I would like to stay here again, excellent location and the old world charm is irresistible
Pros:

The location is excellent and the heritage building is beautiful. The old world charm of this hotel stood out for me. It has all modern facilities yet you feel like you are in a different era as soon as you see the staircase

Cons:

Kitchen staff could be better trained, thats the only feedback I have. The breakfast could be managed better, we had few slips in our orders

Good but could have been better without the noise disturbance at night.
Pros:

Excellent location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

Noise from the hotel’s own night club and bar can make it impossible to sleep at night. Ask for a room as far away from the noise as possible.

A good option
Pros:

I liked the location, easy walk to Park Street. Nice little bar and breakfast was reasonable. Need to be aware there is no lift, there are 81 steps to the suite on the top floor. Staff were very nice.

Cons:

Perhaps lacked a bit of atmosphere in reception. Staff got orders wrong a couple of times and presented us with the bar bill for another couple (as well as our own one) which we paid for by mistake. A expensive error which we were not happy about.

Gracious, understated colonial elegence
Pros:

Feels like a Victorian gentlemen’s club tucked away in the heart of the city. Wood paneling, wainscoting, steampunk objects. Nice terraced bar & smoking area. Excellent kebab restaurant and a mellow breakfast buffet w/ exquisite Indian Muzak.

Cons:

Wish it had a gym
