Don’t recommend

Receptionist was a very friendly and helpful. Room was very small. No hotel parking so we were able through hotel to pay for street parking.there were gnats on shower ceiling. There was only shower gel and a small hand soap. The best part of stay was there was a tea kettle and plenty of tea. The harbor, shopping and restaurants are approximately 15 minute walk.

Time has run its due

It was clean and very nice service. But time has indeed run its course. Very small rooms and the pub has been closed for 3 years. With all that said it is value for money unless it is warm cause then you will be cooked.

Clean and tidy room, quiet location and very helpful staff
Jeremy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We stayed two nights at Duke of Buckingham. We found the top floor rooms very small and very challenging to transport our luggage up the many steep steps and stairways. We are two couples travelling for 5-6 weeks so have a case each. We knew there were no meals onsite. Several restaurants within easy walking distance, and a large multi food option shopping centre a good walk away. Beds were very ordinary. Pillows need to be replaced as truly unacceptable. Linen appeared fresh along with towels. Rooms did look like there had been some refurbishment, but it was still in need of some new furnishings. Parking was for a fee to have use of a permit to park on the street. We found the lack of access to parking to unload close to hotel very challenging but did appreciate the ability to have a park within a couple of streets of the venue.
Neelika, 1-night trip

Basic room

A very average stay. Room is in an annexe behind the main hotel. Ground floor. Very noisy floorboards above. Room was small and a bit grubby. Ants in the kettle so didn’t bother with a cup of tea. Shower overflowed if used for more than a few minutes. Staff were charming. Pretty cheap for the area.

Nice location next to the Cathedral

A fairly basic hotel in a nice location next to the Cathedral. Easy walk to the sea front, town centre and Gun Wharf Keys It was perfect for what I was after. Good value too
