About The Grafton Rooms
Grafton Street sits within easy reach of Northampton's town centre, and The Grafton Rooms occupies a straightforward spot here, close to pubs, restaurants and other local attractions without being in the thick of the noise. It's the kind of address that suits anyone wanting to be near the action but not on top of it.
Rooms are simple and unfussy rather than plush, with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in room, and family rooms for those travelling with children. A 24 hour reception means arrival times are flexible, and the hotel's garden offers a quiet spot to sit outside, a rare bonus for a central-town property. Free WiFi runs throughout, and free on-site parking removes one of the usual headaches of visiting a town centre.
Beyond the hotel, guests have a golf course, entertainment venues, and a good spread of pubs, restaurants and eateries all nearby, making it easy to fill an evening without travelling far. It won't suit anyone after luxury, but as a plain, practical base for exploring Northampton, it does the job.
What guests say
Placed here by WN council emergency housing room7 how has this place pass safety insp fire door to the room has a big gap round it and you can see the light from hall way with door locked. Smoke alarm hanging out .big gap in small bathroom window at the top when closed. Microwave corroded inside. Not even a mini fridge to keep milk fresh. Gave up trying to use the shower as it was a squeeze fitting through the gap of the doors & once in no room to bend down to wash lower half im 6ft2 22st.

The price of the room was very good. I loved the reception including environment. It is close to the train station, which is great. And, I can’t stop thinking of the bed, I slept so well.

+ The proprietor was very friendly when I arrived and I didn't get there till late, maybe 10:45pm. I had no issues with road noise as other people have mentioned, the windows were double glazed and kept most of the noise out even though I was facing towards the road. The bed was comfy. - The bathroom looked rough, functioned fine but really could do with a little bit of tlc. The hot water took a while to come through on the shower but got there in the end. The main thing is the window in the room into the hall (as shown in my images), a feature of a bygone era. I think the owners should block this off with anything or paint over it as the light in the hall is motion sensor activated and came on a few times when I was trying to get to sleep. Overall, fine if you're there for just a night like I was.

It exceeded my expectations I wasn't sure what to expect after seeing it on Google maps and reading the reviews. We pulled up into a secure parking area and went up some stairs to a lovely seating area to greet us and on seeing we had a less mobile member promptly gave her a lower floor room. He was very helpful. Our rooms were clean but needed a bit of tlc but the bed was clean and very comfy. It's handy for the town centre and I would go back
