A lovely hotel, friendly staff and good rooms and breakfast.
Pros:

Excellent location for visiting London sights. The hotel team were so very helpful and accommodating. Was able to leave luggage early and on check out day allowed us to leave bags until the afternoon. Lovely full English breakfast and good choice for continental breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing we noticed.

Waardeloze teleurstellende hotelkamer,matig ontbijt, redelijk vriendelijk personeel, locatie goed
Pros:

Ontvangst bij aankomst was vriendelijk. Kamer was direct teleurstelling. Locatie van hotel was goed.

Cons:

Tweepersoonskamer met aparte bedden was rampzalig, grootte van treincoupe. Geen kastruimte, paar hangers aan de muur. Erg benauwd, twee tafelventilatoren en een plafondventilator, kamer bloedheet. Heel lawaaiig, aan de straatkant. Badkamer piepklein. Na klacht reactie :"dat horen we vaker, hotel volgeboekt". Zagen kamers in hotel die er beter uitzagen, wij wellicht slechtste kamer en dat voor hoofdprijs : Euro 1.648,27 voor 7 nachten. Eerste keer, na al die boekingen jarenlang bij Booking, helemaal niet blij!

Centraal en comfortabel
Pros:

De locatie ligt zeer centraal en dichtbij verschillende metrostations. Ook ligt het dichtbij St Pancras Int.

Cons:

De drukte van de weg was af en toe best heftig. Wij hadden ook wel de ramen openstaan omdat het erg warm was was.

Le petit dej buffet bien .. le British fut proposé .. ma fille l’a pris 1 fois/6 non payées je ne l’aurais pas pris
Pros:

La chambre ne fut pas tel que je l’aurais espéré comme les photos dans le descriptif.. 3e étage j’ai pu voir les autres chambres .. elles étaient bien .. la mienne .. pas du tout .. j’étais avec ma fille .. mais si je fut avec un amoureux !! Une calamité.. le descriptif pas la réalité du vendu .. et .. choisi .. et il est vrai .. la confirmation.. après vérification . La prochaine fois .. je commande en directe avec l’hôtel
une vrai différence.. un lit 1.30-1..50.. qui prendrait
ça ? Si j’avais puis avoir les photos de la chambre, j’aurais été plus attentive à ce que j’aurais pu choisir.
Mais entre 1 lit double 180cm et 1 de 80 et un autre lit de 1.30-50m ça n’existe pas en France .. surtout si je fus en couple .

Cons:

La chambre !! Elle est penchée non compensée avec le lit !! Porte avec 3-4 ça de décalage !! Dommage si amoureux .. Pas de Clim malgré heureusement 1 ventilateur !! La promiscuité !
Enfin, soit …. je m’attendais à une chambre comme sur les photos que j’ai vu et à aucun moment, je n’ai vu la photo dont, j’ai dû faire la mienne pendant six jours

Pros:

Hôtel central, proche de plusieurs gares.

Cons:

Petite chambre sous les toits, sans ascenseur et sans climatisation, ce qui aurait été bien dans la chaleur de l'été.
Quand on utilise l'eau dans la salle de bain, une mauvaise odeur se répand dans la chambre. Nous avons prévenu la dame à la réception car nous souhaitions changer de chambre, mais elle n'en avait pas d'autres chambres disponibles.

Pros:

The location was good. Shower room was ok.

Cons:

The room was tiny - just room for 2 x single beds with about 30 cms between them. Filthy under the beds. Found 2 items in the floor left by previous occupants. Breakfast was very poor - bacon was dried up, mushrooms poached in water and cheap baked beans. Price was very high for such poor facilities. Towels were very small - certainly not bath towels. It was very hot which I know is not their fault but they provided us with 1 very small and ineffective fan. The mattress on 1 of the beds was so saggy and old they had put another mattress on top
