Solo traveled. Really liked the location of this hotel. Staff were very friendly. Easy check in and easy check out. Didn’t like the carpet floor that much and wished there was a gym. If you skip housekeeping you get a voucher.

Enjoyed the location, walkable from the train and close to the British Museum. Carpet is a bit old in the rooms and the bed could be more plush, but very clean (i love the smell of bleach, i know they really got all the germs) and staff was great. Room was quaint and complimentary coffee and tea was a nice touch. It would be great if they put a little table and 2 small chairs in the tower window of the room.

After 30~ hours of transit from Australia to London, the staff were very welcoming and let us check in quite early, and comped us breakfast to aid in our getting into town. The property was very spacious and welcoming. If we ever are in this area again, we will endeavour to stay here
