Very charming hotel with a lively vintage vibe and an excellent restaurant. The room and general interior seemed tired, but everything was very clean and smelled lovely. The courtyard beer garden is very characterful! The staff were all young and cheerful and the food was phenomenal! Do go for their recommendation of house beers - Arkell's Brewery, very good brew. My partner and I often go for short city breaks and recently decided to steer clear of AirBnB for ethical reasons and seek out local hotels and alternative accommodation. The room at the Lansdowne Hotel was very affordable and comfortable, and our whole stay well rounded!
Stayed here before as hotel choice in Calne is limited. No hotel car park. Pay and display carpark within 1 minute's walk. It's possible to load/unload outside main entrance.
Building is old coach house and oozes old-world charm.
Decoration in public rooms is good, but at the expense of upstairs rooms, which are "tired". Rooms have good and bad points:
Comfortable king sized bed, single glazed windows. T.v. and good beverage facility but noisy macerating toilet (don't flush at night!).
I didn't have a meal, so unable to comment on food. The staff are friendly and helpful.
It's fine for a short stay, but you may wish to consider a chain hotel.
The bathroom ceiling had mould on it, the carpet leading to the bathroom dirty and the windows were filthy behind the secondary glassing that we could not move as had come off the runner
Lovely hotel right in the centre of Calne. But being in the centre, there is traffic noise. Breakfast was really nice with a good choice of continental items. I only stayed 1 night but it was perfect for my needs.
