Funky hotel
The hotel is very eclectic and fun, the room was small but with a four poster bed and the shower was excellent - really powerful. It was a shame that scaffolding was up but the hotel had told us prior to us arriving and there was no noise. Location is good too. The only downside was breakfast. The buffet selection was very poor with nothing being replenished. The cooked order was good but not what we’d actually ordered. We didn’t flag it and just ate what arrived as it had taken a while. So to sum up, a small boutique hotel with funky furnishings in a good location, just breakfast that we felt was below par.

Lovely boutique hotel
Lovely little boutique hotel in a good location. Not cheap but definitely felt quite special - so worth it for a special occasion. Service was great and would recommend a cocktail or two in the bar.

Great stay fir a city event
Great one night. Easy walk to an event in St Paul’s. Really quirky and interesting hotel. Dickensian lighting would annoy my wife.

Loved The Townhouse. Our room was cosy and the bed extremely comfortable. The bath was so large and brilliant for a soak after a day’s sightseeing. The only thing that let it down was the breakfast which arrived cold! We were given it for free when we informed the staff. We would definitely stay here again.

Quirky hotel but not a great stay
Second time I stayed and second time they charged me twice. No hot water as the boiler had packed up was not great but in fairness a one off.
The breakfast can only be described as poor and limited for the money they charge.
