Acceptable Stay. Some Disappointments
great locationtower fanwarm room
The location was great, being very close to many attractions.
The room lacked air conditioning and only had a small tower fan. It was a very warm night, and the inability to open any windows made it hard to sleep. I found this very disappointing, especially considering the price.

interesting historycleanliness issuesdated decor
the building's history as a former prison is interesting.
the room felt dated , with cleanliness issues like someone else's contact lenses left on a side table , and a dirty bathroom. the price of £369 did not match the basic , unluxurious room. it really didn't meet expectations in anyway.
