    there was a lot of stairs involved in it because there is no lift however that being that is because it’s an old building the other problem I found was when I walked in initially to check in there was only one reception staff for the reception staff phone the police was really busy and there was luggage and bags lying around everywhere I said could I leave my bag? She said it was Louis Vuitton brief she said just leave it there in full view of everybody could’ve walked in and just taken It, so I double back and eventually got a receipt offer but the whole experience of the initial check and just happened. Happy to leave my bag lying for any Tom Dicker Harrie to pick it up. I thought was very very poor so you really need to sort out the reception staff when you walk in on that particular branch.

    I’ve stayed in that group many times the hotels are all slightly quirky and unusual buildings so that was good

    Was given the choice of ground floor (but noisy) or third floor (but lots of steps which is fine) so opted for quiet room. However, room on top floor was hot even with air con, noisy pigeons and low ceilings. Bathroom was clean but in need of maintenance.

    Interesting maze of a building. Lovely bar! Comfy bed, I’m sure some of the other rooms were amazing.

    While the beds and linen were good quality, one bed has clearly been used a lot more and was sagging and quite uncomfortable. Airconditioning had very little effect on cooling the room (we know the seasons and weather have been changeable lately).

    Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful with all interactions and they room upgrade was appreciated. Bathroom was lovely and spacious with good quality products.

    For dinner in evening we were placed beside a loud group at the next table, yet rest of tables empty. Didn't understand that. I didn't like the constant loud rattling noise of trolleys being brought out in prep for breakfast while we were eating our dinner. I thought this was tasteless, especially as it was only about 9pm, different if we'd overstayed until after closing time. I didn't know if this was routine or for staff convenience because we were the only people left in the bistro at that time.

    Lovely room, large and nicely furnished. Comfortable bed, great bathroom with lovely toiletries. Staff very nice and friendly. Excellent location. Food and drinks very good.

    The waiting staff were pressed at dinner time and were rude when we arrived. We had a chat with them and they were fine after that. The rump steak should be called Steak frittes or minute steak!!

    Decor, they used l’occitane, the balcony. Staff were great (other than when they were super stressed at dinner) Breakfast was lush

    It was a Monday but the restaurant was rubbish. Lots of stuff off. Only One start and one main were gluten free. Some aspects of the room took the edge off what was otherwise an amazing suite, egLoose wires & Crappy glass table.

    Wish we could of checked in a little earlier but it’s the same time as most hotels anyway so can’t complain

    It is a little expensive, and breakfast -- which is very good, is on the pricier side. But again -- it is consistently good!

    I travel a lot for work, and with this hotel I feel like there are no surprises: you know you can reasonably expect to have a clean and comfortable room. I appreciate the little extras in the room, and I know that I will sleep well.

    The food , such a rip off! Very disappointed, we were so looking forward to it.... Muhammed our waiter was great but the rest of the staff were lifeless , unfriendly , and there was no atmosphere in the restaurant. People walked out as soon as they saw our food come out !

    The room was wonderful ! location great! Some staff were ok ,others not so . The shower & bath were fabulous.. gorgeous building.
