While the room was a bit small, the location was great. You can walk to almost any of the many old-town attractions. There is a decent restaurant/bar below the hotel. The staff was all very friendly. And, as a bonus, there is free secure parking on the lot just behind the hotel (you enter through a gate that goes under the 2nd floor). It's a bit loud until 11:00 (on the weekend) and then very quiet afterward. Despite the crowded room, we loved it and would go back.

We stayed a lot of places on our trip around the UK and Ireland, and even though this hotel wasn't the nicest, it was one of our favorites! Our room was small and bathroom had seen better days, but we loved staying here! It is above a pub/restaurant, so food and drinks were convenient. Staff was lovely and fish and chips were amazing! Lots of shops and restaurants around and an easy walk over to the Shambles! Thank you for the awesome stay, Watergate Inn! :D

Good family room but right on street side so lots of street noise. Other rooms off street would be fine. Good food onsite and surrounded by tasty restaurants. Heart of old city. Approx 1 mile walk to train station.

The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Our stay was brilliant the staff were fantastic & so friendly. I was unaware that there was on site free parking so I ended up paying but other than that it was an excellent stay.
