You can’t hear noise from the bar which is great. Depending on which room you have (we’ve stayed twice) you can hear through the walls - we could hear cleaners in the morning. The manager kindly sent on lost property which we were grateful for.

Spacious, comfortable room

Stayed in the townhouse rooms, very spacious and quiet, lovely bathroom. Couple of little niggles such as worn furniture but nothing to detract from stay. Very large comfortable bed. Breakfast was included which we hadn't realised so that was a bonus. Excellent location for Lancaster.

The hotel is well located in the heart of the city, very close to the shopping centre and a ten minute walk from the railway station, but in a nice quiet area. The room I stayed in was spacious, comfortable, warm and clean. The breakfast (which was included in the room rate) was substantial and varied. The best I've had for a very long time. I would certainly stay at the Borough when visiting Lancaster again.

Lovely room

A slight problem with the laundry meant that we had to wait until 7.30pm for our bed to be fully made up, however the room was lovely and the homemade shortbread added a nice touch. The bathroom was gorgeous with a big bath plus a walk-in shower.
