The Tavern room felt like something out of the 70’s. Very poor shower, room very dated. No breakfast in pub even thought comments on websites seem to show it is offered. ….. and most cafes offer scone and cake rather than breakfast fare. Parking is a real issue in Alnwick so beware.

It had a clean bed and towels that’s about the only good thing I could say, wallpaper pealing off you had to sit sideways on the toilet then your right arm rested over the sink. The shower door was difficult to open, anyone of a certain size probably wouldn’t be able to get through the door. Carpet not so clean I left me shoes on when walking on it. The room was very dated, bed only they didn’t do breakfast and it was a walk from the car park we were told to park in. We wouldn’t go back

We stayed here whilst at a wedding in Alnwick. The staff were lovely and helpful and we were able to check in after two. If in Alnwick we would use this hotel again.

Great check in by super friendly staff. The bed was fantastic and the stay overall was good.....however, we stayed in room 1 which according to the reviews was the best room. It had great views and it was comfy but if we were to stay again I feel they should invest in a door lock that didn't stick causing us to leave the door unlocked or find a member of staff to lock or unlock our door. Finally the shower was extremely poor, it had a shower head that's supposed to enhance the power but failed miserably. I feel a low cost investment would give the room a 5 star rating taking into account the age of the property.

Great central location pub and restaurant
Really nice friendly staff - our bikes were locked up in their rear yard and they moved them inside the building when they closed around midnight! Exceptional service. We also ate there and food good. We had booked the room with no window as it was cheaper. It was hot at night but because no one else was around we left door open.

Must do ( an awful lot!) Better!
Rooms were a bit tired and needed much better cleaning. Bedding and towels were clean. One room of two had hand soap dispenser and shower toiletries. No servicing of rooms other than replacing water and SOME coffees, tea, and biscuits and got missing soap dispenser. Shabby toilet shower room never cleaned in 4 days. Towels never changed. No facility in shower to hold soap, shampoo, bodywash. At £90 per day per room, not great value. Pursued from the bar restaurant by female staff member on day 2 of 4 day stay for room payment, obviously in case you were to complain and withold any payment due to the inadequacies of servicing the room. Extremely disappointing, and would not recommend staying here longer than 1 day if you really had to! We did eat here one evening and had a lovely meal. But also note that no breakfast is included in the price of the room! Fortunately we managed to enjoy the surroundings of Alnwick anyway, no thanks to the Market Tavern accomodation!

Awful. Avoid!
I checked in yesterday afternoon and was shown to a room with no window which was boiling hot. I asked if there was a room with a window available (simply due to the heat) and was shown to one. On arrival it was explained that I should not open the window as pigeons regularly enter the room and each time this happens it needs to be fumigated. I checked straight out! No apologies, no offer of a refund, nothing. I had to spend a large sum of money on another hotel room nearby. I contacted Hotels.com who spoke to the property and informed me that apparently I had said it was ok, which is simply untrue! (I showed them my booking receipt for the new hotel). Refund declined. Absolutely appalling service from both the hotel and Hotels.com. This place is disgusting and should not be open for business.
