Hotel needs an update, décor, furniture antiquated.

Rooms facing St. James Square noisy at times.
The hotel’s rooms that face St. James Square, with views of the cathedral and small gardens, drew criticism from guests due to the noise factor, especially late night/early morning when the nearby pub closed for the night.

Slow dining service with disappointing food.
The on-site restaurant also garnered displeased remarks from guests, who complained that the service at both the bar and restaurant was very slow, took some time to receive their meals or drinks. Guests also commented that the food was disappointing.
