The Earl of Doncaster Hotel

Pros: Booked this hotel for a couple of nights in Doncaster. I was pleasantly surprised on arrival that it was a "posh" hotel; completely unexpected. The decor in the lobby, bar/restaurant and surrounding rooms is very unique, quirky and cool. The room was nice and spacious, with some cool amenities like the tissue box and desk lamp. The bathroom is lovely with a powerful, hot shower and a separate bath. The highlight of this hotel is definitely the staff. Lovely, friendly people on reception, and an absolutely exceptional barman named Marcin. He went way above and beyond making us delicious cocktails on both nights, and after our evening out on the 2nd night he went out of his way to show us around the hotel's ballrooms, telling us about the history of hotel, the founder and the owners. His passion for his role shines through, he was truly a credit to the hotel, and made our stay memorable. We will be back in no small way thanks to him. The restaurant serves lovely food, even a very tasty vegan pie, and the bar is open 24hrs for guests. Cons: Biggest con is a very loud, irritating buzzing noise occurring at about 3am for about 10 minutes. We're not sure what it was, but it was loud enough to wake us up both nights. Fed back to reception upon checkout and they said they'd look into it.

15/20 mins to city centre. Did not stay the night so ignore 4 star. Ballroom is very nicely done out. Service of the food good. Waiters endlessly emptying tables of spent drinking glasses. As you would expect drink prices high as per any other hotel.

I love this hotel. It’s quirky, original and fun!! It’s also impeccably maintained with spacious comfortable rooms. But it’s the staff who make it such a great place to stay, always happy to help, to provide great service and always with a smile. It’s a great team. I would however agree with one of the comments that the breakfast is overpriced. But overall I would highly recommend it.

Interesting place... Love the art deco stuff. Rooms mainly clean (see photo for random footprints on the wall) which was the only fault we had with the room. Bar, like most hotels, lacking in good beer and bit pricey compared to local pubs. But overall a good place to stay.

Arrived fri 31st Oct..We booked in with a very friendly lady on reception, How ever when we went up to our room 311 we couldn't enter our key cards wouldn't work so I went back down explained our situation So the lady redone our keys and came up with me we had a very friendly chat. To then discover the keys were still not working..so we go back to reception with her and the very kind lady upgraded us to a king-size very nice lovely say will definitely be back very friendly staff. The bars a bit pricey but we only had 2 drinks there. Highly recommend this very quirky hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rose and Paddy
