Best Western Lairgate Hotel

Tired old 1970's décor let the room down. Taps had a mind of their own, toilet wouldn't flush (had to take the top off & do it manually!), horrible old wardrobe. By contrast, the staff could not have been more helpful & the breakfasts were really good. Cheap enough, but the stench of urine in the Gents toilets downstairs was unbearable & unforgiveable. less

We stayed in the Lairgate for a couple of nights, for the Beverley Chamber Music Festival. The room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfasts were excellent. But what made our stay, were the excellent and friendly staff. Late one evening, after the concert, we struggled to find any restaurant open (including the hotel). We could find a Thai takeaway, and the Lairgate staff served us drinks, then got us plates, so that we could eat our takeaway. What a thoroughly decent experience - thank you so much, Lairgate. less

stayed here for the 2nd time, the staff are so polite and helpful, it’s a quirky hotel, little rooms here and there, through doors up stairs, we love it, straight down a little gennel past the green dragon and you are in the main market square, no more than 10 minutes walk to the train station and Flemingate. The breakfast sets you up for the day, juices, cereals, fruit, yoghurts, traditional and veggie, or if you prefer something different, kippers eggs on toast, they do it all. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and it was very spacious, gorgeous 4 poster. will definitely be staying here again. less

My husband and I stayed at the Lairgate for a night away. We picked it because our experience of Best Western hotels has always been very good but we were so disappointed with this hotel. The car park was full due to a wedding but that wasn’t too much of a problem as there was a large car park near by and it only cost £5 until the next morning. Our first impression of the hotel was poor. The reception is a tatty desk by the back door which looked shabby and grubby. We were checked in and showed to our room by a pleasant gentlemen which was lovely but I was surprised at how dated the room was. The furnishings are very 90s. Dark wood furniture, a cream unit over the bed which looked dated and shabby and an old fashioned carpet. The room was clean though and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was very basic with a nasty green vinyl floor and shabby towels. Our stay wasn’t helped by guests who felt it was ok to come in at 4am and sing and shout until 5.30an although I completely understand this was not the hotel’s fault. Breakfast was really good, plenty of choice and good coffee but again the dining room was tatty and needed a good redecorate. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and with some investment this could be a lovely little hotel but definitely not up to Best Western’s standards at the moment. less
