Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room felt sparse, with furnishings limited to a small round table and a single chair, no luggage stand and no mini fridge provided, which was disappointing for this price range. Housekeeping began knocking loudly on the door as early as 7 am, including on checkout day. When I declined service, staff were abrupt and insisted I post a “do not disturb” sign, though I hadn’t expected housekeeping so early and assumed it wouldn’t be necessary. The location is the only redeeming feature; however, for rates over £200 per night, I truly expected a more comfortable and better-equipped experience.

The staff was very friendly and responsive to our requests upon arrival, since they quickly were able to move us into a room with a walk-in shower and add a roll away bed to accommodate three adult guests comfortably.

I stayed in the sister hotel next door earlier in the year while this was being renovated. Its nice to see it complete and it looks great. The 3 occupancy room was ideal for us as a family and was well equipped and comfy. Paid a bit extra for breakfast which was really good and good value The shower wasnt the best and tricky to get the temperature right. And there was a fire alarm at 2am which wasnt much fun standing outside for an hour. Would have expected some sort of compensation for this

This hotel is very big and very busy There are a lot of groups coming and going. On Friday night there was very loud music until 10PM. The ambiance is that of a college dorm. The staff is very helpful.

The good things about this hotel are: walking distance to The British Museum and easy connection to major bus routes. This is a very basic hotel. There is no AC. In the middle of the night we heard significant scratching noises behind our television. We reported it and whatever it was either was found or never came out again. The bathtub is slippery and put us all in fall-risk so be careful climbing out. The hotel staff is undertrained, rude, and uninterested in helping customers. You can tell they are unhappy to be working there. Also the hotel seriously needs to add sitting areas in the lobbies as countless children were just sitting on the floor (there was a rugby match). I believe this was to encourage people to sit in one of the restaurants.
