Hidden gem

Great welcome and friendly staff. Lovely family room with stunning sea view. Characterful, slightly old fashioned with faded furniture that added to charm. Excellent food. Convenient parking. Location, location, location.

Well positioned B&B

Keppel's Head is a fantastically positioned B&B with direct access to public transit, the harbor & shops, and the Royal Naval Yard museums. Breakfast was included with our stay and was generous & serviceable, and the staff was very helpful on several occasions, even at 0300 when we needed to be let out of the car park to get to our flight.

Wonderful hotel!

Lovely service at all times. Gave us suggestions of things to do. We had to leave early so they offered a breakfast to go. It was great. Dinner at the hotel was our best meal of the trip. Exceptional!
Elaine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is near the landmarks.

This is a classic pub hotel. The location is quite near the pier and the train station and is just 5 minutes walk to the dockyard museum. The hotel room is spacious and equipped with an air conditioner. But the electric kettle is dirty having some residue at the bottom and I dare not to use it. For the breakfast, you could order only once for the main course while for the cereal, pastry, toast and coffee you could get as much as you like. I did not go to the pub as flies were the main residence of the pub.

Quirky charm

A lovely old hotel with quirky charm. Rooms were spacious although cleaning during my stay wasnt perfect. The elevator was out of service for 24 hrs which may have been problematic for less able guests. Staff was great and breakfast adequate (I found the coffee weak, but Im fussy) Overall great value for the $.

Ideally located historic hotel

Interesting old hotel steeped in naval history with HMS Victory nearby. It was a meeting point for MI 6 and the KGB. The decor is beautiful and the staff friendly. Serves British and sushi food. Useful free car park.

Handy Location and Friendly Service.

Pleasant stay. Issues at check in due to Hotels.com passing incorrect details to the hotel, so took longer to check in. Room was pleasant and clean. Bed was comfortable shower was ok but seals seemed to have gone round hose and nozzle so caused a very high pitched noise. Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant staff were really nice. Carpark is a bonus. Really close to shopping and tourist sites. Will definitely choose this hotel again.

Great hotel beside the Navy museum

Friendly relaxed staff. The hotel is in a great location for visiting the navy museum and docks. On site parking is a plus too. The Japanese restaurant is great as is the full english breakfast.
