The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.
Pros:

The Good: Clean. Courteous staff
Comfortable beds

One of few hotels offering 2 beds in a single room in London (not a cot). We booked the “Family Room”

The Bad: Tiny 2 story family room where 40% of room area is made up of stairs to upper bed

The Ugly: Not for vacationers! 1 person: OK. 2 persons: a challenge! 3 persons: Impossible!

Arrival. Lift to 3rd floor, then down 8 steps, then up 3 steps with luggage. Brutal! On every floor the elevator stops on a half floor requiring steps to your room. Use a porter should you decide to stay here. If you have small luggage, it’s easier.

The room: Minimal floor space. Challenging to get passed each other to navigate room with three people

No seating other than a small stool that is always in the way

No drawers. No closet. No place for clothing. No furniture. No luggage racks.

Suitcases needed to be opened on the floor to access clothing, making maneuvering more challenging.

One set of shallow pegs for hanging clothing, that overlap. Nearly enough for 5 garments.

There is space on the on both floors for them to have added closets, but there are none. Not even hooks on open wall space. Twenty Two steps up to the loft area with the second bed with two turns.

Smaller than the smallest cruise ship cabin

Small desk filled with coffee set up. I had to move it under the bed just to accommodate cell phone charging and personal items etc

Needed to use staircase and window sills for shoes and other storage

Bathroom 3 x 2.5. Tiny!
One bathroom hook to hang wet towels. Nearly enough room for a single person. Will not accommodate a large person (250 lbs or more)

Bathroom shelves were filled with towels and extra bathroom tissue leaving no space for personal items.

Shallow space at faucet in corner of sink. You can just about get your hands under it.

Insufficient lighting in bathroom to do anything. Walls are black making it even darker.

Light switches handle both floors. You can’t light certain areas without lighting both floors. Tough for anyone sleeping late on the alternate floor. Light switch wars!🤪

Room is bad for families. Hardly enough room for one. Beware! This hotel might be good for a single business traveller or back packer. Thats about it. Even this “family” room was difficult for more than one person.

Tight and cramped accommodations. No space for clothing. No closet, no drawers.
Pros:

The breakfast wasn’t complimentary as you might believe from the hotel info provided. It was a buffet and was adequate

Cons:

The Good: Clean. Courteous staff
