It's a ok place
Pros:

The breakfast was very good. Good quality of food. Coffee was veru nice.

Cons:

The room was hot. The fan is a table fan and so weak. We had one table fan for 3 people. I don't think it should be called hotel. It's only a bed and breakfast
We were roasting in the room. We had to sit outside the hotel because outside was cooler.

We were there in the middle of a heatwave- no air con. There was a fan- just circulating hot air. Unable to open the window too.

Suited our purpose. The towel restriction seemed mean.
Pros:

Location superb. Young friendly staff.
Provided a fan during the heat which was most appreciated. Windows opened to key breeze through,

Cons:

Carpets appeared to need a clean.
Bathroom light stopped working, phone didn’t work and we were on 3 Rd floor.
Only supplied with one small thin towel. Had to pay one pound for an extra towel. Told it was because only 2 star. Breakfast adequate but had to ask for top up when some items run out.

Pros:

Tiene una buena ubicación, con estaciones de metro y tren, también cerca de Hyde Park.

Cons:

Horario restringido, se cierra a las 22:30 hasta las 8:00, cualquier emergencia tienes que llamar por teléfono o ir a otra dirección.
No se abren las ventanas de la habitación (por lo menos la nuestra y las que dan a los balcones de la calle principal) y en nuestro caso ha sido bastante agobiante en agosto.
