Top St. John's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Ship Leopard Hotel – No Children

10/10 Excellent

"We were lucky enough to take advantage of an offer on our 2 night stay. My partner has health issues and we were happy that there is a lift which made things a lot easier. The hotel is situated in a perfect position. Turn right from the door and there's two pubs offering food and the Historical dockyard just beyond that, everything within two mins walk. Turn right from the hotel door and another short walk will take you to a shopping centre with loads of good clothes shops and restaurants. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast which was free was very nice and the full English healthily cooked with a good choice. I can't believe we were lucky to get an offer at such a lovey hotel in a perfect location. My partner is getting ready for a serious operation and this time was the only opportunity to get away so we had the most lovely time, the hotel, staff, location, the people we met at the pubs and the dockyard we met and got to know all contributed to making a lovely memory in such a short time. One full day and two nights felt like a week in a good way and really helped my partner at this stressful time."
