We arrived at the hotel no one they had to call to check in
Outside neglected and scruffy
Common areas neglected dead plants peeling paint
Whole place tired
Bedding looked clean
We refused to check in and received a full refund
The owner was very welcoming and appeared from somewhere to check me in fairly promptly. He did everything to help me; even my strange request to borrow a tin opener. Breakfast was left in the room, I liked this self service.
The room was clean with supreme white bed linen and the bathroom nice; a tad dated but for the price I canât complain. Unfortunately, the single bed felt lopsided, so I didnât sleep well. Probably due to the old walls of the house, so not the owners fault. It was a hot night but fortunately there was a fan in the wardrobe. All essentials are in place. Location is superb. Such a beautiful, old town and picturesque walk; Like stepping back in time. I really enjoyed my stay. It felt safe and relaxing!
What a beautiful gem so quaint.Quiet space,relaxing friendly welcome by staff.
Conveniently placed near by for shopping and local Theatre trip Will return again to Candlesticks.
The property is right in the heart of Stamford and having a parking area is a real bonus.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
The rooms were clean and tidy and perfectly adequate for single occupancy, maybe on the small side for two. I loved the provision of breakfast items but in my room, although there was a table, there was no seating for two people, only a vanity stool.
The en-suite bathroom was spacious, with shower supplies and fresh white towels provided, but no working shower over the bath, and on the whole it could do with some maintenance and modernisation.
In spite of this seemingly critical review my friend and I had a pleasant stay and would use Candlesticks again for its location, convenience and reasonable price.
The owner is a very good and friendly host even carried suit cases up to the room and give us a drink on the house when we arrived. It's the first place I will look for to book the next time I am in Stamford
Excellent welcome on arrival end excellent accommodation with breakfast all ready in your room with cerealâs and Tea, Coffee sugar and milk so was close to hand in the morning.
Room was poorly decorated and one wall just bear plasterboard, bed uncomfortable. Breakfast was a toaster in the room and some cereal to make it yourself, overall wouldnât use again.
It was in a convenient location. Easy check in and breakfast left in the room. Small fridge was useful. A general update (redec) of the common areas and room 5 would be useful.
