Excellent stay, great staff, super ambience

Staff - really friendly and helpful. Breakfast - first class, beautifully served in fantastic and well maintained surroundings. Parking - just fine. Trivial minor problems which doubtless would have been fixed if we'd stayed more than one night - door lock floppy, one bedside light not working as hadn't been plugged in under the (immovable) bed, which was, incidentally, extremely comfortable. The dining room, with related photos in the corridors, was truly memorable.

Motorcycle Tourists - Northumberland 250

On arrival, the reception staff could not have been more helpful, having kept suitable parking reserved for our expensive motorcycles. Booking in was warm, friendly and efficient. The hotel was cold. We wore our Coats in the dining room for evening meal and breakfast. My mattress had a sink in the middle and bowed to the middle. I didn't sleep well - which is why we were there, to sleep. 5 of us wee on a motorcycle touring holiday and we needed good sleep in order to ride the following day. The bathroom had a musty smell from under neath the floor. The staff were great, gentle, good humoured and very customer focussed. The public area were very well decorated, were clean and spacious.

Small attic room, hot with little airflow, needed a fan. Room and bathroom good sizes, overlooking the front high street so some noise overnight. Free parking onsite and in two public car parks at the rear of the hotel. Breakfast in the Olympic suite was good and plentiful in a very grand setting!!

1st class all the way

We stayed for our Anniversary trip and I booked the Olympic suite restaurant and wasn’t disappointed, fabulous food, wonderful attentive staff who couldn’t do enough for us , room was fantastic comfortable beds and pillows , bed was enormous, we had a bath and shower and tea making facilities, everything was within walking distance, lovely few days would certainly go back and a great choice , my only negative was parking which can spoil your experience and made arrival for us very stressful

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
