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.

Absolutely amazing hotel, full of history, has a library full of maritime genre books and plenty of comfy areas to sit and relax.
Staff were amazing and breakfast was fabulous. Full availability on cooked and continental breakfast. Rooms were lovely and had what we needed.
Hotel is within easy walking distance of the dockyard, shopping and transport links.
Would recommend easily.
