We knew both from booking online and when we checked in that it would be loud Friday and Saturday night due to being right above the pub - so that was ok. It helps that we don’t go to bed before midnight and the pub music is quite loud until then. However the hotel itself is old and limited sound proofing between rooms with a door that rattles horribly when someone closes their door nearby - so it’s a loud place to stay overall. What we weren’t prepared for was the bathroom door that’s frosted glass and doesn’t seal - so if sharing a room with someone you’re not comfortable with hearing you in the bathroom this could be problematic. Additionally, the room were were in had poor window blinds that didn’t fit the windows properly so when the sun came up the room was incredibly lit up. Finally, parking is horribly limited. 10 stalls for the entire hotel and then you’re parking on the street if you aren’t lucky. Street parking is free from 5pm to 9am however so it’s not too bad. Best thing about the hotel was the front desk staff and the location to Baker street. Very easy to access Baker street and wander around. It’s not a bad hotel by any means - lots of quirks however.

We loved the staff. So very friendly. The room was small, but had a lot of charm. There were only 10 parking spots, so we were afraid to take our vehicle out of the parking spot just in case we would not have parking. They did not have an elevator which made it difficult, as we were constantly up and down throughout the day.

The hotel was clean and the front desk staff was friendly. But the smoke detector would start chirping loudly and even woke us up at 3 in the morning after they assured us it was fixed. The floors were very creaky and noisy. It was close to shopping and restaurants.
