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

The hotel has seen better days, the stairs to all the bedrooms were never hoovered during our four night stay. Housekeeping gave us fresh towels, tea and milk but did not empty the two bins or make the bed. The windows were not clean. We tried to get a drink at the bar but there was no staff to be seen, no-one at reception either so we just went to another hotel for a drink.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

I liked the historic charm of the building but, in my opinion, there is a need for some considerable investment to make it a bit more comfortable for guests. For example, the window did not open which made by wife anxious. The sliding door would not function.
