“The White Swan Hotel in Alnwick offers a unique draw with its Olympic Dining Room, salvaged from the sister ship of the Titanic, though some find the overall experience inconsistent. While the hotel's location is excellent for exploring Alnwick, and some staff members are courteous, some areas of the hotel appear worn. For travellers prioritizing location and novelty, it merits consideration, but be aware that some aspects may not meet expectations given the price.”
