The RMH is a former sailers club turned into a hotel. It has an extensive library of books about sailing and the British Navy. If yiure a fan if British Naval history, you could spend hours there. We also found the restaurant to be excellent and ate our evening meal there twice. Menu selection was excellent, reasonably priced and food was good. Staff were very friendky and helpful especially Lucy at the front desk and Arpranna in the restaurant

Clean but dared

Just an overnight stay after docking from the ferry late at night. Hotel receptionist extremely friendly and helpful. Room clean but quite dated as seems to be the rest of the hotel. Breakfast quite good especially if you like a full English. Parking could possibly be an issue, very limited free hotel parking and pay parking on the street limited. Overall fine for an overnight clean and tidy but definitely not luxury but for the price ok.

Nice hotel. Dated in a nice way, displays the history of the property well. Room was updated but basic. Water temperature in the bathroom would fluctuate while showering or using the taps in the sink. Staff was friendly. Breakfast included was prepared well and delicious. Good at the price and just around the corner from the Historic Dockyard entry and the train station, buses as well. Big shopping centre a few blocks away. Got everything.
