What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 715 guest reviews
Hotel 24 South earns consistently strong sentiment thanks to its prime downtown Staunton location — directly beside the Shakespeare theatre and steps from restaurants and shops — combined with a charming historic character and genuinely friendly staff. Recurring gripes centre on noisy HVAC systems, compact room sizes inherent to the older building, and a handful of service inconsistencies, while some guests felt amenities such as the bar and pool could be better maintained. Overall, it is regarded as good value for its setting, though those expecting a fully modernised property may find the ageing facilities a minor drawback.
