Good location off Russel Square and close to British Museum. Hotel infrastructure not prepared for 90 degree weather. No AC, windows barely open, no refrigerators in room unless requested (and we weren't told we could request one) difficult bathrooms with poor water pressure, very noisy street-side of building made it hard to sleep. Hotel in dire need of upgrades, friendly sympathetic staff.

First time stay and I was pleased to find it was within a reasonable distance from the main station I arrived into. Check in was quite slow and given how hot I was I was eager to get it done and up to my room. The room was pretty decent size for a single one and seemed clean and modern. It had additional things like choice of fruit teas, a packet of biscuits and a hairdryer and fan . However , it was incredibly hot even with the windows open and the fan. It was also too noisy to leave the window open overnight. I would have liked an extra towel and mug to have been provided. It was a bonus to be able to leave luggage for free while I went out and about. Lovely decoration inside, shame it isn't reflected on the outside. I would stay again but perhaps in cooler times.

Wonderful hotel, clean, staff could not do enought. Reasonably priced food and drinks for centeral London. Easy to walk to main attractions. Beautiful out door soace with pond and fountain. Due to a abnormal heat wave in London the rooms were extremely hot, dispite being provided with a fan, the heat disrupted my sleep, but not the hotels fault.
