Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were a family of 5 in a single suite which was hard to find in the area. The room was clean but shows its age. Some sockets and lights did not work and the door would not lock till they came to remove the door seal. Otherwise convenient location.
Great location for museums and tube station opposite makes everything very accessible from here. The room was great, very clean, plenty of room, good shower. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was poor, whilst the selection was pretty good the food was cold every morning.
We received a very warm welcome upon registration. Our room with a king bed was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Housekeeping visited every day and kept toiletries fully stocked. We stayed a full week and even though we didn't use the restaurant or other amenities, we found the hotel to be super well-located near plenty of eateries and extremely convenient to the London underground.
Hotel was extremely comfortable, great beds, excellent room. The staff went above and beyond with extra accommodations for us when my daughter became ill, helping us organise breakfast in our room and late check out at short
notice.
Natural History Museum is vey close by and definitely worth a visit, make sure to book in advance to avoid the queue! Plenty of amenities and dining options nearby, great transport options and a beautiful area to explore!
Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back for a return visit!
Centrally located. Easy to get to museums easy access to subway. Lots of restaurants, groceries, bakeries near by. Friendly staff, most were helpful. Took a few requests to get new towels and have sofa bed made.
Perfect location where we could hop onto the Underground and it was close to so many restaurants and museums right in the area. The staff was so friendly and professional. We will definitely keep this hotel in mind for future visits. Highly recommend!
Perfect location to see the best sites in London. Rooms are clean, staff is courteous and helpful with questions about local transit. Best of all the hotel has AC for those hot summer months!
It’s old and dark and dingy. Mattresses are not very comfortable. Bathrooms have been updated. Location is great. Breakfast is honestly horrible. Yuck.
For a family of four the room was a bit small. But overall great location, beds were very comfortable, so many dining options, and transportation was very close by. Staff was wonderful, always helpful.
