A Unique Stay with Minor Drawbacks
transport links convenient location friendly staff quirky interior high bar prices expensive breakfast additional fee
I appreciated the proximity to transport options. The location was beneficial because of access to various attractions. The staff were amiable and always cute (. The building itself presented a quirky interior.
The bar prices seemed quite high to me. I paid £6.50 for a large orange juice intended for a child. The breakfast was an additional £20. The room rate was already £200.
