street noise thin windows
The staff was friendly. The location was useful (it's near everything).
The noise was too much. The pub's music went on quite late. Street noise was noticeable. Thin windows did not help at all.

a mixed experience is what i get

broken hand dryer shocking toilets
the staff were super friendly and cute. the pub is fine and my room was beautiful also.
the ladies toilets were shocking saturday. no toilet roll existed in any of them. the hand dryer is broke. i've got nye tickets booked and we decided from this experience and the overall moody vibe out the back that we're not going to bother.

This is a pub hotel with a lot of character. The staff was helpful . I found them attentive. The food served in the pub downstairs was amazing, with generous portions. I appreciated the unique bathroom design in my room.
