The location provides a central base that is also quiet enough for a restful night, especially in apartments facing the courtyard. Many bars, restaurants, and shops are within a 5-minute walk, including Fishers In The City, Papii, and The Bon Vivant.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Pre-book parking immediately after confirming your reservation; only six spaces are available at £15 per night and cannot be guaranteed without an advance booking.

  • 02

    Request a lower floor when booking, as there is no lift and the building has narrow, winding stairs that make carrying luggage to upper floors challenging.

  • 03

    Use the luggage storage at the office on 85 Hanover Street (open 9am-7pm) if you arrive before the 3pm check-in time or need to store bags after the 11am check-out.

  • 04

    If you are a light sleeper, request an apartment facing the courtyard rather than the street or back yard, where glass-recycling noise can occur late into the night and early morning.
