Good price, easy check in, parking, friendly staff, v good breakfast. Good convenient location. Room was dated and too warm. A fan in the room would help. Hotel is in a residential area so a little noisy advise to take ear plugs.

Property was basic and ok for the price. Room was clean but aged. Parking appeared ok until I left to find someone low life had decided to key my car. Don’t think I would park outside the hotel again. Very convenient for Gun Wharf quay. and station.

Easy check in and we managed to get a space parked outside. Room was a good size with a comfy bed, TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a good size bathroom, with a few toiletries. Breakfast had plenty of food to choose from and they provided vege sausage and boiled eggs when we asked for them. Pool was a bonus. It was small and very warm, but nice to relax in. Collect and sign for towels and key to the pool at reception. Jacuzzi wasnt working. Less than 10 mins walk to Gunwharf Quay and the historic dockyard, 5 mins walk to the train station, and about 15 mins walk to the centre of town.

If you've ever served in the forces you'll think you've walked back into one of the messes. Its full of as you'd expect Naval touches and great because of it. It has loads of quirks to it from a peaceful reading room library to a small pool what's not to like. Hey its a bit dated but personally that was part of the charm. As for location, couldn't be much better for the historic dockyard/gunwharf quays/train station/ferry. I will be staying there again.

It's an interesting hotel but tired! Must be an ex naval personnel club or hotel I would guess due to the large collection of naval memorabilia. Nice and decorative inside in an old fashioned way. Convenient for the Historic Dockyard which is only about 10 minutes walk away and was the reason for our trip, and Gunwarf Quays. Good cooked breakfast at a reasonable price. Nice and clean and a comfortable bed. Enjoyable stay but wouldn't stay here again.

This is a beautiful, historic hotel. We had 2 family rooms which were clean. Location is excellent for visiting the old historic area of town. We stayed 1 night before ferry to France the next morning. Coffee/tea service in the room was very good. Definitely would stay again.
