No complimentary drinking water but a kettle with sachets of milk and T-bags. On bringing water back to my room and turning on the kettle it tripped the electricity in my room so I wasn’t able to avail myself of the small fan (there was no ac due to the age of the building). Of course I wasn’t sure as to the cause of the electricity cut until it came back and I tried boiling a kettle again with the same result. Then it became clear. Perhaps it’s the hotel’s strategy to keep the electric bills down - no complimentary drinking water and flip switches set to turn off the electricity for 1 hour if one has the audacity to attempt to boil the kettle with water from a nearby store - of which there are a plentiful supply. Take note if you have medication to take, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee (and who doesn’t?) or simply wants to stay hydrated. The room could have doubled as a sauna but the air conditioning was provided courtesy of a wonderfully functional Victorian sash window which I admittedly was surprised to find wasn’t bolted shut in this age of health and safety. Honourable mention must go to the elevator - quite possible the slowest elevator I have ever experienced. Having checked in, and desirous of a shower and a cup of tea (little did I know) the elevator, which was on floor 3, visited every intermediate floor, including the basement, (breakfast had long ceased being served) before returning to the reception. The back of the bar however is the fire escape stairway.
