Very comfy, quieter than expected, handy for trains/trams and easy late night access.
Pros:

Lovely comfortable bed and very nice shower. Right opposite station and trams and easy after hours access so perfect for my trip to CoOp Live arena for the BRITs. Old building on busy street but secondary glazing was amazing. Once closed could barely hear a thing. Nice bread for toast with jam and marmalade and good choice of cereals and fruit. Only there one night so couldn't speak to the area or the pub but my stay was great.

Cons:

Quite a few stairs but I was expecting that anyway as it is above an old pub. Glad I had my eye mask for sleeping as the green emergency light is right above the bed.

Great Stay
Pros:

The staff are lovely and the location is fantastic. The pub is great too. Literally opposite Piccadilly Station. The breakfast is a also a nice touch.

Cons:

It's just the bathroom that let's it down. Needs a really good clean and maybe an upgrade. Wouldn't stop me staying again, as we normally only stay one night.

Non come credevo.. le 4 stelle non ci sono
Pros:

La posizione centralissima
Lo staff disponibile

Cons:

Avevo prenotato un 4 stelle attratta anche dalle buone recensioni invece: sono 5 stanza sopra un pub, la struttura ha l'indispensabile non hanno mai fatto le pulizie in 3 giorni e la colazione era molto povera
