Pros:

Cozy! I wish there was an extra fan in the room because we spend a few days during the heatwave and the room felt like a sauna.
The shared bathroom was clean! WiFi is an 8/10 as sometimes it lagged. Was a 15-minute walk from St. Pancras station

At $248 per night, I don't feel this hotel offered good value for the price. Based on our experience
Pros:

The staff were friendly, courteous, and genuinely tried to accommodate our concerns. They were professional and did their best to help throughout our stay.

Cons:

The hotel has no elevator, although I didn't mind carrying my luggage up four flights of stairs. The carpets from the entrance to our room were old, dirty, and had an unpleasant odor. The biggest issue was that the hotel has no air conditioning. During our stay, the temperature reached 93°F (34°C), and the room was extremely hot, stuffy, and poorly ventilated. Even with two fans provided by the hotel, the room remained unbearably hot, and we were unable to sleep comfortably.
