Very friendly, helpful staff, good size room and an excellent breakfast. Our room was at the front of the hotel & there was a lot of noise late at night/early hours of the morning, we appreciate it was a Saturday but when you are travelling you do need a good night's sleep - not the hotels fault but it did affect our stay.

Grand old building , room clean and tidy , excellent night’s sleep . Breakfast good loved the timed sit down . Significant problem in that to ensure right mix of tables, all through the meal tables were being dismantled rolled out to a storage room and others replaced and set . A bit like breakfast whilst refurbishment on going .

Really nice welcome at check in. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff and service in the bar, casual dining and at breakfast were all good. Lovely food in the casual dining area. The only things we could fault were a loose toilet seat and the flush was difficult to use. The bathroom window didn’t open so everything in there was wet with steam the whole time

Step back in time with a titanic dining experience
Nice hotel in good location. Superb dining room with the famous historic panelling making it feel very special. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Room was fine and showed some signs of needed a refurb but didn’t detract from our stay. Set menu was a little limiting but good.

Staff very helpful. Lounge area very nicely decorated.Overall an impressive interior with great dining hall. Unfortunately menu didn't reflect the quality of the building.Food fairly pedestrian. At breakfast no indication that fish( ie haddock smoked salmon ) available other than the usual English breakfast.Would have been good to have this choice at the start!!
