What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 228 guest reviews
The Admiral Fitzroy Inn earns consistently strong sentiment for its unbeatable Thames Street location, genuinely warm staff, and well-kept rooms at a fair price point. The main recurring gripe is the continental-only breakfast — several guests wished for hot cooked options — and the older building's quirks (creaky hallways, pipe noise, dated furnishings) are noticeable, though rarely deal-breakers. Overall, it delivers a charming, characterful stay that leaves most guests eager to return.
