The room is small but everything you need, with the private bathroom

Noise from the bar outside but I expected it and slept in the earplugs so it didn't bother me at all

We loved Mr Pickwick and the views were exceptional (particularly at night)
Pros:

The location is second to none! Close to train station. Overlooking chapel bridge.

Cons:

As there is no aircon (the fans in the room did help) sheets would’ve made it more comfortable as the doona is too hot.

Excelente ubicación y excelente vista
Pros:

La ubicación. El baño era muy cómodo, buena ducha.
La vista de la habitación al río y al puente.

Cons:

No hay aire acondicionado, pero ya lo sabíamos porque es un edificio histórico. Nos dejaron 2 ventiladores de mesa que fueron de mucha utilidad.
Bastante ruidoso ya que el bar Pickwick está abajo y trabajan hasta tarde. Como hace mucho calor tenes que si o si abrir las ventanas

Don't stay in the summer period
Pros:

Location is they only good thing about it

Cons:

Fridge still had food in it. Lady that showed us to our room wasnt happy to do it. Not a good place to stay when its hot. Need a portable A/C for the rooms. Fans didnt cool us down.
