great location
Great location within walking distance to all tourist sites. Clean hotel, small rooms, friendly staff. You eat at the pub for breakfast which was fine.

Great room, great location. Would return!
Great stay with friendly staff. Arrived a little early to leave luggage until check in at 3. We were pleasantly surprised to be checked in 2 hours earlier. This was a great bonus and the late check out on a Sunday was ideal too.
We were a little worried about noise being above a pub but it was a very quiet stay.
Overall, facilities were great. Pleasant shower and nice to have the bath too.
Breakfast in the morning was very good with a brilliant selection of choices. Plenty of plant based options too.
Only downside is we didn't get the temperature right in the room, we were either too warm or too cold.
Would definitely recommend as a central place to stay. We walked everywhere we wanted to get to but there is a tube station just a couple of minutes away too.

Management was loud and pushy. WiFi required personal information for an unsecured connection and you had to allow them to use in any way they wished.
Great walkable location to many things but better hotels nearby.

We loved this hotel!
It's in an excellent area in Westminister, just down the street from Westminister Abbey. A tube stop just down the street too. Very convenient location. The room was very nice and the bathroom was lovely, appearance wise and functionality wise. The wooden desk and nightstands were a nice touch too. Most of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. The beds weren't very soft but the room was quiet aside from occasionally hearing people walk down the hall.
I would certainly stay at this hotel again.

This was the a wonderful hotel. The rooms are the perfect size, very cute and very cozy. They have everything in the room you would need, including an assorted tea bar. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to quite a few of London's popular landmarks. They serve a wonderful complimentary breakfast at the restaurant on the first floor.
