2/10 Poor

Not great, weird plumbing

This joint needs maintenance. Plumbing is from Victorian era. Pipes gurgling all night. WC water flush is so extreme it comes out the bowl & onto the seat and floor. Gross. Dirty carpet. We were expecting old fashioned not defunct.

Katherine, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good stay

The hotel is comfortable and located nicely near Farringdon station and some fun shops. It is historic and probably more suited for leisure travel than my business trip. Regardless, I was very impressed with the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff.
