Had to switch rooms because original room didn't have any windows. Smell of cigarette smoke despite it being a smoke free building. Limited bathroom amenities.

We loved the Hyde Hotel. Best things: staff at front desk are an absolute pleasure and so kind, location can’t be beaten! Bar is gorgeous and delicious, rooms large and comfortable. Highly recommend; particularly if you come in by train since you’re steps away from the station.
