Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Huntsman Tavern offers a convenient location close to Salisbury's attractions, including being within a 9-minute walk of the Cathedral and about 15 minutes from both the city center and the train station. Guests often appreciate the rooms equipped with a sink, kettle, tea, coffee, and biscuits. The beds are generally considered comfy, ensuring a good night's sleep; however, some guests have mentioned the music from the pub could be a bit disturbing for early sleepers. The tavern's partnership with other pubs, offering discounts on dinner, is another appreciated perk.

The hotel is a short walk to the city centre. It took me about 15 minutes to reach the cathedral on foot. I found it easy to explore nearby attractions (location is a big plus!).

The staff displayed a great sense of humor. They allowed early check-in, a true lifesaver after a long night. They also kept me in the same room, despite my two separate bookings, which i found very accommodating.

A Few Noise Issues

friendly staff helpful staff cosy room clean bathroom saturday night late noise exterior door creaky corridors

A friendly staff member greeted me. My room was cosy and clean. The shared bathroom also remained very clean. The room has its own sink, helpful.

The Saturday night noise was problematic. Someone banged on the exterior door. They made noise in the corridors outside my room. I got little sleep.
