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.

NOT a 4 Star Hotel

The only reason this hotel is so expensive is the location. The service was good and the room was spacious and well air conditioned but the bed is on the floor which was a bit weird and the shower smelled terrible. They tried to help me scan and send some documents but it didn’t work. The breakfast was only available for 2 hours and it was dried out and so warm downstairs I was afraid the milk/yogurt might be spoiled. No views in the breakfast room. Overall it was not bad since I was mostly just sleeping there but personally I feel it was overpriced.

Nice, boutique hotel in a nice part of London. The rooms were spacious and very nice for being in the middle of the city. Staff seemed a little confused by things, but that could have just been an off day.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel, but some room for improvement include providing at least breakfast options And ensuring that repairs are kept up. There was a broken tile in our bathroom, which posed a little bit of risk of cutting your feet. We put towels over this broken tile to Avoid injury
