Room warm and clean. Bed comfortable. Parking was ok, but could be an issue, at busy times. I have stayed here on several occasions and never disappoints. I believe value for money.

Great location and staff, clean but a bit tired

Staff excellent. Bit of free hotel parking on the front and side of the hotel but be prepared to use the side streets (£6 per night, permit from hotel reception) which was easy enough. Nice choice of drinks in the bar and reasonably priced. Had breakfast in the hotel, simple cooked breakfast (plenty of it) via buffet style self serve (cold options available), plenty of juices and tea/coffee. Big thing for this hotel is it's history (read what's on the walls and visit the library) and proximity to the sights, and the very nicely done shopping centre and eating venues on the Boulevard.

Sailors Rest

Comfortable bed, nice room. Tea and coffee readily available in the room. Clean and tidy. Staff are brilliant and helpful. Bar staff gave excellent service. Breakfast was fabulous and well cooked. All in all I had a short but enjoyable stay. All the lads of HMS Diomede had a great reunion. Thank you.
