All in all the hotel was perfect for our needs except for the slippery tiles in the bathroom.
Pros:

THe location was excellent and the character of the hotel was good.

Cons:

The open shower in the bathroom created slippery tiles and I slipped and fell in the bath room during my stay.

An unexpected surprise
Pros:

We needed a last minute place to stay, and booked this based on check-out time and value for money. It was easy to find, right next to the Central train station and the reception area was super cool, and smelt amazing.
Staff were friendly and the room was comfortable and a good size. We were so impressed with our stay.

Cons:

the room was very dark, with no way to turn up the brightness of the lighting.

Disappointed
Pros:

The old world charm of the lobby and the generous room size

Cons:

At 11:15am I dropped our suitcase off as we were heading out to lunch.

When we arrived back at 2:45pm we said we were hear to check in we were given a glass of cold water and asked to sit and cool down they gave us our suitcase

After 10min we were still waiting to be checked in so we went to the reception desk and asked if we could please be taken to our room as I had already done an online check in the night before

When we got to our room we discovered that there streaming services were not working so we called reception to come and investigate we told them that we had booked this room so we could have our girls night of watching Bridgeton and drinking champagne

We told them that there were no slippers in the room and the light bulb in the chandelier was broken

They said sorry and this then turned into 4 more visits from staff attempting to fix the tv we did eventually get our slippers the streaming services were not available the lights were not functioning properly

It was very frustrating because we couldn’t watch our shows and it was just disappointing

The staff were not rude just didn’t understand or know how to respond communicate the truth

They offered us a complementary cocktail and kept coming to our room to try and help us

Pros:

The staff welcome and the homely art deco vibe was beautiful. I would like the room number added on my record as it was a fabulous room. Record player and 4 poster bed. Absolutely stunning bathroom. I had a fabulous sleep in that room.

Cons:

As its small, didn't offer breakfast options or different facilities on site. But that was ok.
