Andrea

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our room was quirky, quiet and comfortable, and service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. Being greeted by Bagheera the cat was a bonus! There are countless restaurants nearby for dinner and our room service breakfast including Brick Lane bagels was incredible! The two honesty bars in the lounges were also well stocked and a nice touch. One small thing - the bathroom it our room was very much designed for style over function. The shower was difficult to get to the right temperature and left the bathroom floor covered with water. Overall we had a brilliant stay.

walls were thin, windows were old and not sound proof. It wasn't a modern comortable hotel, which I expected for £429 for the night. No shower. Only a bath

What a beautiful and friendly hotel tucked away in the corner of Farringdon. Quirky and beautiful in equal measure. It felt like an oasis of calm.

Not great, weird plumbing

This joint needs maintenance. Plumbing is from Victorian era. Pipes gurgling all night. WC water flush is so extreme it comes out the bowl & onto the seat and floor. Gross. Dirty carpet. We were expecting old fashioned not defunct.
