quiet partrunning trailsbird watchingcrane viewfilthy topbig wardrobe
The location is very nice. It is convenient to many activities and tucked away in a quiet part of the street just off the main area. A short walk takes you to st james park. There are excellent running trails and very nice bird watching.
The room faced the back and inwards. The main view was of a crane. I found it quite uninspiring. The wardrobe was too big and filthy up top. I considered putting my bag up there but changed my mind after seeing all the dirt and dust.

The afternoon tea experience in The Rose Lounge was great for my husband and me. The food tasted fresh and the presentation was creative. The staff took great care of us! They catered to all our needs.
The team at the entrance was rude. I was waiting to meet my business partner. They kept asking me to move away and looked at me with arrogance!

The room surprised me with two tvs, a lovely unexpected feature. i adored the rustic makeup table, such a charming touch. the provided amenities were also good. the service was wonderful. I'll suggest this hotel to my friends for their future stays.
The ventilation in the bathroom made a constant noise. It slightly disrupted an otherwise peaceful stay.
