Initially we thought the building was quite nice and the room was nice and cosy. There was pretty much everything we needed but a few things missing such as spoons for tea and coffee. A few down points, my pillowcase wasn’t changed the few nights I was there and on the final night I had to ask for a new pillowcase which I had to change myself, after specifically asking for a clean in the room as the night before only the bed was made, there was rubbish left around the room, the carpet was very dirty, one of the teacups was quite dirty, most annoyingly, the coffee machine wasn’t working properly and there was no tray to put the cup on. The staff downstairs were lovely but unfortunately, the cleanliness of the room really wasn’t good for us, considering we wanted to just relax and have a little luxury.

A unique British Experience. Pub atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great service and food in the pub. Excellent included breakfast. Be prepared with a carry on bag to your room as this old building has no elevator. Comfortable beds, clean room with unique decor. Music in the surrounding area ended around 11, and after that it was pretty quiet. If you’re afraid to have a little fun, then maybe this isn’t the place for you. But to start off your vacation with friends it checked off all the boxes. Bridget was an amazing hostess. And all the staff were friendly and courteous. We’d definitely go back.

Very convenient location for getting on or off a cruise ship and a reasonable walk to the city area. Could have used a few extra outlets for computers and mobile devices. The included breakfast options was excellent.

This was one of the best places we stayed in a long time. All, really all was perfect. First of all, this tavern and hotel hosted some of the guests from the famous Titanic, and the premises are as beautiful now as they must have been, back then. Very well renovated and the upkeep is great. Nicely decorated rooms with complementary water for your enjoyment. We loved the little details to make sure the guests have everthing they might need in their rooms. Coffee, Tea, treats.There is no lift and the building is very vintage, but the staff is nice enough to help the guests with luggage. We ate at their tavern and the food was very, very good. So was the service. Great chef, all is very tasty. And, get excited about an amazing breakfast. A beautiful buffet and hot fresh prepared dishes to order from. Location is convenient short walk to the town shopping. We will definitely stay here again.
