Excellent value hotel for a short stay
Very good hotel for a one night stay. The room was well maintained, with a comfortable bed and was quiet. I slept very well. There was a good shower. Breakfast was fairly basic, but fine and was free of charge because the lift was broken. Overall excellent value

My only complaint would be that the single beds were very uncomfortable

4/10 Fair

No way
Omg....where do I start??? The only reason this place gets a 2 is because the staff is super friendly (except the girl at breakfast this morning). This hotel is in desperate need of a complete overhaul! The walls had cracks and patches, the tile in the bathroom.was cracked, the floor not level and THE LIFT IS BROKEN (under repair). The hotel decides to put this old lady up on the top floor so hiking up 4-5 flights was miserable! They offered a complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience but was not worth the hike up and down 5 flights. The room was tiny, which is okay bye, but the bed was definitely not a "twin" - it was like a toddler bed! The Internet didn't work half the time and, again, the saving grace was the employees! Spend the extra $$$ and stay elsewhere

One night stay
I was in London by myself for one night. As a 50+ female, I felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the hotel. I was able to drop off my bag at 11:30 am and not return until 10:30 pm with no issues. The twin bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet. Although they are older, I really appreciated the lift and the in-room air conditioning.

I thought it was nice for what i wanted. I was able to walk to the museums i wanted to see and it is close to the tube station so it was easy to reach other parts of London. There were restaurants close by.

All the staff were exceptionally kind and observant. Love the man with the French accent! Loved everyone else! Coming to my room after a long long day of sightseeing and having my bed made for me was wonderful! Thank you so much!

Excellent location with plenty of amenities near by. Had a single room for 2 nights,Was located on the 3rd floor, there was a lift. Only gripe was the water pressure in shower and the water never really got hot, didn't bother me too much as I do like a cold/luke warm shower.

The location was great but mostly I appreciated the great service. Nick and other staff helped me with a reservation snafu (my fault) and we're very kind about it.

This was a gem of a hotel in a very desireable area of London. I felt very cozy in my single bed room that had a lovely renovated bathroom, a kettle and milk, tea and coffee and a TV.
