Location, location, location.
The hotel has an absolutely perfect location. Right by the station, shops, quayside and the best restaurants, cafes and bars.
However, the room was very small. The room was all very nicely furnished, but it felt very compact. It was ok for our one night stay, but anything more than that would have led to claustrophobia. It also only came with a teensy amount of toiletries. Plus there was a constant large droning noise outside our window (which you couldn't see out of).
The hotel is a similar price to Malmaison. Malmaison is a million times nicer, but Grey Street’s location is much better.
The room was very clean and light. Good shower. The attached restaurant/bar is very nice. Very good food at reasonable prices, with very nice staff. The tap water isn't really drinkable for some reason, tastes very funny. Comfy bed.
