What People Say

Guests rave about the fantastic central location, beautiful interiors, and the luxurious spa facilities—especially the hydrotherapy pool and steam room. Many highlight the attentive staff, plush bedding, and the thoughtful in-room extras like complimentary gin and sherry decanters. Reviews also frequently mention the hotel’s charm and character, describing it as both unique and cozy.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that street noise can filter in on weekends—a trade-off for being so central. The spa also requires advance booking, so plan ahead if you're hoping to soak off concert fatigue. A few reviewers mentioned that rooms could be a bit dark depending on their location in the building.
