The room was huge with 2 double beds. Bathroom spacious and clean. However, the people upstairs, really? All blooming night, up down up down and headboard banging type noise. In the end, I shouted up, "Will you just finish your shag so we can sleep"

We did not have breakfast. The accommodation is old but it was comfortable. We just needed a place to stay to get on the Queen Mary II, so it was great for the one night.

This is a great old hotel. We love older establishments for their richness in history. We don’t prefer cookie cutter hotels as much, at all. This is a charming place to stay. The staff was great but, Ceesay and Nwamme were especially kind and helpful. They’re both certainly an asset to the hotel. D
