Loved the location ,as we spent 2 days at the Royal Naval Shipyards. We could walk there easily. Plenty of places to eat close to the hotel and the lobby was a great place to socialize with our friends whom were also staying at the hotel. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was hot and plentiful. Would highly recommend
