Quick check in. Really professional and efficient service from Abu at Reception. Room very nice and exactly as requested. Needed sheet and duvet for sofa bed - this was provided within three minutes of request. Quiet, comfortable beds and good two nights sleep. Really good price compared with local, similar hotels. I’d stay again without hesitation.

Do yourself a favor by NOT using the bar. I've been all over the world and have not ever encountered a worse hotel bar. I stood in disbelief as I watched patron after patron; people from all over, mishandled. The staff couldn't handle the simplest beverage request. The cluster of people I was standing near were all frustrated. The breakfast was very nice, though.

The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a frosted glass door which was a bit awkward if you needed to use the bathroom during the night. I did appreciate the housekeeping staff. They helped us out after my daughter was vomiting due to a migraine. All in all, it was a good hotel.

Standard wear and tear - broken door lock and a very squeaky bed frame. But the room and the property were very clean. Staff was courteous but seemed entirely unprepared for the rush of Easter weekend and we waited in line at least 15 minutes to check in. This is a great location half way between Blackfriars and Kings Cross - just take the bus!

The room was very clean and quiet considering that it was almost full. Breakfast is a little busy, but they let you know when the best time to go down is. The staff are all very helpful and the food is lovely. I'd definately stay there again.
