We only stayed for 1 night mid week & have to say we were very happy with our room it was quite small but fine for 1 night, the room & bathroom were very clean more so than many 5* hotels we have paid 100s of pounds for. …

I really enjoyed staying here while visiting London for a week. Yes, it's not flash. If you want flash stay somewhere that isn't a 2 star hotel. It is clean however with daily room service and the location is in a beautiful and safe area in Central London. You can literally walk everywhere or have ample access to buses and tubes. The staff are also really friendly, kind and helpful. Take it for what it is and enjoy the surrounding area!

I had no internet 95% of the time I was there. I was always disconnected. The room is very suffocating. It is very small and cramped. It was just a bed against the wall and the space leftover was about 1 foot to move around. …

Very helpful and Friendly staff, great location, I was able to park on the street as I had a blue badge.The room as ok, small and pokey, the bed was built into the wall. so 3 sides were touching the walls and one side was a huge window, not good.The walls were paper thin and I couldn’t sleep with the noise from other residence, they weren’t being noisy it just sounded like one guy was snorting in my room and another couple were in my room talking. so I checked out at 4amSo overall not a good stay.But not realistically the fault of the staff.

We never stayed at this hotel so I can't attest to the quality. I can however comment on the manager and the communication we received. |We cancelled our booking in November 2023. …

This is in such an amazing location, minutes walk to Hyde park where you can walk to paddington, Italian gardens or the palace if you're so inclined. Then half an hour walk to Soho and super close to the underground. Rooms are good and staff are absolutely excellent! Absolute bargain for what you pay too for basically central London!See you next time!

For the price and location it’s perfect!||Yes the rooms are small but you don’t live in a hotel room… get out and explore.||Will definitely use again as it was ideal for me, being a solo traveller.||Plenty bars, restaurants, attractions and shops close by.

Hotel is simply more of a squat than a hotel. They have nice photos of rooms on their website but the chances are the room that you will be offered will be nothing like the photos as apparently they can't photograph all the rooms.  …
