Good value for money place in Salisbury: Great location, comfortable room and nice breakfast.
Pros:

It was a great location: situated in the Cathedral Close, it is very central and had a nice "historical" feeling. The rooms were small but were clean, comfortable and functional. The breakfast was also good (porridge and cooked breakfast etc).

Cons:

The College is not at the luxury end of hotels - in terms of facilities/ amenities etc - but the proce should tell you that - it is good VFM particularly relative to the location etc

Amazing location next to Salisbury Cathedral, very peaceful inside Cathedral Close
Pros:

Simple, clean rooms with a fabulous location across the street from Salisbury Cathedral, inside the Cathedral Close, so it’s very peaceful. The Close gates close at 23:00.
Breakfast is in the college refectory, buffet style, with all the traditional delicious English Breakfast options in addition to pastries, fruit, cereal, and more. Staff are friendly and helpful, but this isn’t a hotel. If we needed more instant coffee packets, we went downstairs to ask for them. It’s a theological college, renting some of its basic guest rooms to tourists. In the halls, you pass administrative offices, library, and see professors at breakfast. Such an incredible experience to be next to the cathedral, in an educational setting, and an easy walk to the Market Place and many restaurants. We stayed 3 nights and would definitely book again.
