Pros:

The staff were all lovely, very helpful and friendly
The rooms were fantastic, I was lucky enough to view 3 rooms and they were all unique. The attention to detail was incredible. I usually stay in big name hotels, that are cold with no personality, in future when I visit my son I will be staying here..

Nice location
Pros:

Very quiet room and I liked the location with the pub downstairs for a drink or meal.

Cons:

Too many stairs to the room without an offer to take bags up. Overall very expensive for the quality and size of the room and level and service.

My stay was disappointing!
Pros:

Location

There are some nice touches in the room ie: a well stocked mini bar / hairdryer/ iron/ comfortable bed and nice bed linen / nice toiletries although they were part used.

Cons:

No attention to to detail.
The room was in need of refreshing, particularly the bathroom which wasn’t clean enough.
The public areas are in need of refreshing ie paintwork, carpets etc.
The staff need training.
The outside areas are untidy.

Super location for us and comfortable room

Comfortable bed & room. Fantastic location for us.

Pros:

Lovely pub, great location, breakfast was fantastic, mini bar well stocked and not ridiculous prices, Nespresso machine and pods in room

Cons:

Rooms and areas look tired now. Probably decorated 8-10years ago and carpets, paintwork etc needs a refresh. A little noisy but maybe that was just location of our room (16) being near stairwell. Mattress was very hard for us and bed was king which for £250/n id expect super king (guess that’s only where in can practically fit in a room). Overall just didn’t quite feel like the price point matched the feel

Great place to stay in London if you don't want to stay in Central London
Pros:

windmill on the common is a great place to stay when visiting London, short walk to tube to get to central london, 20 minute walk to Clapham Junction junction to get to Hampton Court
Room lovely everything you needed, Air Con was a great help
Couldn't hear the pub at all when in our room

Cons:

This is a tiny moan, we were on ground floor so could hear people coming in later on and the staff on reception but this wasn't for long and wouldn't say isn't an issue
5/10 mins walk either way to a tube station, walked on main road at night rather than walking on common as felt safer
