Ideally located historic hotel

Interesting old hotel steeped in naval history with HMS Victory nearby. It was a meeting point for MI 6 and the KGB. The decor is beautiful and the staff friendly. Serves British and sushi food. Useful free car park.

Great hotel beside the Navy museum

Friendly relaxed staff. The hotel is in a great location for visiting the navy museum and docks. On site parking is a plus too. The Japanese restaurant is great as is the full english breakfast.

A very good stay. Efficient and friendly check in plus a room upgrade. Room and bathroom very clean, very comfortable bed. On site parking was a bonus as it was first come, first serve. Great location for historic dockyards and Gun Wharf key. All the staff I saw were friendly and very helpful.

This was a clean and convenient hotel with excellent front desk help. You can't beat it for us close proximity to the IOW ferry, train and busses. I will stay here again on my next trip to the Isle of Wight.
