Liked: Cleanliness
Location is very good , clean rooms .
The only thing is the shower, difficult to check the temperature without being inside the shower due the shower head point out to the door, all the water comes out.
Good hotel
If you want to spend 1,2 nights in London.
Staff kind and helpful. Room on floor one fine except for a noise that I suspect emanates from a neighbouring building. But I slept well on the second night, notwithstanding.
We were upgraded to a room with air con - very nice clean room, very comfortable beds. Robes, choice of coffee and staff very helpful. Paid for breakfast which was very good for the price. Would stay again as 2 mins to British Museum and 5 from tube station
Room and bathroom spotless, easy check in, breakfast lovely, beautiful staircase at rear of building. Shower hot and powerful, fixed overhead spray. Room needed more sockets.
Room is very dated and worn.
No complimentary water although my friends room had it (same room type).
No chain on door, again my friend's room had one.
Lift was not working.
Staff were friendly.
Booked the day before for a last min trip. Bargain price in January. Friendly helpful staff. We were early for checkin but just wanted to drop a bag off to go out for the day but our room was ready so we were able to go straight to it. It was a cold room on 7th floor, but there was an oil heater in the room which I’m glad I put on before we went out to take the chill out the air for coming back in. Had we waited until we got in it would’ve been freezing. There’s only one lift which is really slow and small 3/4 people max, 2 with luggage, so you may need to wait a while for it if you are unable to use the stairs especially At checkout times. Room was ideal near Holborn station and Russel square, 10/15min walk from Euston station. 15min walk to Covent Garden. Lots of eating places/coffee shops on your doorstep. Perfect for a one night 2 day trip to London and would use again if I was able to source again a cheap price.
Lovely property. Great breakfast. Comfortable bed.
