Noisy, noisy, noisy! Had to change rooms as the noise from the nearby elevator and doors closing was annoying! New room was worst than the old room as it was a foot away from a loud closing fire door! Bathrooms are a hazard! A huge slippery high bathtub dominates the bathroom! The best thing about this hotel is the location.

The room was pretty small (space only for a bed) but I was moved to a bigger room because the television did not work. That room, still small, was sufficient, though the bathroom was tiny. But everything was spotless, cleaning was excellent, and the bed comfortable. In addition, the staff was extremely helpful and the food was very good.

the room was acceptably clean, although a little dusty in areas. the phone in the room did not work and we were unfortunately situated very far from reception. we requested the room to be refreshed but no additional coffe or water was provided and the bedding that had been changed was still wet. staff were pleasant throughout our stay. we had some light bites in the attached restaurant, asked for 2 tanqueray and tonic but were served tequila and tonic! otherwise, the bed was comfy and the heating /cooling worked well although has clearly seen better days as it was quite loud.

Very good value for London with excellent location just across the road from the Tube. Room clean, warm, perfectly adequate with very comfortable bed. Bit sparse on furniture. Nowhere to sit and write if you had to work for an hour or two but there was a decent little business room off the lobby. Can’t expect everything. Good breakfast. Would strongly consider using it again for the price.
