The nearby shopping sights include the Albert Square, which is 400 metres away.

“This hotel stands out through its Grade II listed architecture and uniquely themed environment. The rooftop terraces and private Club Brass lounge promise exclusive experiences, although some may find the execution inconsistent with the price point. I would say its central location suits business and leisure travelers seeking a memorable, if not flawless, stay.”

The staff were friendly and helpful with directions.

The safe in my Executive Room King Bed didn't work. It seemed like it had been repaired before, but it still wouldn't function when I tried to use it. I had to call reception again. (I did get a free breakfast as compensation, at least).
