Wifi was very poor in rooms. Buffet breakfast was overpriced and barely tolerable quality. No bar soap, no Kleenex, no facecloth, no phone in room, no refrigerator in room. Comforter was too heavy - no alternative blankets. Good location for busing to Trafalgar Square etc.

Good hotel for the price(it's London) & near svcs

Overall a good place & within 5 blocks of many restaurants, services, the Tube & hopon hopoff busses, but could use some improvements to make it more comfortable. Mattresses def could be more comfy, maybe add memory foam toppers, something so they don't feel so hard. Also, no washrags avbl...handowels are too big to use in the shower. Bigger soap dispensers for shower. In general, a water fountain somewhere for guests to fill bottles and an ice machine.

The hotel was good with decent sized rooms. The location is OK although very convenient for the Swan pub which became our end of day go-to location for a pint (or two), and Lancaster Gate tube stop is a short walk away Check in was bit of an ordeal. A new computer system had just gone live and all the details I had provided on the original reservation had to be re-entered. I know this is not the fault of the front desk staff but they have to deal with annoyed customers (like me). A temporary issue I'm sure, but not a good customer experience. Some things to note from my stay: - some rooms require you to climb stairs to get to them even though you rode the lift/elevator. If you're a handicapped traveler be sure to NOT get one of these rooms. - in my bathroom the shower water fluctuated randomly from scalding hot to freezing cold. I reported this to the front desk and maybe it has been addressed. My travel companion did not have this issue in this room.

Our stay here lasted several days. The location was excellent—centrally located to almost everything we wanted to do and see, with an underground station just a short walk away. The neighborhood felt safe, and the staff were all wonderful and very accommodating. That said, there were some downsides. Our room and bathroom both had visible mold, and the hotel overall had a noticeable mildew smell. The shower water temperature was inconsistent, staying lukewarm at best and often dropping to cold, though the tub shower head did provide hot water. Overall, this hotel works well for a short stay, but for four or more days I would choose somewhere else.

I chose this property for location. It did not disappoint. The hotel is clean, quiet and had air conditioning. My only complaint was the room we had was small compared to what I am use to.
