Room was large, clean and airy, and the bed was comfortable. There was a continuous roar from a nearby vent - probably from the kitchen - which was OK once I'd convinced myself that I was really on a ship or train. On the first morning the staff had forgotten to note that I'd asked for a paper. Food was... More

Stayed for two nights as a base to visit historic dockyard and RE museum. A lively pub situated on the side of the Marina. Ten minutes walk from dockyard, thirty minutes walk from RE museum. Room was fairly small but comfortable. Good shower. Very good full English breakfast but our evening meal wasn't as tasty. (I had sweet and sour... More

The location is OK, very near the Historic Dockyard. Rooms are spacious enough and sympatheticly decorated. Parkingspace is available, but insufficient because it is used by all the shoppers for the Outletcenter nearby. Service wasn't really good. But the most annoying part : it was NOISY in the bar, the restaurant, on the terraces, the airco/ventilation..... More

This is a nice pub / hotel. Rooms are clean and tidy, though they do have an unusual geography with steps just inside the door making them unsuitable for disabled. I spent a comfortable night, though as someone commented, it can be quite noisy on a nice evening when there's a lot of people sitting outside. It is worth remembering... More

Only stayed one night, but would do so again without hestitation. Rooms looked like new. They were clean, fresh and comfortable. The welcome was very friendly. The food was good standard pub fare which could be eaten in the bar area or the upstairs restaurant. Although busy the service was prompt and attentive. The location was excellent for many local...

We stayed here for one night whilst we were visiting the local attractions. Please ignore reviews older than a year ago as the hotel has been refurbished since then. We had room 8 which overlooked the marina which was a bonus. Our room was pretty big and had a bath. It was clean and modern and had everything you need... More

Cycling up from Dover to London this proved to be an excellent stop over with a super restaurant and bar, large rooms and a storage room for our bikes. Maybe my bathroom would benefit from a lick of paint but my companions room had been recently done and was even better. Maybe the scrambled eggs weren't as good as how... More
