Great location and enjoyed the architectural value of the building. Our group were all architects
Pros:

One of the reasons I booked this hotel was for the breakfast facility. Sadly no breakfasts were available on the weekend!! I recommended my friends to all stay there and this was rather disappointing.

Cons:

The ability to be served drinks and food on Saturday night....you were fully booked which is great for the hotel ....I should have booked this.

Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff.
The location was great close to the Strand and sea wall.
Our dinner at the restaurant was really good.
The room well appointed, nice size and comfortable.

Cons:

They don't offer breakfast on the weekends, and we didn't know about it. Instead, they offered to go to a sister coffee shop, 10 minutes walk. Free coffee but the options for breakfast were poor. Quality very bad.
