Very nice hotel in a nice part of London. Very central and easy access to transport options. We knew the rooms had no air conditioning but didn’t mind that and they all had fans in any case.

Deanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

great location. Comfortable. Great staff

the room was very comfortable, if not large (this is central London, after all). Service was great, staff was friendly and the location was really great with three underground stops nearby. There were good restaurants nearby. While not particularly cheap, it wasn't outrageously priced, especially for that part of London.
Jonathan, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay but pricey

The room was clean but very small and the bathroom was even smaller. Location was pretty good and felt safe. Breakfast was good and staff were nice and friendly. Felt quite pricey for what it was.
Tiina, 3-night trip

Staff were very helpful getting us checked in early so we could go to our theatre booking, beautiful garden to sit in while having a drink. Excellent breakfast, thank you for a beautiful stay. We'll be back.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was a bit warm as on 5th floor in hot weather and no air conditioning but they did provide a fan. Breakfast was wonderful, lovely communal spaces to relax in, especially the garden.

My stay was great! The staff are friendly & very helpful with everything! The hotel is also in a great location! But I wish I had a choice of a more firm bed, it was too soft & uncomfortable.
