Lovely little hotel, close enough for sightseeing with friendly staff.
Pros:

Friendly staff, Clean room, comfy bed, great shower, close to public transport or walking distance for sightseeing.

Cons:

We were in a basement room so no window view. Some furnishings were a bit cheap and could do with a re-fresh.

Good value but a decent walk from tube
Pros:

Clean property and very nice staff. AC was great when it was on

Cons:

Far from the tube and no second exit on top floor that I could see if there was a fire. AC was on a timer so we had to get up and put back on several times overnight or we were hot

Cosy enough but tiny and no lift
Pros:

Quite a comfy bed and good shower pressure. Amazing view. I felt like Ratatouille in London!

Cons:

So so so so tiny that the basin was the cistern! A right old slog up 4 flights of stairs with a suitcase (to be fair they did offer to carry it - poor staff if most people accept!). TV didn't work. Curtain flapped over the pillow which was a bit unhygienic, it could easily be held back. It was adequate but on balance I wouldn't stay here again.
