Lovely hotel, poor location
The hotel is lovely and the food good, however it is very noisy at night. There is a pub/disco right across the road which kept us up half the night. Not suitable for families at weekend. The stairs to the room are very steep and narrow so difficult to manage with bags.

We only stayed one night at Black Friars and wished we had more. The room was cosy and clean and the bed was super comfortable. The staff was very personable and helpful. This was one of our favorite stays of our trip.

We left a pillow in our initial stay but contacted them and they held it for me until we returned which we appreciated. Really good bar and restaurant downstairs and friendly staff. We were able to keep our luggage with them after checkout before leaving for train station. Very accommodating.
