Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Multiple guests report inconsistent housekeeping: some rooms were described as filthy, lingering smells (cigar), stained/aged carpets and occasional dirtiness or damp under bathroom floors — cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
8.5
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly and helpful, with reception often staffed; some operational issues noted (busy reception, card/elevator problems) but overall service is a strong positive.
Location
8.8
Location is frequently highlighted as excellent — close to the metro and central for sightseeing — a consistent strength in reviews.
Room Quality
8.6
Mixed but generally positive: many mention comfortable, large beds and nicely furnished rooms; a few report small rooms or maintenance issues (doors not closing, missing hand shower).
Amenities
7.4
Amenities are mixed: good bar/restaurant and Wi‑Fi, easy parking; but recurring faults reported (broken coffee machines, elevators out of service, faulty sockets, room cards), reducing this score.
Value for Money
8.6
Several reviewers call it budget‑friendly or good for the price; given location and generally good beds/breakfast, value is viewed positively despite some service/maintenance issues.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast and restaurant receive many compliments (good selection and quality), though some guests noted limited variety or early breakfast closing and minor dislikes (pancakes).
Overall Experience
8.3
Overall impressions are positive — convenient location, comfortable beds and friendly staff — tempered by cleanliness/maintenance inconsistencies that lower some stays.

Emplacement au top, et chambre confortable
Pros:

Le confort global du logement, l’emplacement et le personnel

Cons:

Je cherche la petite bete, qui serait l’absence d’un pommeau de douche. Mais c’est vraiment un détail.

Pros:

De gezelligheid! Er was altijd iemand bij de receptie en in de avonden waren er altijd een aantal gasten bij de bar. Daarnaast waren de kamers leuk ingericht en groot.

Cons:

Hier en daar had het wat schoner gemogen. Het was niet extreem vies maar soms net niet helemaal schoon of al wat verouderd.

Für den Preis gut
Pros:

Das Bett war sehr groß und bequem. Wenn man das Zimmer nicht putzen lässt bekommt man ein Getränk umsonst. Das Personal war sehr nett. Das Zimmer war sehr groß für ein Hotel in London

Cons:

Wir hatten keine funktionierenden Steckdosen und mussten nach mehrmaligem Nachfragen das Zimmer wechseln, Essen im Restaurant wurde falsch zubereitet (nicht was bestellt), immer mal wieder gingen die Zimmerkarten nicht.

Pros:

Nothing special…

Cons:

The bed under the sheets was smelling cigar , and the sheets had also a bad smell . the bathroom door wasn’t closing very well, and it hasn’t had a hand shower so you couldn’t protect your hair from getting wet. One of the elevators was out of service (one month now…) and because of the crowd we forced to use the stairs to 4th floor many times… very bad experience. The worst is that you’re informed for the most of these from the reviews and you still don’t care about getting better …

Not what it used to be
Pros:

Location and big comfy bed

Cons:

I have stayed here more than 20 times in the last 18 months and this lovely hotel is gradually going downhill. None of tge free coffee machines work anymore, the bathrooms and falling apart with squidgy water under the floor and this time the room was filthy. This really does feel like an unloved place now.
