“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.”

The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was a real treat to have proper toast brought to the table instead of using those toast machines. The private car park on site was SO convenient.
The bedroom needed a little care.

the dining room possessed historical charm, which i found acceptable.
the bathroom was not satisfactory. i encountered significant rust on the bath (it was covered with a non-slip mat). the ventilation was poor and the smoke alarms were very sensitive. the loud noise outside from pub patrons late at night disturbed my sleep.
