Really like beautiful old buildings with modern interior design like this one. Everything was pretty good. Mattress was comfy. Pub food was good too. Cleaning could be improved (eg exterior windows & windowsills need a good clean) and AC in rooms needs to run to ensure the hallways & rooms stay must free.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Always a comfy and convenient stay. Only feedback is the bathroom glass shelf above basin makes it difficult to wash face/rinse mouth etc and choice of tap makes it easy to splash water on floor.
