It’s a historic property and there is nothing not to like with its sensitive refurbishments.

Central location with excellent car parking arrangements

Nothing

Room was comfy with good ensuite. Breakfast was hot and cold buffet served in a room which was timbered from the smoking room of the ocean liner Olympic. Really nice place to eat your breakfast. The hotel is on the main road and about 100 yards from Alnwick gardens and a short walk from Alnwick Castle.

I requested a quiet room due to recovering from cancer surgery. The room given was at the front of hotel. Sound of traffic and passers by affected sleep.

Fantastic location. 5 mins walk to to the castle gates on side and right on the high street the other side.

No lifts, no one offered to assist. Not the best breakfast as overcooked bacon but undercooked eggs . Dangerous hot lamps over the food with no warnings. Had to remind the staff to make the beds as left for two days. Not acceptable for the price being charged.

The history and ambience of an old hotel. Loved the bar area but no bar food served after 6.00pm which is odd for a hotel .

Breakfast was not as good as when I have stayed there previously

Very comfortable room, staff were great, location couldn't be better

We went for a drink in the bar on the last evening. The girl started cleaning floors etc while we were still sitting there which made us feel a little uncomfortable and we felt we couldn’t order another drink. It was only 7.45

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The location couldn’t have been better. Our room had everything we needed

Some breakfast items looked rather tired (e.g. pastries). No elevator available. No in-room coat hooks! (Like many hotels!).

Provided helpful local info on arrival. Car parking on site available. Central in town location. Good walk-in shower. Wifi worked well. Close to historic castle.

Breakfast excellent as was service and friendliness. Central location plus parking.

The most appalling breakfast service. Grumpy, unhelpful staff, who treated guests as if they were a nuisance. Not a smile to be seen. Pretty awful breakfast, too. The coffee was like dishwater. The pastries ran out. Overall, the worst breakfast service I have experienced in more than 50 years of travel.

Good, clean (if slightly dated) accomodation. Great location in walking distance of the castle and the (wonderful) gardens. Excellent reception staff.

Staff were pleasant enough but not exceptional. E.g at breakfast only 3 tables taken and when asked if we could sit at a different table to the one allocated it was a big issue. A smile can go a long way. Did eventually let us sit at a different table. Nobody else arrived so just what was the issue. Wine wasn't opened and poured at evening meal and told didn't have liqueur we ordered, I haven't heard of that were the waitresses words. Later, when in the bar they had the liqueur. Room was supposed to be superior but was a bit tired, with no pictures on walls, a very drafty window, we had to put towels at the window to stop the draft. Furniture tired and old, we had to ask for toilet rolls as not left. All this said, we probably would stay again.

We went due to the staircase and restaurant salvaged from the Olympic. This was excellent, although the hotel could make so much more of this.

Lots of noisy work going on to refurb rooms so no afternoon nap. No bedside plug on one side of the bed

Location great. Restaurant great for breakfast. Staff really friendly. Convenient car parking

The heating in the room was either on or off so it was either too hot or cold.

The location was excellent, the breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was showing it's age but it was still comfortable and it was clean clean.

There wasn't anything we didn't like, but we felt the bathrooms let the rooms down, they needed a little TLC. Water was hot and towels nice The breakfast was very good, although there wasn't any menu's on the tables, we asked about the dishes we had seen on the website menu and the staff were happy to order these for us and they were very good. I'm not sure why they weren't promoting the other dishes. Full English breakfast was self service, tea,coffee and toast was served. We were also given a time slot for our breakfast, which we thought was strange. Luckily, we hadn't booked time slots for venues we wanted to see.

The location was great, and so was the breakfast. Very near to the Castle and the Restaurants, bars and high street.

Overall there was not anything that I did not like. Though my room was quite a distance from the reception area with a number of stairs to negotiate.

The location is ideal for the majority of attractions in Alnwick. Very central with a good car park.

Location is amazing I’ve seen a few reviews where people are moaning about it needing updating etc for the price it’s absolutely amazing can’t complain breakfast was also lovely staff are super friendly

No much at this price point. Not a problem for us personally, but there is no lift, so those with limited mobility may find this an issue. And this sounds very nitpicking, but attention to detail counts. the breakfast's selections is very good and great quality, but we did have two issues. ordered scrambled eggs on toast (not buffet, cooked from the kitchen) and they were pale, grey and seemd to be reheated microwaved eggs, which were inedible. And the borwn sauce is a cheap tasteless version in individual "brown sauce" packets. Come on the White Swan, invest in some HP!

Romm was adequateley equipped, clean and comfortable. The place itself has a grandeose authentic feel, with some nice moden upgrades. teh location could not be better. Loads to see by foot, great bus links to nearby locations and a car park, so all travel options covered.

Very poor menu choice for vegetarians. Room was tired and we resorted to buying our own loo paper as it was such poor quality in the room.

Staff were lovely.

Didn’t find out till after breakfast that I could have had a choice of having eggs cooked an alternative was to the fried ones out

Location was great, very central to everything we needed
