Don't drive, arrive by train and everything can be walked from here. Vibrant city centre location so can be noisy at night. Room standards vary from the amazing to the basic so worth paying more. 4* as we got a basic room night 1 but then they moved us to amazing room! Food and staff were really 5*.

Lack of a/c is a Major issue. After a few days of hot weather, the room will not cool down even after a few days of cold weather.

Building was still true to its history; room was large and well-appointed. Only downside was a lack of air circulation on warm days.

For the cost I would expect better. Breakfast mediocre. No facility to lock away luggage Shower grouting mouldy. Fan not functioning in bathroom. It was all OK but it isn’t worth £350

Not really what we expected from the photos and description. We booked a terrace room which turned out to be a room accessed downstairs through the very busy hotel pub and facing directly into the pub windows and its courtyard, with the beer terrace above the room. We were told that pub customers are asked not to use the courtyard after 9pm. We asked for a different room and staff were very good at finding us a small double room in the main building, which was OK although storage was a bit limited. If you want to leave luggage, be aware they don't store it in a secure cupboard - it's left out on view in the lobby next to the reception desk (not staffed all the time). We were told it was because it's an old building and there's no space.

Not 5* and expensive for being in a sound box.

The "Terrace" rooms are noisy during the day with bar customer's using the area immediately outside of the rooms to smoke and talk loudly in groups. This was encouraged by a separating door to the bar being deliberately kept open (using a heavy plant pot) by some staff, even though reception staff kept closing it. Overall, it was impossible to rest in afternoon with the bed just less than some 10 feet away from the noise / smoke coming from outside. With the door open, the noise from the bar was also clearly heard well into late afternoon. Whilst reception was apologetic, and on several occasions closed the door, other staff from the bar kept opening it using the plant pot and, in addition, did not attempt to enforce any of the non smoking signs on the tables. On the raising this matter in the morning on checking out, I was given some weak excuse about some other door? not working / broken for some time and that this was their normal practice!

This is a true luxury inn. The building is historic, but updated with modern convenience and beautiful finishes. Very nice restsurant and bar, but walkable to dozens of other venues.

Great hotel, noisy area at times.

Excellent hotel, great rooms and food. Shame the kicking out time for the pub opposite was soo noisy though. Woke up at 1, 2 and 3am to shouting and fighting.

The positives first. A great central location. Easy walk from the train station. Staff was great. The beds/bedding were very comfortable. Super soft robes and a lighted vanity were great perks. The only negative was the room location. We were in 18 which faced the street (jackhammering going on until 9:30pm). This is obviously not the hotels fault. However, this room is next to the staff room, an office and an exterior door. Every time one of those doors was open/closed/slammed it rattled our door/room. On the Tuesday after Easter, the staff was in and out of those doors no less than 30 times between 6am-7:30am. Unfortunately, no sleeping in that morning. The doors opened significantly less the following morning so it was better but still disruptive. Also, the kitchen is on the other side of the room, so you also had the noise of the carts bringing supplies to it. I understand it’s an old building and noises will be heard, but truly the staff should be more mindful to be quiet when going in and out of the staff/office rooms and the exterior door.
