The room was comfortable and quiet, but the decor was a little tired. We had plenty of towels supplied and housekeeping tidied up when we needed it. The only downside to my stay was the lack of advertised breakfast. (There was no food, but coffee and tea in the room kettle.)
All in all, a safe and comfortable stay at a friendly, welcoming place!
The room was very small with old furniture and the tv was absolutely tiny. However, it was clean, the bed was comfy enough and the shower was good.
It served the purpose of a base for us visiting London but I would not like to spend any length of time there as it was very spartan, a little bleak and did not afford any facilities at all. London prices for accommodation are extortionate but maybe go that bit more for a little more comfort and surroundings. We had to go out for breakfast and there is a limited choice of places which are expensive.



I have emailed the manager regarding the numerous problems we had, but he has not replied. Avoid it. Location is the only positive, nothing else.
Our room was small in the basement below reception, so very noisy plus our room was on the staff corridor, so noise from them. The receptionist said our room was only sold when the hotel was full, but it was not full..shocking
The Location is excellent, 2 minute walk to the tube station. It's 6 / 7 minutes to Hyde Park, 20 minutes to St Pancras, ish.
In the area there are pubs, shops, restaurants alongside supermarkets, chemist etc..there's probably nothing you can't get within a five minute walk.
The room we had was a twin, overlooking the tree lined street. The bedding was clean, as was the room. Tv and tea /coffee facilities, large wardrobe, dresser and set of drawers. We stayed 2 nights and our room was cleaned during our stay. Shower room was more than adequate, with complimentary toiletries..
The guys on reception were lovely,really friendly and although we didn't need any help from them I'm sure they would have assisted in anything we needed.
To sum up, friendly staff, clean hotel conveniently placed at a very reasonable price
Thank you

I highly recommend this hotel and plan on returning with my family.
