Comfortable clean room, quiet despite being above a pub. Excellent location. There is no lift just stairs (to the 3 floor in my case)... but this was not an issue for us.

The only reason this isn’t a 1-star is because the pub and location are great, and most of the staff are helpful and friendly. The room we were assigned was shabby and dated, not cleaned well throughout our stay, was very noisy—hand dryer from the public loo downstairs, flushes from the room upstairs, daily 3:00 AM rubbish collection, anytime some passed our room in the hall, and then the usual hotel/pub stay of noisy visitors but that’s kind of expected. What wasn’t expected were the cockroaches we saw in our bathroom a few times. When we brought this up to one of the staff and pointed out we were in a queen bed rather than the Premium King room we had booked, we were told that the bed was a king (it wasn’t, we measured) and that they would have the cleaners work on the “roommate” situation. They were unable to move us to a different room, and the accomadtion team just seemed

This is a beautiful old building and the room is absolutely beautiful. The shutters don’t block out all the light and the windows are as old as the building so the street noise comes through BUT the neighborhood is quiet. The bar and restaurant are very good and highly convenient.

We really enjoyed our short stay in this historic hotel. The room was very comfortable. We knew there was not an elevator and requested a low er floor which the hotel honored. We were on the second floor, third floor by American standards. An employee took our bags upstairs for us but we had an early morning flight and had to leave the hotel by 4:15 AM which meant we had to navigate Our luggage down the stairs. You just need to be aware of this. We had dinner in the pub and it was good. The pub is a very popular place and is very busy so make a reservation if you plan to eat there.

Interesting little heritage place. Room was bigger and more modern than expected. Staff, especially in the pub weren't overly friendly and seemed much more comfortable with locals than tourists. Super close to the Ricks, Skytower etc. No elevator so beware if you have accessibility issues.
