“Best hotel in Oakham”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I have used this hotel for a number of years and despite (as other reviewers have commented) tired bathrooms have always found it comfortable, the owners pleasant and helpful and the cooked to order breakfast second to none. In addition they have that scarcest of assets in Oakham a secure car park. They have now embarked on a refurbishment programme and rooms are well furnished, beautiful bathrooms with power showers and free wifi in all rooms. I've stayed in other Oakham hotels and to be candid the Old Wisteria is less expensive, cleaner and the staff more courteous than any of them. Whipper Inn is a rip off, Admiral Hornblower is hit and miss with no parking.

Room Tip: All rooms are generously sized but rooms at front may be a little noisier, though have to say didn...

“Not bad for a short stay in Oakham.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

Making a refreshing change from the faceless chains, the Old Wisteria is ideal for short stays in Oakham

We visited just for one night and found the hotel to be clean and well presented. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very good. Nice to see an independent hotel that cooks food to order...something that larger hotel chains should consider.

Only downside was the lack of facilities but if you're only there for a few nights then it's not really a big issue.

“Good hotel for a short stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

I was here for a weekend. No real complaints about it - bathroom v. good, my single had a double bed in, more than enough storage etc. It was a bit bland - so fine if you were there on business or for a short stay but you'd want more if staying longer, and more facilities.

“Slightly worn, friendly owner. Would use again if in the area.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

As mentioned, bathrooms are looking a bit worn and could do with a makeover, but the owner is friendly and knowlegeable, good location, good price for an independent hotel.

Has wired, free internet, they ought to mention this.

Excellent breakfasts cooked to order.

Room Tip: Book the old rooms.
