This place was a terrible experience. I was given a room on the 7th floor. It was the size of a large cell and accessible by a rickety freight elevator (it was down for most of my stay, which meant hauling luggage down a flight of stairs to the other elevators where there was always a long wait) The room was hot and stuffy without any climate control (there was a radiator) Keeping the widow open helped, but that was a cold draft that either smelled like old kitchen grease or cut metal from the construction outside. This was middle of November, so I can't imagine how much of an unbearable hot box it would be during the warmer months. There was massive noise from construction going on outside during working hours. You could also hear everything through the walls and the floors were so creaky it was like trying to fall asleep on a pirate ship (thank God for noise cancelling headphones). On the positive side, the room was clean and the shower and toilet worked. That's a very low bar when you're paying +$200 per night. I stayed at a nearby hotel at the start of my trip and regretted not booking the same place on my way back. The guy at check in was courteous, but the woman at check out was really rude (which is impressive given that all you need to do is ask for the room number or last name). I would not recommend this place to anyone and had it not been prepaid I would have gone elsewhere after checking in.
the sketchy elevator to the 7th floor was out of commission most of the time
there was constant construction noise
not exactly worth the money

Reception staff excellent - professional and polite. Frustrating having to ring down from my room over and over again for an Iron and Ironing Board but no one picking up. Had to go without which is far from ideal. Rooms are clean and tidy as expected - tea and coffee selection not the best, but to be expected at a hotel like this one. Excellent location and efficient check out process.

This is a great hotel, located in a great area with convenient transit connections to explore the rest of London. It also boasts a very decent restaurant, a separate facility from the breakfast area. The only reason i am not giving it a 5 star is because the room was so small. It was just big enough to meet our needs, but only just. Regardless I would go back to this hotel again.

Clean hotel everywhere, in our room and all public areas. Friendly staff. Competitive prices giving value for money. Have stayed before and the breakfast was very good, but did not have breakfast on this occasion due to our itinerary. Comfortable beds with good pillows. Secure bag storage so we could enjoy our last day bag free. Room key to operate the lifts is a great security measure. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

I love this hotel — it’s simple, clean, and the staff are lovely and helpful. And this time I was given a letter that said “Guest of the Day”! And accompanying sweet perks. I wasn’t able to use the generous late checkout because I had to go to a meeting very early, but hope to be able to use it one day in the future! I’ll certainly be back. Thank you.

Staff were lovely and helpful, asking us exactly what type of room we wanted etc and couldn’t be more helpful! Room was basic enough but clean, comfortable and perfect for our weekend trip. Bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated, looked fantastic and shower was wonderful. Really nice touch of having a case around the window to block out outside noise! Location is absolutely perfect and we would stay again with no hesitation.
