Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved this place. I was in a single room on 2nd floor and it was quiet, room clean and tidy with a comfy bed and nice bed linen. Shower was great. There was a safe in the wardrobe. Easy to walk to from underground stations. Also a 15 min walk to Natural History Museum, V&A, Royal Albert Hall. Mainly though the staff at reception were lovely and helpful. I had an issue with a gig ticket and they sorted it for me. I would have missed the event if it hadn't been for them. Would definitely recommend this place and will stay again.

I love the 3 single beds. I was there with my 2 best friends and loved the separate beds. We were able to walk safely to the Tube and loved our local Pub and other eating places. Thank you, 3 American Gals. We will be back.

Very nice hotel. Incredible staff. Not very centrally located close to "touristy" areas, but a 2 minute walk to the tube that connects you to everything. Honestly, i would stay again.

The best in hospitality.

This was my second stay and all the staff were hospitable and made my stay very pleasant. I was disappointed that the temperature in the room was not adjustable and it was a little cold. However, the service is really top notch and well worth the stay.

This was a gem of a hotel in a very desireable area of London. I felt very cozy in my single bed room that had a lovely renovated bathroom, a kettle and milk, tea and coffee and a TV.
