Very tired hotel , worn carpets, saggy beds and I have literally never seen so many layers of paint on the wood in this hotel . I have stayed here many times over the last 15 years and the only benefit is that you can occasionally get a good deal. Definitely not worth the money anymore

Great range of food at breakfast, especially fruit. Welcoming, friendly staff. Rooms were lovely, and very quiet for central London. Accommodated a late check out to allow half marathon runners to shower and change after the event, hugely appreciated! Hotel could use a little TLC, a lift was out of order, handle came of firedoor in corridor. Didn't spoil our stay but may for others.
