We booked this just for one night to meet with relatives in the area. For somewhere to sleep for a night it was by far the cheapest option. I was a bit nervous after reading all the terrible reviews, but our room was actually very nice, clean and well presented. The reception are is lovely and the lady on reception gave us a very friendly welcome. The bed was comfortable and once I got the radiator on it was warm and cosy.

Great value hotel with very helpful staff. Stayed on Saturday night to attend a family gathering. We had accidentally made our booking for the wrong dates but that was no problem as the receptionist cancelled and gave us rooms for the night at a great rate. The room was basic but very comfortable with a good bed. Only came with 2 pillows but I asked the night concierge and he brought another to my room straightaway. I would definitely stay again

Stayed at the Roman Way for 2 nights after finding my original accommodation elsewhere wasn’t up to scratch. I needed somewhere affordable at very short notice, close to where I was based for the next few days and with parking. The pictures on TripAdvisor helped. Like a lot of hotels that were repurposed in the last few years and are returning to being open to the public, it will take time for this hotel to get back to its former self. At the time I stayed the Roman Way didn’t have an on-site restaurant or bar and was offering rooms only. This was made clear when booking and I’d done some research to see there were options in a relatively short distance for food and drink. This suited me as I usually go out and about when staying in hotels. I’ve stayed in a fair few hotels due to working away from home and the Roman Way would rank with some of the best in its class, which I’ve stayed in. The reception, corridors and outside areas were in a well maintained state. My room was a decent size and ideal for a solo traveller. Very clean and had everything I needed. The free WiFi worked very well. There was a TV in the room and space to work on a laptop. There wasn’t a kettle in the room, however there were tea and coffee making facilities in a room next to reception as well as bottled water and juice in a fridge. I don’t tend to drink tea and coffee so this didn’t bother me but there was ample provided. There was also a TV in this room. Reception is manned 24 hours. Every member of staff made conversation. The chap who checked me in and was working the evening shift on 23rd and 24th July was very helpful and gave me directions for the nearest supermarket. The room was a pleasant temperature and the hotel is set back enough from the main road for road noise to not be an issue. I slept pretty well. I’d recommend staying and would hope the hotel is back to offering what it did a few years ago in the near future. It has a lot of potential as photos of weddings and conferences in the past show.
