Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were accommodating and stored my bag pre-check in. However, the room wasn’t great at all. The mattress was as hard as a brick, the noise from the busy street outside and adjoining/upstairs rooms meant I had a terrible and uncomfortable night’s sleep. Plus, everything was dusty and the towels had stains.
Maybe I just got a bad room but £150 a night for that is absolutely crazy.
Positives:
- Friendly welcoming reception staff.
- The room was clean
- WiFi was fine.
- Bathroom was clean and looked newly fitted.
Negatives:
- The “double” room was very pokey - the bed pushed up against the wall so one occupant had to clamber into bed. The floor plan showed that ours was the smallest room on our floor, so will likely do better.
- one of the window panes was cracked.
- the double glazed windows in the bathroom hadn’t been properly fitted so the was an air gap that allowed a draft around the edges.
- One small chair.
- Light from the landing seeped all around the room door, a bit off putting when trying to sleep.
- A rather dilapidated stand in the corner for tea/coffee.

The staff were amazing, very accommodating and friendly. It’s an older building so the walls are paper thin which unfortunately deters me from staying here again. I got woken up by other patrons being loud in the hallway and I was woken up in the middle of the night by my neighbors having sex so hard their bed was ramming the wall I shared with them. I could also hear every moan the couple made. Thankfully that didn’t last long. There is a complimentary breakfast which a perk but the options were extremely limited. It was only beans, eggs yogurt and toast. Honestly, I feel bad for leaving this poor of a review because the staff was amazing but amazing staff doesn’t out way the negatives.
Such warm, friendly staff! A very quirky hotel with themed decor on each floor ! Rooms are very well equipped with fridge, ironing board, hairdryer - which was perfectly situated beneath a mirror ! Plenty of tea and coffee and a good sized TV. Fruit and water was included in the room. Breakfast was a bonus and Eva who ran the dining room was really friendly and helpful.
Left out of the hotel we discovered am amazing Italian restaurant - The taste of Naples !! Amazing and live opera on Friday nights !!
Beautiful cozy hotel in quiet zone but not far from all historical places of London, about 15 minutes walking to London Tower. Hotel staffs are super caring and friendly.
Cheap and cheerful, really friendly staff great location. Everything was fine until I went to bed. Mattress was really yielding and did not make for a good nights sleep. Also, shower was a bit weird and was difficult to control.
The hotel is located in a very convenient area that's well connected to London's main sights. The staff was lovely and overall it was a good option for a short trip to London
Room was very clean , staff were very friendly and helpful . Nice touches in the room -fruit , fridge, bottled water. Lovely Continental buffet breakfast.
My stay was very comfortable and pleasant. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and gave clear information about everything—from breakfast hours to reception service and hotel access. The room was clean, and the entire place was well maintained. I stayed for 13 days and felt very satisfied with both the service and the location. The staff was always kind and ready to help with any questions or recommendations about places to visit. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and friendly place.
