Good value and location, tiny room.
Pros:

The location was great and the price was also very good value. The room was clean and air conditioned and although very small, it did the job.

Cons:

The room was absolutely tiny and the bathroom minuscule. I was glad to only be there one night and to not have much time between arriving and going to sleep. There was a rectangular window high up, close to the ceiling, so you couldn't see out unless you stood on the bed. It was a little claustrophobic.

Short stay in single rooms
Pros:

Good location near to tube station. We were attending BST at Hyde Park which was about 40 mins walk away. My single room was a comfortable size for 1 person but my Sisters was a slightly different layout & felt smaller - still ok for a short stay though! Aircon was great!

Cons:

Rooms had a bit of a smell but think it was their cleaning products. Only gripe is that I had to hold shower head when showering to avoid getting hair wet with rainfall shower.

Pros:

My tiny room at the top of the house was perfect for my overnight stay! Fortunately there’s a lift that took me to the door of the room. As London was quite warm, the efficient air conditioning was very welcome. The location is super convenient near Cromwell Road (lots of buses) a minutes from Gloucester Road underground station. The staff are friendly, efficient people.

The perfect place to stay!
Pros:

Emplacement formidable. Nous y reviendrons. Je ne comprends vraiment pas les commentaires négatifs. Personnel à l écoute, accueillant, souriant, chambres propres et faites tous les jours. C était parfait. Un excellent rapport qualité prix, qd on sait le prix des hôtels à Londres!

Cons:

Les oreillers un peu trop volumineux à mon goût.
