I stayed here when it was Theobalds Park and the hotel is going through a full renovation which can make the place look totally unfinished. The only negative was that there was no work desk in my room - but I was told that this is going to be rectified and most room do have a desk. I would definitely stay again

Great, convenient and good price

It was great, Very convenient, quiet location and relaxing. I don’t know the details as to what was eco-friendly. Didn’t do breakfast as price was too high. Just have normal bedside tables, the wood stump and small box weren’t big enough or necessary.

Low level customer service, Rode old lady in reception, but other receptionists were nice ladies. All rooms in this place has Toilet flashing issue. Bath has bad covering design, after taking shower you have the toilet floor full wet. And they do not do house keeping every day. They need some major refurbishment.

Absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed for the Beyoncé concert and the transport links were nearby and easily accessible, and staff were so helpful in navigating how to get to and from the stadium. The room was huge and had all necessary amenities, bed was super comfy and it was a quiet area. The hotel decor is lovely, and the staff were all fantastic. We will definitely return!

This hotel is in a lovely setting. It hasn’t been opened long so there are a few areas that need to be developed more, but the staff are all so professional and deal with any issues fairly and efficiently. The restaurant staff especially Luke are a real asset to the hotel. Luke is so friendly but also very professional which is what made our meals in the restaurant so enjoyable. Compliments to the new chef , the fish pie was the best we have ever tasted. So often in reviews the cleaners do not get a mention so I want to say that Gemma who cleaned our room went above and beyond in her role. The hotel is really developing in the right direction and we look forward to experiencing this each time we stay in the future. Sally Waller.

Rare and Unique

It was an unusual place, but clean and unique. The Main gate was broken, old and padlocked. No directions for Ubers or travelers to use the other entrance. Our transport cancelled itself and made things a challenge trying to explain how a driver needed to gain access especially when you are a guest. The Food exceptional.

Lovely stay - will be back

Lovely location. Stayed in the old part of the hotel which was a bit surprising as the pictures on the booking site didn't match the room my parents got. So, maybe update the booking form to reflect that. It wasn’t an issue for us. The room my parents got was big and nice. They enjoyed the bed and how peaceful it was. Unfortunately, the lift was out of order which was a problem as we had a very heavy suitcase to drag up the stairs. Again, we managed it. We didn't try the restaurant as we ran out of time sadly.
