Trip down memory lane.

Pricey for what is on offer.

Some guests of the Grosvenor Arms Shaftesbury have felt that while the Hotel has been furnished to a high standard, some rooms did not live up to their expectations, being cramped, with limited views, and no real wow factor.

Short staff.

Several guests have felt that staff at the hotel struggle under pressure, and lack in personable skills, not being as helpful or polite as they could have been.

negative:

Noisy at night.

Some guests who have stayed in rooms that overlook the courtyard have complained that it can get very noisy during the evening here, particularly if live music is being played-possibly worth considering if you are a light sleeper or have young children wi
