We paid £278 for a “cozy” room. They don’t tell you they also add a 5% service charge when you check out. Our room was poor to be honest. Small double bed, aircon not great and the plumbing was very old and noisy. I don’t think it represented good value for money. I can only assume the high price was to cover the heating costs particularly in the stairwells. Breakfast was excellent and the lounge was very comfortable.

The bathroom could be upgraded. i.e. walk in shower and mixer taps. I was astonished to be charged a service charge for each nights accommodation and breakfast. £86! Naturally I refused to pay. This was a first for me and I do hope it's not going to be the norm.
