8/10 Very good

Nice friendly spot with good pub food

The service, food and the bar were excellent with friendly staff. I had a small.single room overlooking the high street and you could hear what was going on in the street but it didn't stop me sleeping
Sean, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Another stay at the G and A. My only criticism would be the need for heavier curtains in the room, as they are very thin so the room is extremely bright in the morning.

Sally, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient for an overnight stay, but there is no AC or electric fans available at reception and it was a hot day/evening. Breakfast for the price is great!!!

A very central big old hotel with nice staff. The pub had excellent food. Unfortunately there was a gang of golfer's too noisy to here the singer that preformed.

Stephen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location right on the high street in Melrose, but the hotel is very dated and in need of redecoration. I seem to have been upgraded and had a much better room than I expected, very large with a bay window overlooking the street, so I was very pleased with my stay. Breakfast is good and freshly cooked to order.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Cheap & cheerful. Nice beer garden!
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The food and drink in the pub was nice. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was huge but average. The toilet would not flush properly. I would probably not stay here again if there were other options.
Uwe, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay was ok however tv didn’t work, bathroom was mouldy, shower was connected to bath taps so couldn’t get a comfortable heat. Breakfast was ok but bacon tasted a bit fishy? Staff were nice.
Kayleigh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Melrose gem

We had a very warm informative welcome. The room was at the back which helped it be quieter when the private parties could be loud when they were on in the function room. It looks as if some updating is happening and needs new window frames and closers. The bed was comfy. Hospitality tray was great. In the bar the staff were great. You were served quickly and they kept the bar tidy. They were very friendly. We had bar sharing plate snack which was amazing. We didn’t have breakfast as not breakfast eaters so can’t comment about that. We loved our stay and everything about the hotel.

Good check in arrangements. Comfortable bed. Good size bathroom. Shower needs updating, TV too small for room. Over priced for room. Nice hotel but tired and requires some TLC.
