The staff were great; especially appreciated Siobhan at the front desk. We ended up having to extend our stay an extra night and it went very smoothly. I had reserved a garden view room and didn't receive that so was a little disappointed.

Great stay. Highly recommended. Turned up early and was allowed to check in to my room to freshen-up after a long journey before heading out to meet friends for brunch. Staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed in a single room facing Southampton Row. A bit noisy during the day (there was a protest on though!), but not too bad at night. I always take earplugs with me when I stay at Hotels, so this wasn’t an issue for me. The room was nice and clean, and surprisingly spacious for London! The bed was very comfortable and I had a really good night’s sleep. The location is great too and was able to walk everywhere I needed to go. Will definitely return. Thank you.

The hotel has clearly undergone some extensive renovation work in the past few years and as a result, the interior of the building, particularly the lobby and restaurant areas, were very clean and modern. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout. The location was extremely convenient for central London. Unfortunately, I had booked a single room which came with a conjoining door which connected to the next room. Some attempt had been made to seal this doorway, however all they had used was a single board of thin wood to separate the rooms, which offered absolutely no soundproofing. When my neighbour came back to their room, I could hear every word they said as if they were sitting next to my bed and as I tried to sleep, I could hear them loudly scrolling through TikTok until the early hours of the morning. This was not ideal as I had a very early start the next day and this greatly impacted on the quality of my sleep. Additionally, there was no cold water coming from any of the taps in the bathroom – only hot and extremely hot. Although this meant I able to take a shower in the morning, there was unfortunately no cold drinking water available during my stay.
