Reviews and Ratings
When I needed to be in London for business, the hotel was quite disappointing regarding the rooms with stains on the walls. However, the location was great, just a 5-minute walk from the tube station, making it convenient for exploring the city. The service was a mix of helpfulness and negativity. Overall, a mediocre stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel had a mixed experience. The rooms varied depending on the location in the converted terrace houses, with some feeling cramped and prison-like with barely opening windows while others felt more spacious. Stains on the walls were a letdown, making it seem like staying in different hotels at the same time. The service was exceptional with helpful and friendly staff but stained by the inappropriate communication received via email.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the nearest tube station and close to central London, making it convenient for exploration. The rooms, however, were a letdown, feeling cramped and poorly maintained. The service provided was friendly overall, but there were instances of inappropriate communication. The facilities were average, lacking any standout features. Dining options were limited to soup only, which was disappointing.
The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the nearest tube station in London, making it easy to access all the main attractions. The rooms were spacious, but unfortunately, some had stains on the walls and the outside floor was not well-maintained. Overall, a decent option in an expensive city.
The hotel is ideally located, just a short walk from the nearest tube station and close to central London. The rooms vary in quality depending on the section of converted terrace houses you are in; some may need improvement. The service was a mix, with some instances of unprofessional communication. The hotel's dining options were satisfactory if you enjoy smoked fish dishes, and the facilities were decent but could use some upgrades.
