I booked two rooms for a 5 day stay in London and was pleasently surprised. The building has a charming old world character, small rooms, small lift, soothing metro rumble, etc.. Originally placed in a room on the 7th floor which was quite small but moved after the first night to a more spacious room on the first floor. The... More

I took my husband here for afternoon tea as something to look forward to after just getting back from our honeymoon and I booked this as a deal from Living Social. Overall it was very average and there are better places to go in London for afternoon tea (e.g. The Milestone or The Orangery at Kensington Palace) - I wouldn't... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night (arriving late and leaving after breakfast). The room was rather small, but in absolute mint condition. Coffee and tea making facilities are available ; the bed offered me a good night sleep. I was less enthusiastic about the reception when I arrived. My impression was that my English was better than his... More

This hotel has had a recent refurbishment and the single room was larger than usual, well sound proofed and clean with good decor. Complimentary drink on first visit and free wi if throughout. The staff were pleasant and professional The only let down was... More

Hotel was great surprise, as it was recently renewed and I was upgraded to superior room on 7th floor. Room was spacious for London hotels and included flat screen TV, coffee-tea making facilities and very nice bathroom with bathtube. As there are not so many rooms on one floor, it is pretty quiet. Windows to the street are soundproof and... More
