First impressions of No 131 are very favourable, the hotel is in a great location and is very attractivly presented, albeit a little dark in the decor. There had been an issue with our booking and so we were upgraded. The young man that carried our bags to the room remarked that we'd been given a 'quiet' room and it wasn't until later that night that we realised the implications of what he'd said! What he didn't say was that the room was split level and we had to descend a very tight wrought iron spiral staircase to use the bathroom!! The bedroom was actually very nice, although a little on the dark side! Comfy bed with an overkill of pillows!! The bathroom was also very nice, large, light with a standalone bath, old fashioned loo, hand basin and large shower wet room. Which actually leaked all over the floor and very nearly caused an accident! What was missing was any sort of shelf to put our toiletries. That might appear being pernickety but it's so annoying to stay in a 'luxury' boutique hotel and find that the small things have been completely overlooked. Yes, the towels were the fluffiest ever but I had all my toiletries lined up on the floor. There was a desk in the bedroom that doubled as a dressing table but with absolutely zero light. What was required was an angle poise lamp so that anyone could sit comfortably whilst applying makeup! As it was, I had to hook my mirror on the shutter slats and work from there!! Back to the noise.........when we got to bed at around 12.30, it was like having our own private disco in the room, apparently we were above a night club. Marginally better than others from our party who had to contend with the terrace bars being literally the other side of their bedroom windows. The other big complaint I have is that when I took my life into my hands to use the bathroom in the night, the room lit up like a Belisha beacon! There was obviously some sort of light sensor on the staircase but rather than being set to just illuminate the stairs discretely, it lit up the room!! All in all I wouldn't not recommend No 131, but you need to be aware that it's a noisy set up, a little style over substance, and could do with a bit of a refresh.
