Firstly I would like to say that Due to the Corona Virus we were not allowed to stay in the KM Central Hotel. We were moved about a mile out of town to Salisbury Bar and Bistro Hotel. The Hotel entrance was difficult to find as It was a small door round the back of the building which did not resemble an Hotel at all. However the inside was very clean and a one way system was in place. The room was nice and spacious with a large comfy bed, The Breakfast was waitress service due to Covid 19 . The staff were all extremely nice and helpful and the breakfast was excellent which was all locally sourced produce.

Every single thing about it, could do with a lift we were on the fourth floor.

Very friendly staff and the room was very clean, would definitely be booking up again.

A compact but very practical room. Even though it was small it did include a desk and chair, which I appreciated as I was travelling for work. I was checking in late as well and it was nice to be greeted by friendly staff. The breakfast was really excellent.
