Lovely homely hotel in a great location for West End and City. And only 5 mins walk to trains for airport. This property felt like a home from home and is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Wonderful neighborhood, with easy access to the tube. Really central location so it was very easy to get around. The room was comfortable and cozy, and the hotel itself was quirky and cute. Friendly staff, and the breakfast was amazing. Worth the money to include it in your stay! Thank you!

Funky hotel

The hotel is very eclectic and fun, the room was small but with a four poster bed and the shower was excellent - really powerful. It was a shame that scaffolding was up but the hotel had told us prior to us arriving and there was no noise. Location is good too. The only downside was breakfast. The buffet selection was very poor with nothing being replenished. The cooked order was good but not what we’d actually ordered. We didn’t flag it and just ate what arrived as it had taken a while. So to sum up, a small boutique hotel with funky furnishings in a good location, just breakfast that we felt was below par.
