We loved the location of this hotel. It is around the corner to Gloucester Station which has a direct line to most tourist attractions. The neighborhood was also very safe and clean.

Absolutely wonderful stay. Beautiful rooms, comfy beds and fantastic atmosphere
Great location, beautiful building, unique decor and nice rooms. Our room was a little dark though and smelled a bit musty. Overall this is a nice hotel.
Every staff member we met were very helpful and friendly, it really does make a great trip!
Our room was surprisingly large, with a very useful kitchenette and spacious bathroom.
All very clean and tidy.
And kept sleeping in as it was so quiet.
Great room, excellent amenities and exclusive areas.

Outstanding hotel great location love the interior and the staff are more than welcome and friendly.

Very nice hotel that I will be recommending to friends and family! The area is lovely and convenient to get into the city. The hotel staff went above and beyond for my girlfriend’s birthday. Also, the hotel offers a spa and lounge areas which turn a busy London into a peaceful space.
