Solid stay for a solo, female traveler. Very safe and central to public transit, food, attractions, convenience stores and late night entertainment. TV was a little wonky and sometimes would disconnect from wifi or your device if you were casting. Management did offer to move me to another room but it was a few days into my trip and not a huge priority at that point. Would stay again!

I had a lovely stay here; the space was cozy, charming, and clean. However, I found the front desk staff to be quite loud, which compromised the privacy of conversations. For instance, when I quietly asked where I could buy pads, their response was very loud, making it uncomfortable for me. Despite this issue, I still had an enjoyable experience overall.

We stayed at this hotel for two days after visiting family outside of London. The design of the room was different. We felt we were either on cruise ship or a space ship. The bathroom was a pod that looked like it had been just dropped in the middle of the room. The shower doors didn't extend to the floor so water leaked all over the floor. There was also no floor mat. The beds weren't very comfortable. The mattress was a thick foam with a mattress topper. They reminded me of cots. There was a nice table provided and coffee/tea station with a kettle. The room was spacious for a London hotel and the location was great. We recommend going to Mary and Me coffee shop down the road.

The bathroom floor is about 8 inches higher than the room's floor. In the middle of the night in the dark it is far too easy to forget that you have a step down when you exit the bathroom. I could easily have fallen and won't stay there again. It's a pity because everything else was good.
