Alyssa, Jul 2019
Pros (+) Breakfast was good. Downstairs was nice.
Cons (-) The rooms were old and not well maintained. The shower flooded the bathroom. Rooms were small.

Fair
Anonymous, Sept 2018
Pros (+) Great location
Cons (-) £18 for a vodka and coke and £9 per pint. What’s more all bills have a 12.5% discretionary service charge which isn’t brought to your attention. Bar staff also have poor English and are unhelpful and rude.
