Lovely and friendly staff upon check in. Very helpful too and showed me around all of the facilities. Original room was lovely and cosy. However there was an issue with the loo so i was upgraded to a different room, which was just exceptional. And a free breakfast for inconvenience! Amazing hospitality.
Nothing I could fault really. Maybe a small kettle in the original room would have been nice for tea-loving drinkers.

Very convenient for The Barbican. Feels like you’re staying in a 19th century hotel with better facilities! Delicious breakfast.
No lift- not an issue for us but might have been if more luggage. The room, Jack Shepherd, didn’t have a shower only a bath. Bed very comfortable but high!

I don’t like the bathroom format. I prefer the shower. Also, there should be a universal adapter for the outlet of electricity provided.

Beautiful property in an excellent location. Easily accessible from Heathrow. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was served to the room but it might have been nice to have the option of a dining room.

I love the old charm with the modern amenities. It’s just beautiful and I felt like I was a guest in another era. The bed was just amazing.. I slept like a kitten,. The food is amazing and the presentation stunning. Location is perfect for my needs. Staff are friendly and helpful.
You have to plan accordingly if you would like a dinner ( as it can take up to 1 1/2 hours, but worth the wait. I love the fact that they have 2 small bars which are based on the customer filling out their bar book as to what they imbibed. A rare occurrence in today’s world. It may be difficult for someone with mobility issues to climb the stairs to their room.

Comfort of bed , close to tube station
Was told by front desk that we were upgraded but it didn't feel like it. Placed facing street which was noisy. Bathroom fixture are not user friendly. Emphesis on upsell with little to no extras( ie no coffee in reception).
