3. We tried to eat there on two evenings but unless you are desperate for the experience, avoid - they are so popular, hotel guests are very low priority for them.

9. Better take your breakfast up to your room to avoid the hustle and busstle of the small dining room.

10. Oh, be careful in Bar Forty once you start buying cocktails - those girls mix a mean Hell's Kitchen Tea, and they're not stingy with the alcohol, so avoid if you've got an early get-up the next day.
