Because we missed our connecting flight we were going to miss the check in window. I called and was assured someone would wait for me until I arrived. Which they did. The bed was so comfortable that we got our much needed rest.

Rooms were located above the Black Friars pub. It was a unique experience. The pub had great live music and food. The room was great, very roomy the bed was very comfortable. Th area was surrounded by restaurants and shopping. Parks and the river were very close by. There was a public parking lot a couple blocks away.

We had a wonderful stay at the BlackFriar’s. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was lovely with nice touches like a basket in the room with local snacks. The bathroom shower and tub were top notch. This was by far the nicest option in town for the price. Great location near everything and a short walk from the train as well as the bus station and supermarkets.

I do not understand the 10/10 reviews here. Very disappointed. Not a hotel. Rooms above a pub. No desk. Waitress gives you a key for your room in the pub. Pub shares same small entrance as stairwell to the rooms. No service overnight. No customer service if there’s an issue. No view. You can hear all your neighbors doing everything all night long, as well as all the noise and traffic from the street. Stuffy. Small desk fan. No convenient place to plug in. Can’t open windows because of the constant noise. Would not recommend if you’re looking to sleep or be comfortable.

No one on site after-hours for issues… such as the banging on our door and jiggling of our door handle for most of the night and early morning! Was it a ghost or a drunk patron? No idea, but it certainly impacted the quality of sleep we got that night!

Room was okay- but for the price it was a let down. Breakfast was some cornflakes, yogurt and canned fruit - poor. Bar was uninviting with limited beer options. Parking was only available at the garage a few blocks away. Staff seemed mostly looking forward to having their shift end. Must be better options.
