the location proved convenient. i loved the complimentary drink offered in exchange for opting out of housekeeping, a ingenious idea. the cocktails were amazing!!!

the soundproofing in the room was not effective. i could clearly hear noises from both the adjacent room and the pub across the street. it was quite disruptive.

This hotel has a very nice design, which drew me here. My Loft Room was spacious with a balcony. I found it bright and clean. The coffee station is on the landing. I knew this before and it was not a problem at all. The staff were very friendly.

Breakfast has limited hot food options, and getting drinks took too long.

Drinks menu is extensive, I recommend the Tiramisu Martini. There is a small food menu. I had a meat and cheese board for lunch. There are many bars and restaurants close by.

The check-in was super smooth and quick! the staff was so friendly and helpful. They really were really good. i was able to check in way earlier than expected at 10 am! the cleaning crew was also super efficient, and they even showed me how to use the room speakers. It was awesome!

I found that there were very few surfaces in the room to put my things on. It was a little inconvenient

the location is fantastic. it is minutes from the station, and lower marsh street has great eating and drinking places. the hotel is quirky and friendly. i had a second stay here, and i will definitely come back.

I had quite a bad sleep AS lighting was on all night. I could not turn it off at the switch. i then complained to a bar man, and he tried to fix the issue, BUT he couldn't do anything for us. THIS obviously wasn't ideal because it's very hard to sleep WITH the room being lit up.
