Complete noise fest from start to finish…paper thin walls and fellow guests with a distinct lack of regard for others not to mention noise pollution from the main road and the quintessential cast iron man hole cover clunking all night every time a vehicle went over it…avoid like the plague…

Incredibly small, dorm room-like rooms. Could barely fit our luggage and for 2 people it was not a comfortable size. Shower was terrible due to water temperature being inconsistent and temperamental. Breakfast was ok - not a ton of options and pretty basic. Staff were all very nice and hospitable. Great location, but would not stay there again.

Absolutely loved this hotel. It's so close to so many things! It felt like we were off the beaten path but within a half an hour's walk of any major attraction. Easy access to Metro. Lots of convenience stores, restaurants and shops right out the front door. Not to mention the British museum just a block away. The room was clean efficient and had a good view of the garden which I liked. Ken, along with all the reception staff were outstanding. They were always willing to help with anything we needed and greeted us when we came in and when we left the property for our daily adventure. They were so professional and polite. I hate to say it but I just wasn't used to that level of service ...and I've been to all the MGM properties in Las Vegas including Bellagio, NoMad, Cosmo, etc. These guys are great!
