What guests say
8.4 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 2,888 guest reviews
The Queen Mary earns consistent enthusiasm for its unmatched historical atmosphere, on-board exploration, and unbeatable convenience for cruise passengers — most guests find the novelty alone worth the premium price. However, recurring frustrations around aged, worn bathrooms, centrally controlled (often too cold) temperatures, and parking chaos caused by external events on the property temper the overall experience. Guests who prioritise character and history over modern hotel comforts will likely love it; those expecting polished, up-to-date amenities may be disappointed.
