    comfortable bed
    great views

    amazing city views and quick access to local attractions

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with a comfortable bed and wonderful views of the town square, and it was so convenient to take a short stroll to see the historic Kelso Abbey which is only about 500 meters away.

    cute atmosphere
    limited shower options
    minor accessibility issues

    The Cross Keys Hotel, Kelso has a charming decor that reflects the local culture, along with spacious common areas that are easy to navigate. The staff's warmth added to the cute atmosphere.

    Could use better shower facilities for seniors.

    good dinner
    poor shower pressure

    I had a good stay, especially enjoying the generous portions at breakfast and the good three-course dinner. The atmosphere was vibrant, but the shower pressure was a letdown.

    fantastic location
    delicious evening meal
    friendly service
    plumbing issues
    dated decor
    morning noise

    The location at Cross Keys Hotel is fantastic, right in the heart of Kelso Square. The room was spacious, but it felt dated and could use a makeover. The staff were cute and helpful. Dinner in the Saddlers Restaurant was a highlight. The food was delicious, especially the homemade steak pie. Breakfast options exceeded my expectations. Everything was cooked well and fresh. There were issues with the plumbing in the ladies' bathroom with a strong smell. The communal areas were clean and pleasant, but my room had a musty odor. I did enjoy the attentive service during meals, though the slow pace during busy times was frustrating. I noticed some noise from cleaning staff in the morning, which interrupted a peaceful start to the day. It's a charming spot with potential but needs attention to details in certain areas to really shine.

    Really good dining and helpful staff

    The dinner at the restaurant was excellent, with locally sourced ingredients, made each dish nice. The breakfast was equally excellent, with a variety of options that filled our mornings with joy. One downside was the room decor, which could use a modern touch to enhance the overall vibe.

    great dining experience

    Recommend it for groups looking for a good meal

    We had an very nice Sunday lunch, 3 roast meats and amazing veggies, all for under £18! Plus, the staff were so friendly, it was like we were all family there, very cute!

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but I'd say it was justifiable for what we got.

    Really good Breakfast and Friendly Service

    The breakfast was a highlight, with a superb selection of freshly cooked items, and the staff were genuinely friendly. The room itself was comfortable with lovely views over the square. I found the lighting in the room to be a bit dim, which could be improved.
