8/10
Had a really nice stay at the hotel. The building and rooms are amazing. We ate at both restaurants downstairs and both were very nice (although the Patio was particularly good and our waiter super friendly/helpful with the menu and recommendations for wine etc).
It is noisy though. Don’t book without accepting this. The restaurants aren’t busy too late (10-11pm) but you can hear the courtyard pretty clearly in the room, and there’s outdoor seating for the Ramen place underneath the windows to the room.
At the weekends you’ll get people down on the street level until pretty late (mostly no cars though which is good).
If you have a car - be prepared to drive in circles looking for parking on the street or walk 5-10 mins to an open air car park (we did street parking as read some bad reviews of the car parks & never had to walk longer than ten mins back to the hotel). On check out day we just drove right outside to pick up our bags as all the businesses had deliveries arriving anyway - just be careful as there can be a lot of pedestrians!
Final tip - our keys were under the mat once we’d gotten upstairs. You only need the code to get into the stairs/lift and the same code isn’t for the key box outside the room. Took us ten mins to realise this!
Highly recommend the cafe “We the North” about 5 mins walk away for amazing coffee.
