Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers great rooms, especially the triple room, and provides a very quiet atmosphere, which is a nice touch. While the air conditioning didn't work, the single rooms are a bit small but perfectly suitable for a short stay.
The hotel surprised me positively, and I would definitely stay here again. The room, although a bit small, was comfortable and had an additional door that blocked out the noise from the busy main corridor. Despite the initial concerns about potential noise, it turned out to be a quiet and cozy retreat.
The hotel offers clean, modern rooms with well-equipped amenities and friendly service. The location is convenient with easy access to transportation, but some cleanliness issues were noted. The dining options could be more varied, and the facilities are functional.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the tube, surrounded by amazing places to eat and attractions. The room, newly renovated with a modern bathroom, was quiet enough for a good night's sleep but a bit small, ideal if you're out exploring most of the time.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Although the room I initially had was noisy and had a bad odor, the modern and cozy replacement room with new furnishings made up for it. The location was ideal for exploring the city but lacked an elevator, and the service had its ups and downs with helpful staff for some tasks but not for others. The dining options were limited, but the hotel facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was lovely and comfortable. The location is great, just a 5-minute walk to the tube station. The rooms were clean and cozy for a one-night event visit, but the dining options were limited. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
The hotel is located in a quiet residential street, close to two tube stations and surrounded by supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, and takeaways, making it convenient for guests. The rooms are adequate in size for a triple stay but would benefit from a different layout and better amenities like tea and coffee refills. The service, particularly from reservations and housekeeping, was lacking in helpfulness and friendliness. The location is rated highly for its convenience and proximity to amenities but needs regular cleaning in some areas. The dining experience offers a fair selection of cereals, fruits, and pastries despite the environment feeling like a cash and carry setup. The facilities at the hotel are decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and spacious with a well-furnished en suite bathroom, including a large walk-in shower with convenient features like a glass shelf. However, the room size was a bit small for my liking, even for a solo traveler. The location was ideal, being close to two underground stations in a quiet residential area but well-connected to the city center. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering pre-packed continental breakfast options. The service had its ups and downs, with efficient and courteous staff but some issues with noise disturbance and unhelpfulness from management.
The hotel is in a nice quiet London street but close enough to transport for access into the hustle and bustle of everything. The rooms were small but perfectly adequate for a one night stay to attend an event, although a bit tight to move around. The service was excellent and attentive to our needs, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, although a bit small, were clean with a nice view of the garden. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was an unexpected charge for an ice bucket. The location was convenient, close to public transport but with some safety concerns like loose boards. The dining options were modest with a late breakfast start time. The facilities were decent, and the value for money was reasonable.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very nice and quiet, and the bed was comfortable, but some areas appeared quite damaged. The service was top-notch; they were professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during my post-op recovery. The location was superb, right in the center and within walking distance to key spots in London. The dining experience was pretty average, with room for improvement in the breakfast selection. Overall, a great value for money stay.
The hotel had a very new, plush feel to it with lovely and spacious rooms; however, it was a bit too hot inside even with the window open. The reception was delightful and welcoming, making me consider staying here again.
The hotel rooms, while not large, were sufficient and served their purpose with a comfortable bed and a hot shower offering a choice of two shower heads. The decor showed some wear and tear, which might be a bit tight for more than one guest seeking personal space.
I was so impressed with this hotel! The rooms were not really big, but just enough for the two of us, and we could easily open our suitcases. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this hotel. The rooms were on the smaller side but new and very clean, plus within easy walking distance of the tube and Olympia, making it perfect for DragCon.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and well set out, offering a suitable size given the tendency to smaller rooms compared to North America. The service provided by the staff was top-notch, with friendly and helpful interactions. The location was average, with convenient access to the tube and bus stations, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was understandable, considering the circumstances, and the facilities met my expectations.
