Very pretty, simple but sophisticated. Bathroom is tiny, but one of the best showers I have had in years. Staff very responsive and nice. Bit noisy, both from street and noise from above. Get top floor? Would easily stay again especially given the price and neighborhood.

Great hotel stay. Staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. My only downfall was that there were limited dining options in the area. The local pizza express was amazing!

Noisy in the room upstairs. Very small family room, tiny bathroom. The hotel was making construction or renovations and we could not use the elevator. Easy acces to Underground only 2 blocks away.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
For the price- not worth it. The bathroom had mold and the walls were very thin- we were unable to go to sleep until well past 2am due to so much noise. I would expect much better for almost $300 per night. The neighborhood is beautiful, we will be choosing a different hotel next visit.

Starting with the positive: The staff was amazing, very customer oriented and helpful. The facilities and overall room very clean. Located in a nice area and walking to many attractions was convenient. However, the room and in-room ammenities were disappointing. The room was too small for two singles sharing a King room. There was no room for our suitcases and had 1 drawer to share with minimal space to hand clothes up. The lighting was very dim and, no outlets in the bathroom which made getting ready to go out for dinner etc very challenging. We found ourselves "climbing over" each other to get dressed, dry our hair, do make up etc. Finally, staff did come in each day to make bed and provide clean towels but did not tidy, replace cups, coffee etc. Overall, nice hotel but not as comfortable accomodations as I would have expected and preferred.

Excellent in every way! We arrived early in the morning after a long flight and they went out of their way to allow us to check in early so we could refresh and relax. The hotel is gorgeous and very convenient location to tube station. Highly recommend.
