Well-connected to many sights, the accommodation is a few moments from Quay bus stop.
Each of the 18 rooms is equipped with an iron as well as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. They also have private bathrooms. Bathrooms come with a separate toilet and a shower, along with a hairdryer and free toiletries.
A full English breakfast can be enjoyed at the Samuel Pepys. The onsite restaurant offers British dishes. Guests can dine at The Pier Restaurant, serving European dishes, or at The Pier Hotel, located only 100 metres away.
Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at Samuel Pepys, I experienced a mix of culinary delights and overlooked details. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a generous spread that included a delightful range of fresh fruits, a rarity in many establishments. The made-to-order cooked options complemented the continental selections well. My mornings were slightly marred by poor coffee choices, with only Nescafe available, lacking the richness I cherish. Despite the room's ample size, February's heat made it uncomfortable as the radiator seemed unmanageable. The ambiance of the bar and dining area was inviting, ideally situated just a short walk from the picturesque harbor. While the location is quiet and convenient for a ferry connection, the nuances of culinary experience invite further attention. Samuel Pepys has promise with its offerings but leaves some areas for improvement.
