What guests think
Across many reviews, The Amberley Hotel is praised for clean, recently refreshed rooms, friendly service, and tasty on-site dining, making it a convenient stopover, though some guests note small rooms, shared bathrooms in certain categories, and occasional check-in confusion.
Several mention noise from the road or bar and thin walls, while others found it quiet depending on room location. The communal kitchen with simple continental items is useful, but breakfast offerings and restaurant hours can be limited or closed on some days. Overall, expect a value-focused stopover with modern touches and a need for clarity when choosing room types.

An excellent and friendly hotel for an overnight stay. While the bedroom was very small it was warm and comfortable, while the help-yourself kitchen with hot drink and breakfast items was an excellent idea.

Parking OK. Location of reception difficult to find but once found, in the bar, ended up with a warm and guided tour to my room. Adequate sized room and after a little testing the necessary heating on a cold day, operated effectively. With a room at the front, overlooking the main SH 1, the windows could do with double glazing. The kitchen facilities worked after an explanation with most provisions for a continent breakfast in a central ‘kitchen’ then it was just ‘help yourselves’ and take to your room. Basic comment, I would stay again!

Be sure to visit the restaurant. The food is great. Check-in and check-out of the hotel is a little confusing with no on-site staff. Having posted instructions would help. The shared bathrooms and kitchenette are clean.

The room was a small basic room with no washing facilities. The bed was very comfortable, the heating was good and there was a TV. The meal we had in the dining room was very good with good friendly service. The one person communal wash room was very adequate and spacious.

The Amberly hotel was a clean , well appointed hotel. I stayed on a Public holiday. When I arrived to check in, there were no instructions via email and the place was closed, there was a note pinned to the door giving the access code for entry to the building. Then all the room keys were laid out in envelopes on the table which was visible from the glass front door, so anyone could have entered the building and taken a room key. This made me feel unsafe. There were no dining facilities, however there was free tea/coffee, toast and cereal. Hardly anything was open in the town that day so it was hard to find somewhere to eat. I could not access the TV using instructions given in the in room guidebook, I am good with tech. On the bright side, the place was super clean and tidy, decor was quite new and the bed was comfortable.

Mostly clean room. Bin hadn’t been emptied of a drink can and there was a ‘toffee pop’ biscuit under the chair. Shared bathroom which I didn’t think I was getting when I booked the room. Poor breakfast choices. Could not access the fire escape from the room as the window only opened about three inches. Frightening safety issue. The room booklet stated the restaurant was closed Monday and a Tuesday when in fact this was not true and had not been updated - I would not be surprised if people ate elsewhere as a consequence. One of the staff told me this was meant to be updated when the new owners took over last year but I thought this was a small detail which was sloppy and could lead to financial loss.

Selon le descriptif sur hôtels.com, la chambre avait une salle de bain. En fait celle-ci était partagée, dans le couloir :( La bouilloire annoncée était aussi manquante. La chambre s’appelait « standard double ». Elle était toute petite, avec juste de quoi faire le tour du lit. L’hôtel nous a proposé une chambre avec salle de bain, mais contre un supplément et en attendant un délai indéterminé pour qu’elle soit nettoyée (il était 19h!). Nous avons refusé. Côté positif, le lit était confortable, la chambre presque propre (à part une serviette sale qui avait été oubliée) et la salle de bain partagée était grande et bien équipée.

The staff were excellent and the food also excellent. Unfortunately they checked us into a much smaller room than we had booked. After querying the room with the staff we were moved into the correct room- fortunately it was still available. The restaurant closes at 8:00pm which is a shame as there was a quiz night in the bar so no option but to go to our room. Be aware they do not serve breakfast any days which came as a complete surprise to us as it was advertised and even mentioned on the menu. The Operations Manager, who had only recently been hired managed things well and I’m sure he, with the staff, will bring the place to the standard that they and us believed it to be. We will go back again without a doubt as nothing out us off and all matters were felt with well.

Parking OK. Location of reception difficult to find but once found, in the bar, ended up with a warm and guided tour to my room. Adequate sized room and after a little testing the necessary heating on a cold day, operated effectively. With a room at the front, overlooking the main SH 1, the windows could do with double glazing. The kitchen facilities worked after an explanation with most provisions for a continent breakfast in a central ‘kitchen’ then it was just ‘help yourselves’ and take to your room. Basic comment, I would stay again!

When I arrived to check in, there were no instructions via email and the place was closed, there was a note pinned to the door giving the access code for entry to the building. Then all the room keys were laid out in envelopes on the table which was visible from the glass front door, so anyone could have entered the building and taken a room key. This made me feel unsafe. There were no dining facilities, however there was free tea/coffee, toast and cereal. Hardly anything was open in the town that day so it was hard to find somewhere to eat. I could not access the TV using instructions given in the in room guidebook, I am good with tech. On the bright side, the place was super clean and tidy, decor was quite new and the bed was comfortable.

The Amberly hotel was a clean , well appointed hotel. I stayed on a Public holiday. When I arrived to check in, there were no instructions via email and the place was closed, there was a note pinned to the door giving the access code for entry to the building. Then all the room keys were laid out in envelopes on the table which was visible from the glass front door, so anyone could have entered the building and taken a room key. This made me feel unsafe. There were no dining facilities, however there was free tea/coffee, toast and cereal. Hardly anything was open in the town that day so it was hard to find somewhere to eat. I could not access the TV using instructions given in the in room guidebook, I am good with tech. On the bright side, the place was super clean and tidy, decor was quite new and the bed was comfortable.

Be sure to visit the restaurant. The food is great. Check-in and check-out of the hotel is a little confusing with no on-site staff. Having posted instructions would help. The shared bathrooms and kitchenette are clean.

The room was a small basic room with no washing facilities. The bed was very comfortable, the heating was good and there was a TV. The meal we had in the dining room was very good with good friendly service. The one person communal wash room was very adequate and spacious.
