Guest reviews
The Sliding Rock Inn averages 4.4 out of 5 across 845 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Stayed here with a friend and we really liked it. Positives: location was great, away from the center but only a 10min walk, we felt safe as two girls walking from the Latin quarter back at night. The staff was SO friendly, they refilled our water bottles for us (with ice) everytime and always said hi as we went in and out. Room was clean and nice with comfy beds. Free parking. A few shops around the area were nice. The pub was pretty busy and it was nice to be able to grab a drink downstairs. We forgot we had free breakfast and didn’t eat anything during our stay so can’t comment on food. Negatives: it was warmer than normal for June (2023) which isn’t there fault but there’s no ac so it…
Had a lovely stay at the sliding rock with my friends! Easy, flexible check in and check out. The rooms are clean and fairly utilitarian (read: small), but we spent most of our time out and about anyhow. The bathroom door stuck, and we couldn't get it completely shut, and it was a struggle to reopen it again. Water pressure in the shower was so-so, and the beds were on the firmer side. Not a perfect room, but gets the job done, and I'd definitely stay here again, due to the price, the food, and the location. The complimentary breakfast was great, recommend the scones with jam! We also had dinner there two nights; my friends raved about the fish and chips, and the bangers and mash was great!
