We were one of the unlucky ones who were affected by the Heathrow airport closure due to fire. We scrambled to find a last minute hotel after our rental apartment said they had another booking and we needed to meet the 11am check out. This hotel was more than accommodating and we were very thankful. We were able to check in early so we didn’t have to check in our luggage for a few hours at a baggage hold facility. The place was clean and rooms were adequate but tiny. Minuses were that the staff entered our room while we were gone without our knowledge. We caught “maintenance” person in our room “checking the electricity”. And the room was cleaned while clearly we had luggage on the beds and the door started rooms were cleaned every third day. There is a concierge at a desk daily which made it convenient if you needed anything. But there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke that seemed to come from the office area. It is a moderate, good priced hotel for a couple or for a few nights at most.

Simple, did its purpose

Reception staff were very friendly! This hotel was a roof over my head for the night. You pay for what you get. It could do with a few touches up like a lick of pain, a good cleaning in the showers and some new extension cords that aren’t hit and miss. It’s about 8 min drive from the US Embassy, and a 14 min walk from Victoria Coach Station.

Fine for basic travel

Friendly and helpful receptionists and the hotel felt safe and clean. Hot water from the shower was intermittent though - at over £100 a night you want basics like this to be spot on, even in SW1.

Disliked: Room comfort

Ok but cold room

Room was icy cold when I arrived. There was an electronic radiator, but I wasn't turned on. It took a lot of time to get the room to such temperature that I could take a shower. Room was quite dated, but clean. Matress hurt my hip and the blanket was oddly narrow, so it was hard to get under the blanket and fully covered to get a good night sleep in the cold room. Hotel doesn't have a luggage storage.

Lovely friendly people and homely environment. Cold downstairs family room but remedied with free standing heaters. Good location for central London. Noisy phone ringing from 5am and could hear rumbling of train, so needed earplugs. As a last minute booking though was 'good enough'. Allowed for me to have a bit of flexibility with my checkout time.
