  • Great location, noisy room

    7.0

    Location. Staff were friendly and approachable

    The room. I arrived late and although the room was small it was clean and suitable for what I needed. However the was a generator noise all night which kept me awake. So my sleep was very poor.

    Excellent location, Clean and Friendly.

    There are no shelves or stool or place to put anything in the bathroom. There is no mirror in the room, only one in the bathroom. There is also limited cupboard space

    1.0

    It was central

    Where do I begin: 1. The hotel staff front desk clerk was arrogant and non compliant when checking in, i had given my name, though it was made to seem like i didn’t book at all. 2. The hotel was really outdated and the room which was advertised on booking.com didn’t live up to the pictures as a tourists i would think…

    8.0

    Location and air conditioning. The staff were really lovely, very helpful and welcoming (apart from one of the barmen who was a bit rude ) . There’s also a lovely reception area.

    The room was a little dated and small but better than most equivalent London Hotels
