The rooms, staff (really responsive, friendly and helpful). Good room service and breakfast (and reasonably priced). We were planning to eat supper and breakfast out, but really glad we ate at the hotel
Nothing. (Got a scratch from the intense, human-faced hotel cat, but entirely my fault.)

The staff were very helpful, and the vibes were spot on based on what you would expect from the pictures. Public transport is super good as Farringdon station is nearby. 24 hour room service + self service g&t bar is great. It felt like a very authenthic experience from the past, and if this is what you're after, I think you'll love this place
For the price you would expect more extras included. The room/hotel doesn't just look old, it is old with all that entails. Our room had very bad ventilation, and the windows were very difficult to open. (1 layer modern and 1 layer old sliding window). The wardrobes were small and difficult to open. The bathtub, while beautiful, was also impractical to use as water was splashing everywhere.

The whole ambience of the hotel with the exceptional staff made me feel really safe in central London - I checked in around 1630 and needed to catch up on work - I did not leave the room until the next morning because I felt so comfortable and chilled in the facilities thank you
Nothing at all...

Very Poor
Hotel was full of historical character which is why we chose it to enjoy a little opulence as the highlight of our trip in the UK. There were beautiful public rooms to sit in which were filled with lovely antique furniture and period features. The hotel staff were very helpful.
THE NOISE AT NIGHT! Every night there was a queue of hundreds of young people waiting to enter a nightclub round the corner - our room on the 3rd floor overlooking the street heard everything! Them shouting screaming, laughing, talking and carrying on. This was incredibly loud despite our windows and shutters being closed and went on for hours late at night / early morning keeping us awake.

location is excellent for public transport around London. Beautiful room design.
Stayed at he upper floor where the ceiling was quite low. For anyone above 2m tall it would be uncomfortable. Low sound insulation between the room and hall.

Beautiful old building in excellent location with lots of character. very comfortable rooms.
Not having complementary kettle and tea/coffee in the room was a bit disappointing. With it being an old building the walls are a bit thin and you can hear guests in the neighbouring rooms.
