Good for one night only!

Great location, refurbished but looks are not always functional. Room small, have a bruise where the bedframe stuck out and ‘got me’ every time I walked past it. 5 coat hangers, poor storage, hairs in shower floor, shower over spilled and flooded bathroom (I fixed it), air conditioning did not work, boiling hot and could not open window due to noise. However the Double glazing was amazing soundproofing

Happy Stay Apart from Breakfast Staff

Amazing stay and location, hotel is very clean but rooms are on the small size, the only thing that let the hotel down was the breakfast staff, 3 of them but didn’t offer any service at all, I asked for some sweetener of which the waitress abruptly said we don’t have any, but they have them in the rooms so clearly she just couldn’t be bothered! Up your game!

Room was clean and a decent size. And the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a little on the smaller side but still perfectly useable. The shower was very easy to use.

Shocking from start to finish! Scaffold all over the front of the building - told to keep curtains closed! Tiny room, can’t even walk around the bed to the toilet. No facilities, bar or restaurant! Ridiculous amount of noise in the foyer, couldn’t even hear the receptionist talk! She looked embarrassed for us. Electric cables left hanging in the outdoor stairs! No mention of any of this before booking! Overall, disgusting for the amount you were still asking for the room!

Very professional polite staff with great service. Excellent price. Not as impressed with the room this time compared to last stay. Bed was very uncomfortable with no headrest just a hard wall. Bedding also very basic and uncomfortable. There also was not tabletop surface around the sink in bathroom so had nowhere to put toiletries which was frustrating and inconvenient. Would definitely stay again but request for same room as previous stay.

London weekend break

Rooms are small, but this is standard for London so no surprise. Comfy room but struggled to get cold air from the air con, luckily the windows opened slightly to allow fresh air, which I feel is needed in hotels sometimes! Noise from the street but I managed to sleep well as the bed was comfy. Shower room and facilities were good. More teabags needed in the room.
