Great location. Convenient to public transit, the postal museum, restaurants, groceries, etc.
Pros:

The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and we loved that they have kept the character of the original old building. The fun little private bathroom was so unique, but still very functional and clean.

Très bel emplacement mais confort moyen
Pros:

L'emplacement, le personnel de l'hôtel était très accueillant et aidant, la décoration désuète mais mignonne

Cons:

Le bruit (simple vitrage côté rue, impression de dormir la fenêtre ouverte), les parties communes mal entretenues et un véritable labyrinthe pour atteindre ma chambre au 3e étage

Pros:

It is great value for central London. It's also not ensuite. Like a time warp. It's because the building is old. Still, I'll stay here again. Quirky, clean and cheap.

Pros:

Hôtel vraiment pratique (situation) et très fonctionnel. Personnel serviable. Aucun soucis.

Cons:

Escalier pour le dernier étage très étroit et raide. Pas d'ascenseur. L'insonorisation sur l'extérieur est perfectible.
