Pros: excellent historical building with loads of original features. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Cons: stayed on a Monday, and this is an expensive "experience" hotel, yet all the bars or places you could sit and have a drink as a resident inside were closed. All day long. So it cost you a fortune and all you have is your room. Felt conned to be honest, was staying as special treat for big birthday celebration and visit to my roots. Further, despite nowhere to run up "incidentals", they insist on taking £50 off you at check in. As only had contactless on phone, this means they actually charge you £50, to be refunded on exit. I objected to this, saying I would pay if used the the non existent services, but they insisted it was policy.
Overall: it's a beautiful hotel let down by super high prices in one of the country's most deprived areas (I grew up here, in the flats opposite). This place should be accessible to people, almost like a museum. Instead it is so ridiculously priced that anyone who is not rich are priced out of of it. Big shame.
