We have stayed at the Roebuck on a few occasions as my brother and his family live in Ware so it is very convenient for us. The hotel is basic and in a good central locasion. Our room was a good size, the bed comfortable but the room looked a bit shabby and the bathroom definitely needs updating. For a... More

Family of 4 (2 adults, children 15 and 11). The rooms we stayed in (interconnecting family room) were large, clean, had comfortable beds and they were well stocked (tea / coffee / towels / tolietries). But the rooms were let down because they were rather shabby. The decor was outdated and the chairs looked like they needed some tlc. Some... More

We were given Buy a Gift hotel vouchers for Christmas and decided to book a weekend away with our dog at the Roebuck because it was listed as dog friendly. The hotel was the most appalling dog friendly hotel I have ever stayed in, whereby our beloved pet could only stay in the room, and was not allowed access to... More

The Roebuck had a warm welcome BUT it desperately needs a face lift and refurb!! We were in Ware for our granddaughters 18th, and needed to stay within walking distance of her home, normally we would stay in a premier inn, but the nearest was 10 miles away, so decided to give the ROEBUCK HOTEL a try for the convenience...

We are a retired professional married couple. Have stayed here often in the past. Stayed for 2 nights in February, booked another 2 nights in March. Can't believe some of the negative reviews. The manager, Barry Flint - and his staff are superb. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Our room was comfortable and the food very good too.... More

This place reminded me quite a lot of The Overlook Hotel in The Shining; dingy, bleak, a bit of a throwback to bad old days. One of the chaps on reception was quite rude, although the rest were nice enough. The rooms are small and old fashioned, not very clean, and the bathrooms are stained with green gunk around the...

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments following your recent stay at the hotel. After reading the latest reviews it seems that there is a lack of consistancy in the offering at the hotel with regards to the restaurant.

I have stayed here often over years. Has reasonable function rooms, and bedrooms are adequate for money paid. It's not a Marriott and you pay accordingly. V handy for town pubs/restaurants and work sites. Staff on reception always try hard, can be slow at breakfast. Rooms 1-3 are best. Don't go for a single, can be cramped. More

I was in Ware for one night only with my son for a family Xmas, and picked this hotel because of its central location. Checked in at 9pm and left at 11am, so we didn't stay here long...
