Comfy stay, calm quiet atmosphere- great staff. Will book again - perfect for a long busy weekend in London.
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay
The staff were really kind and helpful.
The place was clean and pleasant.
Great location and I will book in future. Great coffee and breakfast was spot on.
Even a great selection of vegan milks. Maybe more vegan options for my sister would have been great but other wise fab!
Reception were great and efficient.
Thank you !

Pros:

Ho trascorso insieme alla mia famiglia un paio di giorni nell'hotel. ci siamo trovati molto bene. La posizione è ottima vicino ai mezzi di trasporto e al centro. Il check-in 24h su 24 è un plus per questo albergo. Ottima e varia colazione. Personale gentile e albergo pulito.

Cons:

Da rivedere un po' il mobilio un po' datato.

Good value your money in a good location
Pros:

Very good value for the money, especially as it's in such a good location, mid way between kings cross and soho. Small but clean room, very comfy bed and good continental breakfast with fresh juice, filter coffee and nice pastries. Check in and out was very quick and painless

Buena ubicación. Limpio y buen desayuno. Personal atento y agradable.
Pros:

Tenia muy buena ubicación y varias estaciones de metro cerca. El hotel estaba limpio y era cómodo. Éramos 3 en la habitación y el espacio estaba muy bien. Ofrece un desayuno bueno y variado.

Cons:

Por poner alguna pega, éramos 3 en la habitación y uno de nosotros tenía que dormir en el sofá cama, el cual no resultó ser demasiado cómodo, pero por lo demás bien.

AVOID THIS PLACE
Pros:

Location is very accesible to museums.

Cons:

I asked for a queen room and we got a tiny bed where we barely fit.
Requested an accesible room for my partner who has a disability, they gave us the room in the 3rd floor, no lift. When I asked to change the room, as it was their fault, they did not provide a solution nor assistance.
The bathroom was so small you had to open the door when sitting in the toilet.
On the second day, it was 3pm and the room was not cleaned yet.

Not recommended at all...

Pros:

Un hôtel calme, ambiance pension de famille,, très bien placé proche du British muséum et pratique pour se déplacer à pieds comme en train et en métro. Le personnel est très aimable. La chambre pour trois est spacieuse. Le petit déjeuner était bien.

Cons:

On entend le bruit du couloir et des canalisations mais cela n'empêche pas de dormir. Les parties communes pourraient être un peu rafraichies.

Pros:

Bra läge, trevlig personal, bra frukost! Skön säng och rent rum

Cons:

Lyhört men ha med öronproppar om du är känslig. Är man en person som inte vaknar lätt så märker man det nog inte.

Ottimo soggiorno
Pros:

Posizione centralissima, perfettamente collegata da bus e stazioni della metro. Personale accogliente, presente e disponibile. Camera pulita, piccola e con moquette ma nello standard di Londra, però accogliente e con tutti i comfort: Smart tv, scaldino, bagno pulito con phon e teli, armadio con cassaforte. Letto comodo e con biancheria pulita. Consiglio vivamente il soggiorno per il rapporto qualità prezzo

Cons:

Colazione poco varia, mancanza di ascensore

good value for long weekend
Pros:

The hotel has a premium location, just a few steps from the underground station and with plenty of restaurants within a short walking distance.

Cons:

It was a bit uncomfortable, as we couldn’t open the window to let fresh air into the room.
