We felt welcomed and well taken care of in this authentically old but super clean hotel.
In no particular order, our experience at Pilgrims Hotel exceeded our expectations based on location (right in the middle of everything with easy walking to many key points in the city), restaurant and pub on premises, friendliness and competence of the staff (the manager and the housekeeper in particular were very accommodating and kind), the cleanliness (it's an OLD property, and yet I never felt it was grungy anywhere), the quality of the bedding and towels is very high, the air temperature control in the room was good (we were there in winter and the heating was very responsive), the fact that we had not only a shower, but also a bathtub in our room, bottled water provided each day in the room, and finally, the fact that they they had a family room to let. Outstanding value for our dollar, and a great place for families.
One issue, which we mitigated, was the water temperature of the shower. It was a little out of whack delivering cold water.
