My second stay here. It’s safe, clean and friendly. The location is perfect for the British museum, transport and shopping. The dining facilities are excellent and the garden a haven after exploring London all day. I will be back.

Room was clean and comfortable. Shower rooms and bathrooms were also clean and in good repair. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food available was good and reasonably priced. There was a little bit of noise into the early hours on one night from other residents, they were outside till late as the weather was so warm. Overall I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

This is a college dorm room, so it is missing a lot of the basics that a hotel room would carry like a kettle, ironing board, AC, TV, etc.. Also the interior of the building is well kept but worn. For the price I was expecting more (I paid over £200 per night inc tax) so was disappointed. I felt that this was overly expensive for what was offered, especially as breakfast wasn't included and there wasn't means to get hot water from a central location like you might do in other budget/minimalist hotels. It is in a nice neighbourhood which is pretty quiet and close to public transport connections. Overall, it is fine if you are open to dorm type accommodation and prepared to pay quite a high price for it, but I won't be staying here again.

This was a real gem, I was lucky enough to stay here in the holiday season whilst the students were away. There was a little bar with very reasonably priced drinks and I got to listen to a jazz concert. Wonderful surroundings.
