Staff was ok, they put us in a room where the elevator was not accessible to our floor with multiple luggage bags which was very inconvenient. The room was clean. Check in process was so so as they wouldn't check us in without providing more personal details that weren't ever needed at other hotels.

Hotel was comfortable and charming. Food was great, service was excellent. However, a bank of recycling bins nearby attracted some homeless people and trash pickers. Sometimes during the night, we would hear the lids slamming and people arguing. Certainly not the fault of the hotel but we wondered why the city put it there.

A nice hotel in a good location. There is a complimentary coffee machine by the lobby sitting area that you can make your own coffee . Hotel is nice, clean and located in a quiet street . Hotel use intense room perfume in the lobby without good air circulation which you don’t find that in most modern hotel .

The hotel used to be a favorite of mine. The location is perfect and close to Paddington and Hyde Park, but the hotel is starting to look tired. It feels cheap and not clean. The carpet in the hallways is stained, the paint work is chipped and the rooms are very cheaply decorated. I was put on the 7th floor twice, where there is no elevator. You have to go to 6th floor and then carry luggage up a very small staircase to the 7th floor. The rooms are tiny. The first room had no window, and I could not stand up in half of the room because the ceiling was sloped. The bed was not a queen bed as requested, it was a double bed which was too small. The bedding and pillows are very minimal and not comfortable. The bathrooms don't have a shelf to put any of your supplies and the sink is very small. The breakfast is quite nice and the staff are friendly. Unfortunately, I will most likely not be staying here again.

Don recommend staying here

Beds we so uncomfortable, no where to put your luggage. Closet had 2 hangers and no room to put clothes. No chest of drawers or anywhere to put clothes. Night stand on only one side of bed. No chair to sit in. To get to other side of bed you had to slide by wall and duck under tv. Bad water stain on wall. We had to put luggage on floor and couldn’t unpack at all unless you put it on floor.

The "executive double" room we were originally given was nothing like the photo, it was in the roof and I couldn't stand in half of the room. The staff were very helpful and moved us to another room and that had bugs in. But, at least it had Aircon because it was I hospitably hot when we got there.

The old buildings in the area have so much character. The attention to detail inside and out is amazing. I must admit that the space is much smaller than us Americans are accustomed too. but it was a lovely stay all the way around.
