It was crazy hot when we were here but the property doesn't have AC. Usually in England, that's not a problem! Big room, nice bedding, twin beds were helpful & big mirrors for getting ready. Bathroom was a good size.

The hotel is in a great location , rooms are relatively clean ( bit of dirt in bathroom unfortunately) but no air conditioning so rooms extremely hot. The hotel has put fans in the rooms though. One thing to mention - there are not enough plug sockets in the rooms! On the whole the hotel is good value for money

The room as clean, place it's self was fine, hot as hell during a heat wave in summer no AC and 4£ for water... Also staff messed up the booking after I had called to let them know I would be checking in a day later.
Don't go during summer 🌞⛱️
Staff is wonderful and property is modern and clean but noise from outside is very audible in room as is sounds (talking and/or television at regular volume) from next room. Also, elevator is incredibly slow and small.
Positives: great location, clean, tea &
Coffee facilities, hot water
Negatives: floors creak like hell, walls are paper thin, you can hear everything, bathroom tiny, bed incredibly uncomfortable,
The room was lovely. Staff were very friendly. I didn't get a chance to try the breakfast, which I regret, but it always smelled wonderful. There are many restaurants and coffee shops in easy walking distance. One thing to consider is that the hotel is on a busy street, and if you are not used to sleeping with traffic noises and the sounds of people enjoying nearby pubs, you might want to consider noise-blocking earbuds. I didn't need them but my traveling companion in the next room bought them after the first night. They slept soundly after that.
The hotel was clearly falling down as it had structural scaffolding inside holding up the building inside and sticking out of the walls in the room which the advertisement did not mention. The walls are cracked and the furniture old and tired. Staff were ok and friendly enough. Beds were clean and comfortable. Amenities liked water worked well.
Had a 7th floor room with a couple really cool views out of the narrow, tall bathroom windows. Great bed, good shower. I’d say ask for the 7th floor! But note the elevator (“lift”) only goes to the 6th, then you have to walk a short flight of stairs, so guests with mobility issues won’t want to be higher than the 6th.
Location is amazing - our favourite part of London
