The hype
Guests are blown away by the architecture and vibe but often shocked by the noise levels and strict pool access rules.

다음의 경우 예약하세요 You want to sleep inside a 1920s movie set where the lobby is the hottest party in the City and you don't mind paying extra for the rooftop pool.
사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- The jaw-dropping 3,000sqm former banking hall lobby with 8 restaurants and live jazz
- Soho House-style design in the rooms (vintage radios, velvet armchairs, Cowshed products)
- The Vault bar located inside the original 20-tonne bank vault door
한눈에 보기: It’s less of a hotel and more of a massive, noisy, glamorous members' club that happens to have bedrooms attached.
@periclesrosa님의 리뷰: I stayed in the Signature Two Bedroom Suite and honestly, I didn't want to leave. The open-plan bathtub in the master bedroom is a dream, and having a full cocktail station made our pre-dinner drinks feel so special. It’s pure vintage glamour.

Reality check
You will feel like a second-class citizen if you book a standard room and get turned away from the rooftop pool.
- You thrive in high-energy, social environments and don't plan on sleeping before midnight
- You love having 8 different dining options without leaving the building
- You appreciate 1920s Art Deco design and heavy velvet aesthetics
청결 & 유지관리
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Turn-down service is standard and well-executed.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Marble bathrooms are well-maintained, though drains in older buildings can be slow.
- Maintenance: High standard. The building is historic but the renovation is recent and robust.
- Linens & towels: Premium quality. Heavy, fluffy towels and crisp, high-thread-count sheets.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of expensive cologne and food; rooms smell of Cowshed herbal products.

객실 지니
최고의 선택
- Large Room (or above) – crucial for unlocking rooftop pool access
- Heritage Rooms – for high ceilings and original 1920s details
피해야 할 객실
- Crash Pads – unless you are solo and literally just crashing (claustrophobic, no view)

객실 요청 지니 – 복사 & 붙여넣기
“I am a light sleeper. Please assign a room on the highest possible floor, facing the internal courtyard or a quiet side street, away from the central atrium music.”
자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Does my room get me into the rooftop pool?
Only if you book a 'Large' room category or higher. 'Crash Pad', 'Cosy', and 'Medium' rooms only get access to the basement pool and gym.
Is it noisy?
Yes. The lobby is a massive open-plan dining hall with live music daily. It is not a quiet hotel.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, small dogs (up to 10kg) stay for free, but they are not allowed in the restaurants or members' areas.
Is there parking?
No on-site parking. You'll need to find a public car park nearby, which is expensive in the City.
What is the 'Crash Pad' room?
It is a budget-friendly, tiny (17sqm) room designed for short stays. Expect limited storage and potentially no external windows.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, but with restrictions. Children can use the rooftop pool only between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, and evening dining with kids is limited.
내부자 팁
- ✨
If you didn't book a Large room, try asking nicely at reception for a 'day pass' to the roof – sometimes they sell them if occupancy is low.
- ✨
The Vault bar in the basement is open to hotel guests (even in small rooms) and is built inside the original gold bullion vault – a must-see.
- ✨
Use the 'Ned Friends' app or ask the concierge to book restaurants; they fill up with locals fast.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The lobby toilets can feel like a public train station restroom due to the sheer volume of non-guest diners.
💡The 'discretionary' 5% service charge on the room rate is rarely mentioned at booking but appears on the final bill.
💡You might have to queue to get into your own hotel lobby on Friday nights due to security checks for the bars.
💡The basement pool is actually a very good lap pool (20m) and often quieter than the rooftop.
💡Room service breakfast is surprisingly excellent and worth the splurge to avoid the chaotic lobby morning rush.
