Pros:

It is great value for central London. It's also not ensuite. Like a time warp. It's because the building is old. Still, I'll stay here again. Quirky, clean and cheap.

Pros:

Hôtel vraiment pratique (situation) et très fonctionnel. Personnel serviable. Aucun soucis.

Cons:

Escalier pour le dernier étage très étroit et raide. Pas d'ascenseur. L'insonorisation sur l'extérieur est perfectible.

Perfect place for our overnight stay in transit.
Pros:

Location was perfect close to train stations.
Room was well-kept and maintenance is clearly a priority for this hotel.
A great choice of places to eat within a few hundred yards.

Cons:

Single glazing on the windows meant that there was some late-evening noise. But the street was quiet during the night so we slept well.

A Londra in centro
Pros:

Considerata la difficoltà di trovare a Londra delle strutture in centro a prezzi ragionevoli qui si trovano entrambe le cose. Bell’hotel vicinissimo a tutti i servizi e al centro. Noi abbiamo scelto stanza con bagno in comune i bagni sono tanti e sempre liberi e puliti. Ottimo tutto.

Cons:

Tutto ok
