What guests said
It was ok, nothing special, it was a birthday weekend and I’m afraid the hotel wasn’t up to much and definitely wouldn’t
7.0Staff were friendly and welcoming. However, didn’t return my earrings that were on the sink.
Room was advertised as a deluxe room, it was small, breakfast wasn’t extensive to cater for gluten free. The towels or bed weren’t changed for our second night and the tea and coffee wasn’t replaced.

Great hotel, would stay again.
9.0Nice location, 10-15 min walk from Victoria Underground Station. Modern decor, spacious triple room. Staff friendly.
Cleanliness could be better in the room, dusty in places. Could do with more hangers for clothes storage. No lift in hotel but wasn’t an issue for us with a backpack.

Clean room, nice location
Room very small. Room LG 1, right next to the kitchen dining area and was so loud it felt like we were sleeping in the kitchen.
