great charactersurprise service chargeconstant upkeep
the hotel had a great character, very unique. the location was also good for visiting hyde park.
i found a surprise on the bill, a service charge they tried to add even though breakfast was included. the rooms need constant upkeep because parts of the water faucets were falling off. it was a disappointing end.
