Nice property. Clean. We had a twin room - both the room and bathroom were very small. We put on luggage on the small table and the window ledge. There is very little room to walk and the bottom of the bed sticks out - I cut my leg open bumping it. They control the A/C temp so all you can do is turn it on no or off. Our room was over the street on the 2nd floor. Noise minimal at night but it is an active area during the day. No real closet. No place to put toiletries in the bathroom. The small shower had a half wall as a door so basically the floor would get very wet when someone was showering. Clean. Bed comfy. Ice coffee and tea service with a Nespresso machine and cookies. Great location. 5-10 minute walk to Eustin train/tube stations. Would recommend.

Very disappointing in terms of the bedroom. Cited as a double, fortunately I was alone because 2 people would NEVER be able to use the room together unless one was in bed. Tiny bathroom, shower goes all over the floor. Steam sets of the fire alarm. Staff came into my room whilst I was getting out of the shower and had to ask them twice to leave. Then they phoned and hung up on me because I was angry. Complained to the manager who then wouldnt let me talk and just kept talking very very quickly thinking I suppose that I would stop. Appalling. I would recommed you find somewhere else. Dont stay here.
