Everything.. staff listened and acted accordingly . Changed to lower floor when I mentioned my knees at my age was complaining about stairs.
Room was tidied regularly and topped up daily.
This hotel was really great. Lovely helpful, friendly staff and very clean. Great full english breakfast. Close to all amenities.
Would highly recommend.
I love everything about this property, lovely staff, warm and cosy, home from home feel, quiet, spotlessly clean, lovely food, great location in town centre, convenient to everything,
We had a great experience at the Plough! We were there for a function and the staff could not have been friendlier! Room was clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent and a great value at £10. Eady walking distance to centre of town. I would definitely stay again!
When I checked in, I was automatically upgraded to a larger room. Staff were friendly and accommodating. My suitcase was carried up to my room by a staff member.
I paid extra for the breakfast for convenience. Walkable to plenty of shopping and restaurants. It was a 15 minute walk from the train station.
Nice room and bar. Restaurant food quality is very good. Staff give a 5 star service.

It was ok, but unfortunately our room had a smell to it as soon as you opened the door also the corridor smelt of weed both at night and in the morning. The staff were very friendly.
The stay was amazing. It was my first stop over from lying from Africa.
The staff are incredible and very friendly.
I highly recommend the Plough hotel for anyone visiting Northampton

Convenient for town centre and sightseeing but surounding streets were drab and run-down. Very small number of staff, who went above and beyond to make us welcome. No lift and quite a few stairs (could be tricky for some). Room was extremely small but included fridge - useful in the heat.
Had a great stay at the hotel. It was clean and a nice place to relax. Staff are friendly. Loved having dressing gown and slippers in the room. The hotel was mid way between the places we needed to visit so was great. Would definitely go there again.

Good value with lovely staff
Maria and her colleague at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. Lovely warm welcome. Hotel is in a convenient area of town for shops, river, canal, pubs. Parking was available.
It was okay, but just that. There was good parking, but the rooms were a little run down, and the walls were thin. The price was right for staying in town, but I would likely try somewhere else next time.
I was welcomed by 'Christine' at the front desk on my arrival, she was so welcoming, smiling, friendly and she was most helpful throughout every aspect of my stay and nothing was a problem for her. The hotel was very clean and well run and most comfortable, homely and pleasant throughout my stay. A lovely experience throughout!
