Hotel stay one night. Friendly informative at reception. Stairs steep if you have heavy luggage. Room clean & comfortable, roomy en suite.Shower excellent. Had an evening meal in bar as bistro was sold out. I thought meal expensive but now looking back was consistent with other establishments.

The hotel is right in the middle of the town. The accommodation was good and there is also a large restaurant and bar. All of the rooms are upstairs and I am not aware of an elevator so that might be an issue if there is limited mobility or large suitcases. Staff were super nice and helpful.

Balcony view of the town and the Nut was very good. The parking was off the street in hotel carpark. Dinning was very good, and bookings are advisable. Would stay there again.

If staying at this hotel request a balcony room. Wonderful to sit outside with a coffee, or wine, and enjoy the serenity. Stairs are steep so not ideal if mobility issues are a concern, but manageable. Parking available next door and dining within the hotel was very good. Diane

Our night at the Stanley Hotel was a total pleasure. A word of warning though: If you have trouble with steep, narrow stairs (which we didn’t) you may want to check this place out first. Sitting on the roomy balcony sipping bubbly was most enjoyable. Highly recommended.

The property is central with easy parking. Taking our luggage up the stairs was a real hard struggle. Has I known about this, I wouldn't have booked this place by as no assistance was available. Overall the room is nice with a balcony.

Loved the overall feel of the Hotel. The stair climb & rabbit warren feel trying to get to my room (no. 9 - top floor) was a bit confusing. I was glad that I had prepared a small bag with enough clothes & toiletries for my 2 night stay, so I didn't have to lug my suitcase up the staircase. There was a bit of noise from the bar downstairs on the Thursday night, but it was the night before the Easter long weekend so was to be expected. Great central place to stay in Stanley.
