Elephant and Castle

The pub and the room themselves are lovely.  We were served by a man behind the bar who greeted us with ‘what’s the name?’ He then couldn’t find the booking as he didn’t have the correct apps from which we booked through…continued to say we wasn’t booked even though proof of booking was given.  His approach changed as soon as he realised he was in the wrong, showed us to the room where we found it wasn’t what I had payed for. I booked a king size bed with two singles, was given a room with just two singles. The bathroom had hairs everywhere and hardly any toilet roll. Obviously hadn’t been cleaned and replenished. When we returned back to the room later on in the evening the room was extremely warm, tried to adjust the heating where we discovered it was only able to be changed by the bar downstairs. The bar closed at 10pm to which afterwards there was no staff on the premises. Either be too hot or open the window and have the loud noises from a main road. Couldn’t win either way.  As mentioned very nicely decorated rooms but issues throughout.

Arrived on the thurs canny hotel first nobody in hotel so girl took us to room 2 ,room not very big but will do no lock on toilet and right on bed lol.first night nit of headache as no keys as ladyy said everything codes . nightmare getting bk in side gate handle down instead of up to get in lol.thought we were locked out pub shut no number for help but managed .bed rock hard only one pillow each ,tiny bit toilet roll and coffee bought more myself of hoing down pub to ask for more.

Modern ,comfy and spotless rooms. Very welcoming hosts and great fun. Stayed for the races in Pontefract only 20 minutes away. Great location for train station and cheap parking, Wakefield City centre and surrounding towns. Would definitely recommend 👌
