Good service from pleasant staff let down by the overall feel of the place which is stuck in a 1980's time warp. Just because the hotel is so named doesn't necessarily mean a wisteria-themed carpet in Reception is a must-have style choice. We stayed a night after a local wedding. The bathroom had been well modernised but the bedding was... More

Check in isn't before 2 o'clock which wasn't really convenient for me. Wasn't shown up to my room. On arrival to the room,it was adequate as a single room,and a nice spacious bathroom. The bed cover was VERY grubby,but the bed was clean and comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant was very tasty,unfortunately my starter had a very large black curly... More

Stayed here over the bank holiday for one night & got a reasonable deal. The room was very clean & comfortable, if a little dated. We had requested a downstairs room which we got, but it was a little dark on the north side of the building. There is no outside space at the hotel to sit out. The breakfast... More

Another stay at the Old Wisteria while visiting Osprey at Rutland Water. The room, bed and bathroom were very spacious - a treat in these times. The restaurant never seems very busy - not sure why as we had 2 very good dinners and the chef went out of his way to please - one evening I could not make... More

A comfortable, easy to find hotel in Oakham's main street. Accommodated our early arrival without fuss. The room we had was spacious and the en suite facilities were well appointed. We only stayed one night and the breakfast in the morning was filling. Staff were friendly and although reception was not manned when we arrived it was easy to contact... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights on the strength of other Trip Advisor reviews and were not dissapointed. True, this hotel is not the easiest to find - it does not have clear signage at the front and the car park is down a narrow alley way opposite the fire station on a back street. We are glad... More

We have just returned from a two-night stay at The Old Wisteria and are very pleased with the experience. Reasonably easy to find, the front entrance is on the main road through Oakham, with ample parking, accessed at the rear of the hotel (opposite the Fire Station). Booking-in was easy enough, with any requirements such as morning papers, wake-up call... More

Booked for an overnight stay as we were meeting up with friends and wanted a hlaf-way stay. On making the reservation the staff could not have been more helpful but possibly a little mis-leading.

I would echo the other reviewers, this is a lovely town hotel in the centre of Oakham. We had a big comfy room at the front of the hotel with a modern bathroom. Big car park at the rear of the hotel, friendly greeting at reception with a lovely full English breakfast in the morning. Good value too.
