street noise dated room
The room faced the street, and I noticed AWFUL street noise late into the night. It MADE sleeping difficult. There was loud music from nearby bars. The room also felt a bit dated. It needed some refurbishment, ESPECIALLY in the bathroom.

charming tavern experience

cute staff vibrant location delicious options attentive service
I found the staff cute. Bridget and the team were so cheerful. the location felt quite vibrant, especially with the many eateries and bars nearby. breakfast impressed me. It included delicious options such as eggs benedict and lattes. SERVICE felt prompt and attentive.
I did find the street noise somewhat disruptive. a pub across the street generated considerable noise late into the night. Earplugs helped, but SOME additional soundproofing would enhance comfort.

The superior king room provided ample space and included pleasant decor. It felt very boutique. i found the bed comfortable, with quality linens that added to the room's appeal. every detail contributed to a charming atmosphere.

dodgy entrance steep stairs
the room included little extras such as a fridge, fresh milk, teapot, tissues, selection of hot drinks and an iron.
This was one of the worst experiences i ever had staying in a hotel. the entrance to the rooms from inside the bar was dodgy and dark. the stairs were horrific and steep. I have mobility issues and it was hard to get around

i loved the attention to detail! the rooms included complimentary water. coffee, tea, and treats were also there. the staff helped with luggage, given there isn't a lift in this vintage building. breakfast was amazing and featured a beautiful buffet with hot, freshly prepared dishes made to order.
I found that street noise was quite noticeable late into the evening. It was not ideal but it was bearable.
