It’s a beautiful building with so much history attached to it. Very atmospheric
We have stayed a few times and always been on higher floors but we were lower ground floor and it was really noisy as it was closer to street level

Hotel is lovely and rooms are well appointed with a really great bathroom. Very nice gym with really good equipment. Social hour was such a nice idea and we enjoyed our free drink!
Our room and one whole side of the hotel is right beside a busy train track and so we were woken early at 5.45 am as the noise of the train was so loud. I don't know anyone who could have slept through that.
