Overpriced.

All the staff were lovely but the room was unremarkable, dated and worn looking. I’d consider it greatly overpriced. The cooked breakfast was very limited for a vegetarian. I had only beans, mushrooms and tomato because all other options were meat! Good location in the town centre though.

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.

A good enough stay

We stayed here en-route back from Scotland to Essex, primarily because we knew the S.S. Olympic First Class Lounge was here & we would be having breakfast in there! A unique experience it was. Good breakfast, too. The room itself was on the first floor & overlooked shops/pubs. Was a bit noisy with traffic up to a certain time & we heard a commotion coming from outside a pub. No air conditioning - we were there in a heatwave. Small double bed. It was OK, but nothing special. Alnwick itself is a lovely market town.

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

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!!

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.

The hotel is well placed in the middle of Alnwick. However when we entered our room it was 'tired' . The double bed had passed it's sell by date and was extremely lump. The double duvet was within a super king sized duvet cover and wasn't as warm as we had hoped. The vanity table where the kettle stood has had a lot of water damage and the TV was set on a chest of drawers right in front of the mirror. The bathroom floor was not good with a lot of dirt and hair that was not ours, so we cleaned that with some damp toilet paper. Anyone staying in room 126 will notice immediately that the bottom of the bath was rusty and the shower control very stiff. We each had a shower on arrival as we were at a reception at Alnwick Gardens and after my wife had a shower the folllowing morning the soap dispenser had run out. We really should have stayed at the Premier Inn out of town!!! Breakfast was all cooked on heater trays and all that was out was apparently all there was and it had sat there some time. No staff on duty when we left to discuss issues with so left key at reception. A poor experience which will not be repeated.

Disappointing

Communal areas were very good but our room was in desperate need of updating. Stains on the ceiling and paper patched up on ceiling. Hidden charges if you eat or drink in the hotel which should be pointed out when paying for drinks or food. Hotel is in a perfect location for exploring the area around.
