Rooms were nice, but hotel not really clean throughout, had a pair of shoes from a previous customer left in the room which were covered in dust behind the mid room curtain. Slightly disappointed overall.

The location is excellent, central and convenient yet away from the tourist areas, and the staff were most helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable, with good heating, comfortable bedding and suitable appliances. On the downside, the room felt dark in spite of the numerous light fixtures, and the hallway corridors could benefit from more frequent hoovering. Also, the shower grab bar seemed inadequately located, which made entering and exiting a bit unsafe. Overall, however, we were happy with our stay.

First off John at the front desk was great. Super friendly and checked us in quickly. The room we had was the studio suite. It came with a two burner stove, large fridge, a dishwasher and a washer dryer combo. Unexpected but perfect for our 10 day trip. The staff was always helpful but the room was only cleaned once for our stay. That was fine. We got toilet paper when we needed it and if you needed it you could tell the desk and housekeeping would empty your trash. The bed was very comfortable. The only issue was the tub/shower drained slow. All in all a great way to visit London.
