Fab location, excellent staff.
We had a comfortable, warm room overlooking quirky rooftops. The bed was a bit small for 2 but comfy & we slept well.
Breakfast was good, lovely coffee.
Friendly staff & good breakfast.
Clean room & modern bathroom, but room window obviously had not been cleaned for a long time judging by the amount of cobwebs.
Room was ready when we arrived 1hr before check in and was greeted by helpful staff.
Hotel is very old and I love the charm it gives.
Our room was a nice size with a nice view of the town.
We didn’t park at hotel , preferred to use the Frankwell carpark and only £6
Breakfast was fantastic with a great choice.
I also liked the choice of times for breakfast anytime between 8:30 and 10:30.
Very central to everything and would definitely stay here again!
Great location and our room had a balcony with loungers and a table which was a lovely surprise. But the best thing about the hotel was the staff who were so welcoming and knowledgeable about the hotel and local area. Although the cooked breakfast was also fantastic.
Prince Rupert - rustic, central, fab bathroom, twin room, lovely staff, good breakfast .
Second floor room slightly suffered from VERY creaky floorboards above - nothing which could be avoided as it is such an old hotel.
Staff very helpful in instructing us how to drive to the property to pick up luggage at the end of the stay .

Good room - excellent bathroom- very good breakfast
The Prince Rupert is centrally located on Butchers Row - lovely shops and pubs close by as well as the Cop and the English Bridge and the Dingle. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially front desk staff and our wonderful server at breakfast. She didn’t miss a beat and we enjoyed her. We requested an upgrade and our Queen Charlotte room was beautiful.
Strongly suggest mini fridges in the rooms.
Cosy, sumptuous room, courteous staff and an excellent breakfast.

Liked: Staff & service
We loved our stay and will return but the housekeeping in the rooms needs to improve (barely acceptable), the bed linen is beautiful though. The setting and the rest of the hotel makes it worth it though!
