The staff was so helpful carrying our suitcases up two floors and welcoming me with a happy birthday plate! The location is wonderful--walking distance to the university and the fringe festival. We actually returned to the Black Ivy on our last night before flying back home. The breakfasts were yummy. The park view was a nice bonus.
The first place we stayed, the junior suite, was comfortable. The smaller room we stayed in the last night was beautiful but crowded.

Location
This is the 2nd time i have stayed at the Black Ivy, first time was in 2021. This time the price was jacked to extortionate prices because of some festivals i had no interest in seeing and breakfast wasn't included. £750 for two night is a joke. The room was like a London Bedsit. There are cracks through the wall and ceiling, the windows make screeching noises when opened and closed, there is no door on the shower, the bathroom door didn't shut. Carpet between the bathroom and bedroom is lifting up and the bed wasn't great. The Insulation between the rooms on the same floor are like nothing i have experienced anywhere!! The ********* in the room next to us allowed their kids to use the shower like a waterpark and they were screaming until Midnight first night and 1am the 2nd. Unfortunately this place has lost its ability to maintain its quality. Won't go back there which is a pity, the location is excellent
