This property is great value, easy to access very friendly, clean and comfortable, it’s not fancy but I’ve stayed there twice now and would go back. Staff were ultra helpful & kept kitchen open later for us on late arrival.

Excellent room rate. Perfect location in the heart of Melrose. Staff were welcoming. Nice and quiet. Room could do with an update and refresh (club chair needs replacing, bed box spring too. and the cushions) With some simple changes it would be more inviting and comfortable. Overall, happy...Thank you!

We booked this as we were doing a race at 6am the following morning which started over the road from hotel. So location was perfect. We arrived a little later than expected due to traffic but staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Food was lovely, prefect pre race meal. Rooms were comfortable and just what we needs for a good night's rest. As we missed breakfast as we had to leave, they made us a little bag up with sandwiches, crisps, water and fruit and was ready as we left. Will definitely book again and thank you to the lovely staff.

Lovely surroundings with nice walks and places of interest. I suspect the popularity has reduced the affordable options in the immediate area from accommodation, through to dining and spontaneous stops at cafes etc. Pretty much as expected, although personally I think overpriced for what you receive.

Reasonable overall - food excellent.
Stayed as a couple for family function. We know Melrose very well and have stayed at the G&A before. Above all it is good value and has a certain charm The food is its greatest feature and always pleasantly surprises us with its quality and value for money. Dinner and breakfast are very hard to beat. However, if you want top comfort you’ll need to pay more and stay elsewhere. There is still a certain charm but it badly needs renovation.

The bar staff were friendly is the only positive!
Where to start? There’s no lift so we had to carry a pushchair up 3 flights of stairs every time we got back from anywhere The room was ok but not particularly clean and the bed was far too soft to get comfortable in Stayed for 2 nights and room wasn’t turned down after night 1, which isn’t too big an issue, but you’d think they would top up your coffees and bring clean mugs?!? Only 2 caffeinated coffee sachets in the room and about 10 decafs! Breakfast was a shambles! Too many tables crammed into a tiny room so everyone was on top of each other. Not enough bread and coffee put out so they ran out every 5 minutes and had to go for more. No vegetarian options on the very limited menu so asked if they could just do a fried egg on toast each for the wife and I. Half an hour later asked where our food was and was told the large table have all ordered full breakfasts so they’re cooking those first?!? I wasn’t expecting anything exceptional when I booked this place but some level of hospitality experience / ability is the least you expect when booking a hotel. Definitely won’t be staying here again!

It’s a maze to get to your room, we opened the door to a stale smell and a room full of spiders and cobwebs. The staff were friendly and cleaned it out after but it wasn’t very pleasant. very basic room. Also they don’t offer multiple items on their drink menu which can be quite confusing. Parking was nice though.

Staff were helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was very good. Room extremely basic and the hotel generally very tired. Shame...its a lovely old building....but in desperate need of improvement. However, it was clean.
