Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The interior is very run down. The bathroom had a very squishy floor from the shower leaking … very dated. Flooring and walls are in desperate need of an update. Furniture was derelict. The hotel policy of not serving coffee is ridiculous and the attitude of the man working the continental breakfast was appaling. Also… the elevator was broken. It is a great location but not worth the $250 per night fee.

Amazing location, within 5 mins walk of all transport links. Building and entrance amazing as you arrive. There are parts that are a little tired and could do with refurb. The lift and surrounding areas being an example. Our room had creaky floors, but part of the charm of this hotel is it's character and age of the building(s). Just found it amusing and not an issue. It is exactly as it is described on their website, independent, with loads of character, therefore some anomalies and Yes the bathroon suite is avocado green!! Would definitely stay again.
