I stayed at the Victoria Inn for two nights. A lovely genuine welcome from the owner, Tian. My room was warm, bed comfortable, and en-suite clean with very hot water. Good supply of tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast was great. No evening meal available but that was probably because my visit was mid week in the low season. There are other places to eat nearby. The hotel is traditional, and great value for money.

Budget friendly accomadation in the town centre. Drinks reasonably priced.Room was spacious and clean. Owner was lovely. She made us very welcome. Breakfast was good although there was no choice just standard breakfast served with orange juice tea and coffee. Bar was very busy which is a good sign. We would stay again if in the area.

Cheap and cheerful, though stuck in the 80s. Everything could do with a face-lift, but the rooms were clean, bed comfy, and breakfast great. The host was very friendly, and I was not expecting a Chinese lady to be running the place. Because we booked well ahead, I don't think you'll find a cheaper B&B.

£47 for a private room, absolute luxury after 6 days of wildcamping the Pennine Way. Host was lovely and happily sorted me a big vegan breakfast. Highly recommend for an easy/rest day on the PW.

Best hotel accommodation we had on our Pennine Way walk. Room clean and heated with lovely view out over this very interesting, old, partially restored town. Breakfast full english style. Functioning wifi and across street from PO and Co-op. This is a character hotel with a great manager committed to her guests.

The hotel is old and very dated - carpets were very worn, 1980's vintage TV in my small single room (that I couldn't get to work properly!), altogether it lacked any charm or appeal. …

The Inn is very old and tired - needing serious renovation. But it's great value for money. I paid £35 for a single room - 1 night.It does "what it says on the tin" - Bed and breakfast. The bed was clean, soft but comfortable, the 6-item breakfast (plus juice, toast and coffee or tea) - was hearty. Small rooms - but basically clean and functional enough for a 1-night stay. Small unisex toilet with a faulty lock! The TV in my room was probably bought around 1980 or 1990 at the latest - I couldn't find a way to get it to work properly. No lift. Central location - but up a fairly steep hill! - on Alston's main thoroughfare, near the market cross and Co-op. It's not luxury - check the price - a lot of other hotels and inns nearby are considerably pricier!

Very friendly and welcoming reception, ensuite was clean and tidy, bed very comfortable. Full English was included plus juice and fruit. On the Pennine Way in the middle of Alston. Competitive prices.

Great stay at the Victoria hotel. This hotel is definitely on the old and tired side but it's very reasonably priced and the owner friendly and hospitable. We arrived early on bicycles on a cold we day. The room was soon warmed up. Great breakfast. I'd definitely recommend a stay in this charactful place!

When my pal and I arrived we were a bit taken by somewhat dated decor of the place. However, this more than made up for by the landlady who was really lovely. The rooms were basic but clean and breakfast in the morning was great.

Great hostess, pub and breakfast. We had such a good Saturday night there and the breakfast in the morning was good too and hostess is fab. This pub/hotel will be on sale in a year's time and it is in a fabulous location, if I had the money I would buy it.
