Drury Court Hotel

Not impressed. We booked here based on the rave reviews and are regretting it. We got in at 11pm and found a sequence of things that didn't work, but we were only here for one night (13hr stay) and it just wasn't reasonable to call them out for every singular thing. For instance: the extra double bed that supposedly sleeps three was actually two twin beds fastened together. Not great for a couple who likes to sleep in the centre together, but even worse I'd imagine for a third person who has to sleep on the join in the middle. Besides that, the bed was incredibly hard, and the centre edges are even firmer, leading to a lot of tossing and turning. In addition, we couldn't get the blind to stay down for love or money. Perhaps I was just missing something but I ended up holding it down with a clothes hanger fastened under a chair leg. Of the two bedside lamps, only one worked. I managed to get the one on my side to turn on by accident for half a second as I moved the cord, then heard a fizzling sound and couldn't get it back. The heater in the bedroom was either broken in itself or the display was a dud, but either way the result was that there were two settings: on or off. We opted for on, and by a few hours later it was approaching 30° in the bedroom. Lastly, the shower. The part that fastens the shower head to the bar was impossible to adjust. We are both tall people and were pleased to see that the shower head could be raised above our own, but the only position it wanted to be in was eye-level and facing the back corner. I spent twenty minutes messing with it, trying to force it to stay somewhere useful. This resulted in the bar coming out of the bracket entirely. In the end, I tied the fastener to the top of the bar with a towel. Decidedly not the best shower I've ever had. In addition, we ordered dinner in and the delivery person was unable to contact us upon arrival due to our international numbers. I got a notification that they were downstairs and raced down but was unable to find them. In desperation, I asked the concierge if they'd come in. The concierge said yes, they had been in, and chased down the street with me in tow to try and find the driver. I appreciate them helping us flag down our food, but I'm confused why they didn't try to call us when the driver arrived and inquired in the first place. Pros: you get an entire small apartment, very quiet, feels very private. Random cooking utensils. Everything else worked. If you've got the patience and time to get their help with multiple things, maybe it would be worth a longer stay. But for one night, I'd say go elsewhere.

Just spent a couple of nights here. Absolutely brilliant. Friendly greeting and offer to store our bags on the last day. Spacious room, great walk in shower. Very clean everywhere. Impressive location. Would definitely stay here again.
