The only problem I gad is that every morning when they are clean up the restroom, they cleaned up all the restroom at the same time. And it's not convenient for me at that time.

Pros (+) Very interesting & fun experience. Great location within easy walking distance to Parliament, museums, shopping, great restaurants. Eerily interesting, it feels like a jail, & the history is rather creepy, but great use for an awesome historic building. Staff was excellent, breakfast good, people from all over the world. I came for one night, stayed for two!
