Staff were great! Room was way too small, had no AC (they did provide a fan tho), the bathroom was uncomfortably small and the shower head was not working the first night until maintenance fixed it the next day. The plus to this hotel is location. Everything is in walking distance.

Very nicely located hotel. Directly at the heart of London, and very convenient for accessing the British museum. Nice cozy and clean room, very helpful staff especially when I forgot my toothbrush, clean bathroom, and has everything you need. The only slight negative that I'd note is that you can hear every loud door bang outside in the hallway. But the hotel provides you with earplugs to try to negate that.

I did the single room, it was perfect for a solo traveler,& maybe a couple who doesnt mind sharing space. It was just enough & had everything I needed. The lobby seemed to have AC & the Garden bar was very nice. Great area also! Walking distance of many attractions/tourist areas
