What find stunning hotel , great location , attentive staff . Highlights breakfast in bed at a time to suit , breakfast not to everyone’s taste but I loved it . Free Prosecco and nibbles between 5-7 . Late night cookies and milk . Free coffee tea 24 hrs and large water bottles in your room . Room hairdryer straighteners lovely toiletries.. think only thing missing would be a wee biscuit in your room to go with your tea. The bed was so comfortable.Some great recommendations listed in the room which we visited a few , Mala and a jazz club .. will definitely stay again .

Lovely restored building, very quirky. Lacks storage space but if you’re only there for 1 or 2 nights this is unlikely to be an issue. Extremely comfortable beds. We experienced some outside noise very early in the morning (shouting & smashing bottles) but this wouldn’t deter me from booking again, we really enjoyed our stay.

Great stay

Staff were super friendly and the hotel was close to everything. Got a complimentary glass of prosecco and nibbles which was a lovely gesture. Room was in the basement and was nice and quiet so had a good sleep. Linen and pillows good quality and toiletries smelt gorgeous.

A cracking hotel with lovely rooms, really comfortable beds and fantastic bathrooms. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and the breakfast (which is delivered to your room) was fabulous. Absolutely loved it, and will definitely be back. The only slight niggle was it is fairly noisy (very drunk loud neighbors) but there are earplugs supplied, in the room.

Stylish hotel with great touches. Staff friendly and professional. As with all hotels in this area, the sound from the streets in the evening was very loud. There was no aircon so we has to have the windows open and didn't sleep well. The standard king room was the smallest hotel room I've come acrosd. There was nowhere to put clothes apart from on top of bags or on the floor. Feel it should be described as a small room rather than standard. Some extra hooks would help with clothes. We would probably stay again but only in the winter when the windows wouldnt bask for a larger top floor room.
