Enjoyable stay, comfortable friendly hotel

Really enjoyable stay. Friendly and pleasant staff. Helpful. Great breakfast, freshly cooked. Good quality and good choice. Great coffee. Rooms newly refurbished. Comfortable beds, water in mini fridge, slippers and dressing gowns. Bathroom lacking shelf space, shower could be a bit more powerful and design allows some water on ground outside shower area. Some grout not cleaned off tiles but this is easily fixed. Light in parts of room a bit too low so would not be conducive if needed for applying make up etc. due to location of mirror. Tea, coffee and biscuits supplied. Quiet hotel, lots of bars, restaurants within easy reach and underground station around the corner. Bottle beer at bar £7 for small bottle a tad on the expensive side. Overall would highly recommend.

Great place to stay

Have stayed at other Indigo hotels. This one is undergoing upgrades, but still was excellent. Lovely rooms (we had a 2 room suite), outstanding staff, great kitchen and breakfast, bar is open late, and the location was perfect. 1 block to tube station. Next to the Olympia (short Uber ride of 10 mins) where I was attending the Book Fair, and great restaurants within 10 minute walk radius.....Indian, Pubs, Tai, Italian.....take your pick..

It was an excellent stay. One of the best hotels in that area (and I stayed in a few). The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I did not know I had breakfast included and that was a nice surprise. Good breakfast for the price of the stay. The room was as expected for this kind of hotel, nothing special but nothing to complain about. Felt comfortable and had everything I needed. The location is in a good neighborhood with very convenient tube station. I truly think they are really trying to be excellent. Will for sure look at this hotel again for my next London trip.
