Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mixed experience with excellent rooms but some service issues and a lively location. The rooms, though overlooking a rooftop, were well-furnished with a super-comfortable bed and ample pillows, providing everything we needed. However, the service, while welcoming initially, had some dramatic and unwelcoming moments, especially with the bar staff. The location, while enjoyable for some, was likened to a lively nightclub in the early evening, with pricing that may not suit everyone's budget.
Returning to our room around 10 pm after an evening out, we were met with loud thumping music that continued well into the early morning. From our window, we could see flashing lights and balloons across the street, indicating a party was in full swing. Not the ideal atmosphere to relax in. Despite being at the higher end of the price range, the room was a gamble that paid off. Although it lacked natural light as it looked onto another building, being a heritage room meant it was not cheap. The room decor, while fitting and decorated in a period style, was not to my taste, feeling quite dark.
The hotel room was absolutely stunning, even better than the photos depicted. It was impeccably clean with an excellent attention to detail, despite being a 'cozy' room and not a pricier suite. The bathroom amenities were a lovely touch, making the stay even more enjoyable. However, there was an attempt to add unexpected service charges to the bill, which was a bit of a downside.
The hotel's room, fitted and decorated in a charming 1940s style, was beautiful and had everything we could possibly want, with fabulous extras and plenty of retro flair. The service was a bit light and took a few extra times to resolve issues, but room service and other amenities were available. The location, near train stations and the West End, was very convenient despite some challenges reaching the hotel. The dining experience was good but not exceptional, with Chinese food on offer. Overall, a stylish and cozy hotel with some minor drawbacks.
Returning to my room on a Saturday was a delight - a well-furnished space with an incredibly comfortable bed adorned with more pillows than I own at home. I was impressed by the soundproofing, which shielded me from the noise and excitement, and the spaciousness was a nice touch. As a bonus, the bathroom toiletries from Cowshed were a refreshing touch.
The hotel had a real wow factor in the rooms, and I loved the way the main entrance still had the banking hall feel. It was really lovely overall, though the access through the service stairs was a bit inconvenient, and once we left, we couldn't get back into the building. Despite this, it didn't feel like the price at all.
