All good bar the street noise
Overall most things about my stay were very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The check-in and check-out process was swift and friendly. I really enjoyed the burger I had for dinner at the London Pub located in the same building. The breakfast was very decent and hearty with a varied choice for all tastes. The room had been recently renovated, and the bedding was comfy. The only gripe I have was that my room faced onto a main street. Normally not a problem. I found that the window was very poor at keeping out noise. The location seemed to have police cars / ambulances passing every few minutes at worst. And this went on through the evening and night. So, sleep was poor. Staying here again, I would insist on a room that was on the inner court yard if possible. Apart from that excellent value, great location and easily accessible to other areas of London.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There were no seats in the lobby for people to sit , if need be. There is no shop for gifts. There was no ice machine on my floor. There was no ice bucket or mini fridge in the room. All our food and drinks were left at room temperature. There was no microwave to heat up a small meal. The was wwwwaaaayyyy too expensive!!! If I park my car for 24hrs. I should be able to go in and out without being charged extra fees each time. The breakfast was very very disappointing! Everyone doesn't eat PORK! Its not fair to go so cheap that the customer feels lied to! I thought i was going to have at least 1 meat option to manage, but no. I only had bread and butter for breakfast my entire stay! But this was one of the reasons i chose this hotel and they seriously disappointed me and my 2 guests. Its not ok! PLEASE DO BETTER. Thanks alot!

Worth it if you get a good deal
Great price for the location and room. We stayed in one of the top floors and the room was well kept and comfortable. Decoration is lacking (it’s very plain) but that’s not why we picked this hotel. The location is ideal for visiting London by foot. There is a 24h Tesco 2 mins away. The luggage drop off service is also very handy and well organised. If you get a good deal, I would definitely recommend booking this place. Saw some bad experiences in the reviews but everything went super smoothly for us.

The cost of room was expensive. This excluded breakfast. The hotel was extremely busy with multiple crowds of foreign tourists. Waited ages for a lift that had room to enter as there were so many suitcases in the lifts. Room was clean and tidy with all required facilities. I will never stay there again

First class service
Excellent service, the reception staff went above and beyond to find us an early room. Breakfast was superb and the breakfast staff were super efficient. The hotel is extremely clean. Situated in an excellent part of London. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an excellent stay.

All fine with bed, shower etc but the windows are appalling, they don’t shut properly so all the noise echoing round the courtyard gets into the room
