    spacious room
    friendly staff
    outdated bathroom
    inconvenient taps
    stuffy room

    A spacious beautiful single room offered a comfortable stay with all essential amenities and a pleasant view of the garden. The on-site breakfast included delicious homemade jams, but the bathroom, while clean, had outdated fittings, and the separate taps for hot and cold water were inconvenient. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful.

    Nice Reception and efficient staff. Used Bar late on - friendly staff.

    My overall 'Good' experience was marred by a situation that wasn't the Hotel's fault - other than having thin walls between rooms. The person in the adjacent room had a terrible cough - frankly sounded like bronchitis - and coughed all night!

    I loved that I could walk to Trafalgar Square in just 15 minutes while enjoying the friendly and helpful service every morning during breakfast, which really made my stay feel cute and nice.

    The location provides easy access to public transport. I appreciated the cozy bed in my Standard Single Room, made unwinding after a long day simple enough.

    The walls are paper-thin, leading to a lively exchange of sounds from neighboring rooms, such as conversations and TV noise, which could test anyone's patience. The shower temperature fluctuated wildly. One moment it was icy cold and the next, scalding hot without any input from me. The check-in process around 3am was slightly odd. The lobby was dimly lit and finding my reservation took longer than expected in the darkness. The absence of air conditioning created a bit of a challenge during warmer nights, and without a fridge, accessing a cool drink became a minor hassle.

    The location is convenient with good access to public transport. The traditional attractions are easily reachable. The standard twin room offered a lovely garden view.

    The room size felt slightly cramped for two people.
