Clean room. No air conditioning but that's fine in the middle of winter in the UK. Room was facing the courtyard so was very noisy until the pub/restaurant shut

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room is clean, firm bed and fluffy pillows. We arrived early but there were rooms available so we were lucky to be able to check in early. We had two rooms on the 2nd floor facing the courtyard and it’s quiet. Noticed there was no air conditioning in the room so it can be an issue if your stay is in the summer.

Needs a freshen up… rooms are tired. No batteries in TV remote, wi fi doesn’t work at night. Bathroom door sticks Woken by housekeeping at 08.20 asking when we were checking out! Feels impersonal, breakfast is reminiscent of a school canteen!

The staff was really nice and helpfull, it's a big and busy hotel, elevators are quit small, so sometimes it's hard to get to the room. Breakfast was ok, enough choice, but not really delicious, good neighborhood, easy to get around.

Room looked like it hadn’t been refreshed in 20+ years, the TV was hanging off the wall and the bath was all cracked and showing the unfinished material underneath, people where up and down the hallway all night shouting and took 20+ minutes to check in. could have been so much better. tried to treat my girlfriend to a nice weekend in london but ended up being dissapointing for both of us and i feel to blame for it.
