Pros:

Tout était très bien, emplacement près de tout, propreté, confort matelas, équipement...

Cons:

Le seul point négatif est la taille de la salle du petit déjeuner. Il a fallu attendre pour avoir une place mais rien de grave.

Location is great as long as you like to walk

Lovely room
Top floor no lift which was fine for me
Was quiet except for a noisy neighbour!
Breakfast was fine - continental buffet
I’d def stay again

Cons:

The shower in my room didn’t drain well
But i told reception and he made a note to sort
Other than that I can’t fault it

Cons:

It was a terrible room. It smelled really bad, the air conditioner wasn't working, it was hot, the bathroom was very small, and we didn't even have a wardrobe. The view from the window was of a basement that smelled awful, so we couldn't even open the window.

Harry Potter's under stairs cupboard.
Pros:

Nothing much.

Cons:

The room was ridiculously tiny! A room you couldn't swing a hamster in (no hamsters were harmed in this analogy). I led in bed and touched one wall with my head and the end wall with my feet. The side walls I could touch without outstretched arms and I can open the bathroom door from the bed. It's smaller than Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs. I felt like Gulliver in Lilliput! Barely slept at all because everytime I moved I hit a wall. There were no surfaces to put anything on, no room for a chair or table - making a cup of tea was a challenge and had to sit either high on a small shelf, the floor or the bed.. You had to turn sideways to get on to the toilet and into the shower.

Great Location For Visiting Theatres And Restaurants
Pros:

Location is great - twenty minute walk to the theatres and restaurants - 15 minute walk to Euston station.
Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast was good - plenty of choice for a nice continental breakfast.
Lovely walk in shower.
Hotel has kerb appeal.
Great communication from hotel.

Cons:

Our room was on the lower ground floor. It was dark and claustrophobic.
We didn't sleep well - the extra bed had a mattress with the springs coming through.

Good location but that's about it.
Pros:

The location is great. Just around West End and University campus. Security was good.

Cons:

Room was tiny, super hot (they provided a cheap desk fan which was not much help), the room was not particularly clean either.

Pros:

Fin beliggenhed, hvor meget var i gå afstand.

Cons:

Synes morgenmad og selve restauranten var dårlig. Vi spiste morgenmad ude og det var jo egentligt med i prisen, så det blev en merudgift.
