This was a lower price than I normally pay and it did reflect on what we got .
It felt like a boarding house not a hotel. The bathroom is small and dated.
There was someone talking in another bedroom all night and it kept me awake.
The location is good for Oxford Street/Bond Street. Personally wouldn’t choose to stay here again but if you’re on a budget, perhaps it’s okay for you. As long as you’re not expecting anything special.
We only stayed one night, but it was pleasant.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The room was a good size, the shower unfortunately had a strange shower head that was not adjustable enough.
The hotel is very "quaint" and beautiful and feels cosy.
One drawback is the system to get to higher floors - the lift took us to the second floor, but then had to negotiate the narrow stairs with luggage.
However, overall our stay in early November this year was very nice.
The toilet seat had dried urine stain , rubbish on the floor. Reception had me wait while he was texting middle of our conversation. Hair inside the bath tub. Most disgusting hotel i stayed at, and i work 3-4 days a week out of town...
We asked for a twin room and got a double. The bathroom is tired and could do with a refurb given the shower curtain doesn’t stop the sink area and floor from getting wet.
A very well presented hotel with pretty flowers at the front and a polished front door. Very clean inside and the staff are sooo friendly and can’t do enough for you. The room is very comfortable, really quiet and has a lovely shower. Breakfast is great, offering everything from a bowl of cereal to a full English. Overall, this hotel is ideally located, quiet, very comfortable, extremely clean and has wonderful staff. Will definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Central London.

The staff were lovely, it was just our room that smelt of damp. The shower in particular smelt like a drain.
The area however is fab and I think this boutique hotel has a lot of potential!
All was well with this little cute boutique hotel. Lovely location. However the one item that would have given it a 5 star is the condition of the mattress. Really uncomfortable mattress with loads of lumps and bumps. Could stand an upgrade in that department.After all, the #1 reason to stay at a hotel is sleep.
Very enjoyable stay and very accommodating with an early check in without charge.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Excellent location (near the Marble Arch tube and bus station) and walkable to the Oxford street shopping, Maryleborne and much more. Some of the fixtures and furniture could do with some updating or repair. Decent value and comparable to other hotels in the neighborhood. Lots of cafe, coffee, and bakery options that offer better choice and value than the in-house breakfast. AC was appreciated. Towels were changed everyday, though we did not request this. WiFi and streaming services on the TV were a bit hit or miss. Was asked at check-in, if I was willing to cancel the Expedia booking and pay the hotel directly - the representative behind the counter only stopped pushing this after I showed her in the app that the cancellation window had already passed, etc.
