What guests think
At Sarum College, guests consistently praise the unbeatable location inside Salisbury’s Cathedral Close with remarkable views and convenient free parking, while noting friendly, helpful staff and widely enjoyed breakfasts, alongside straightforward, no-frills rooms that can feel dated.
Rooms are generally simple and small, with some featuring shared bathrooms, thin walls, uneven floors, and limited in-room amenities such as no TV or hairdryer; several mention dated decor and occasional maintenance niggles. Cleanliness is usually good, though a few guests reported dust, mould, missing toiletries, or low water pressure. Expect a budget-friendly, peaceful base focused on location and value rather than full-service hotel comforts.

This was my second stay. I had a single study room that reminded me of my student days. The Close in Salisbury is a really besutiful setti g with ond of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. It is worth noting that the Close is locked at 11pm so you may have to curtail evening activities. Not a problem for me though

The rooms have limited control of heating at times, plug sockets are limited, and there are no TVs. WiFi is adequate in most locations, and there are tea/coffee facilities. Access is provided with your own key, but after 11pm access has to be prearranged.

The room was an attic room which had uneven floors and angled ceiling. The paint work was tired and had a few stains on it. There was no blind in the bathroom and the curtains were fraying. Apparently they were renovating the attics rooms so mine had not yet been done. However it did not put me off and I would recommend it and stay there again.

However the basic room really is extremely basic, very shabby and old fashioned. You hear people in neighbouring rooms coughing & talking. Another venue for same price might be preferable.

Very good 1 night's stay in Salisbury on a Saturday night in March. It was the second time i had stayed at Sarum College, but the first time as a couple and in the large double en suite rooms. Very pleased with the size of the room, quality of the en suite bathroom and the cathedral view - towering over the inner courtyard. Very good cuoice at breakfast, good quality sausages in the cooked breakfast options and nice croissants. Would come again.

Room 313 had a view of a flat roof and the constant noise from an extractor fan. Whilst the noise stopped at 6pm it spoilt our stay. We were told that an alternative room would be prepared and then told that we had to stay put! Tranquility and peace & quiet were sadly missing from our overnight stay. The breakfast was good but served on cold plates 🙁

The staff were incredibly helpful arranging alternate transport for me. The train strike made it impossible to travel via rail and so one of the ladies at the front desk looked up an alternate bus route to get me to my next destination. It took a lot of stress off me so that I could enjoy my time in Salisbury. It was also well cleaned and maintained and a very good location.

I’ve been staying at Sarum College for many years for a variety of reasons for events within Salisbury. The staff are always friendly & check-in and -out always painless. The ‘Basic’ single rooms are comfy with a sink, single bed, a big cupboard, table/chair and a comfy chair. The bath/shower room & toilet are always very nearby. The included buffet breakfast is fantastic. Whatever you fancy from a cooked breakfast, continental or just fruit or yoghurt. If there’s a big group of people staying and there’s an evening meal planned you can pay for the meal too. Always cooked from scatch and always tasty.

Very good 1 night's stay in Salisbury on a Saturday night in March. It was the second time i had stayed at Sarum College, but the first time as a couple and in the large double en suite rooms. Very pleased with the size of the room, quality of the en suite bathroom and the cathedral view - towering over the inner courtyard. Very good cuoice at breakfast, good quality sausages in the cooked breakfast options and nice croissants. Would come again.

I’ve been staying at Sarum College for many years for a variety of reasons for events within Salisbury. The staff are always friendly & check-in and -out always painless. The ‘Basic’ single rooms are comfy with a sink, single bed, a big cupboard, table/chair and a comfy chair. The bath/shower room & toilet are always very nearby. The included buffet breakfast is fantastic. Whatever you fancy from a cooked breakfast, continental or just fruit or yoghurt. If there’s a big group of people staying and there’s an evening meal planned you can pay for the meal too. Always cooked from scatch and always tasty.

Staff were great. Room pretty basic but comfortable and bathroom good. We wanted extra blanket, which we found on top of the wardrobe, was covered in dust / dirt. Extensive breakfast. Chef appeared put out when I asked what was gluten free. Free parking which was a bonus.

Room 313 had a view of a flat roof and the constant noise from an extractor fan. Whilst the noise stopped at 6pm it spoilt our stay. We were told that an alternative room would be prepared and then told that we had to stay put! Tranquility and peace & quiet were sadly missing from our overnight stay. The breakfast was good but served on cold plates 🙁

Lovely building with great views of the cathedral. Rooms clean and spacious. Booked 2 twin rooms for 4 pensioners. Only criticism was one room had bath with a shower head but no shower curtain or wall fixing to secure the shower head to have a shower. Wasn’t expected and was rather inconvenient for elderly occupants. That said we had a lovely stay
