had had time to use the enormous tub!

It’s a lovely property in a very convenient location for the city centre and the rail station. The staff were brilliant! I am disabled and they were very helpful. Old, Grade II listed buildings can be a real accessibility challenge but they were as accommodating as possible and very kind. I hope to be able to return in the future.

The Chapter House was amazing. You can feel the history of the place when you visit. The modern comfort and cleanliness in such an old and historic building is nothing short of brilliant. The two rooms were furnished beautifully. Dining on site was delicious and the staff were lovely. I could see Salisbury Cathedral’s spire from my window and the cathedral is just a few short minutes walk away.

Great hotel in an excellent location for visiting Salisbury. In a medieval building, we had huge oak beams in our bedroom. Opposite St Anne’s gate, for a short walk to the cathedral and the rest of the city. Convenient parking very nearby. To top it all, excellent restaurant with great steaks. If you’re visiting Salisbury this is a great place to stay.

Dining
On site dining stands out, especially steaks and South African dishes; dinner is popular so booking helps. Breakfast is generally very good, though a few guests reported inconsistent quality or cold plates.

One of my new favourite hotels. An old place fixed up nice. Room was very comfortable, excellent bed, bathrooms have been modernly renovated. We asked the cab driver (a £6 cab to Salisbury station) for restaurant recommendations and he replied “you’re staying there”! Turns out they have a very popular restaurant that serves some of the best steaks I’ve had. They age their own beef, the menu was superb. Breakfast was awesome, custom made Eggs Benny and full English breakfast, along with fresh croissants, fruit,etc. Staff was genuinely friendly. Right across the street from St Anne’s gate to the Cathedral. A few blocks to the Market Square and lots of good places to eat. Highly recommended.

The rooms are old but quite charming and the amenities in the room were the same you'd expect at any hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast was fantastic. We also sat down in their restaurant for dinner and I can honestly say it was one of the best we had all around England!

We loved the bathroom: large bath and separate shower with good quality toiletries. Separate loo. Subtle lighting to see the way to the bathroom at night. The only small criticism is the Sunday breakfast ran out of items that were not replenished and staff although very polite were a little over-stretched.

It’s an 800 year old building and the floors are uneven and the stairs are whacky, but there is so much charm, it’s part of the experience. Staff was super friendly and the morning breakfast a great start to the day.

This Hotel is very old and well in need of updating. Unfortunately fir me they were doing just that while I was there and the construction noise was a pain. However the Hotel has some history and it was a unique stay. Bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were amazing. Great breakfast and pub staff were awesome. Very close to most things so very centrally located.
