The Hotel is very well located for sightseeing since it is on the Piccadilly, Central and District lines. There are pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, a Waitrose and Tesco market within a 5 minute walk. The room was quiet and clean. I appreciated the daily cleaning service, water refills and made use of the refrigerator. The bar and restaurant were nice with good food and service. The rooms are as pictured and were comfortable. This is London so expect small rooms. Be sure to check the square footage listed on the website to avoid a surprise. I stayed 9 nights in a classic double and was very comfortable.

All staff were incredible. Very polite and welcoming. Unfortunately my electrics did not work on arrival to my suite. This took around an hour to fix which was inconvenient after a long day of travel but the maintenance man was very kind which made it better. The room was great, no fault at all. Another problem was when booking it mentioned breakfast was included with my reservation. It also says this in my confirmation but was told at reception that breakfast would be charged from my deposit at checkout which was very disappointing. I decided to go for breakfast to a nearby restaurant each day instead. Other than these 2 issues the stay was nice and quiet and the hotel is in a great location right next to the underground.

Lovely hotel. Loved the history of the building. Room very nice and clean. Location is absolutely perfect for the museums and underground. however there was one issue we had, if you are booking this hotel via expedia to include a child a spare bed is NOT included in the price! We had a unpleasent shock when at check out we were advised a bed wasnt included and it would be a further £30 for one. My heart sunk and it wasnt the start of the break we were expecting and left me feeling a bit sick at the added cost on top of what we had already paid. Thankfully the issue was resolved when a second receptionist stepped in however i wanted to add this to the review for anyone looking at staying with children. Even if youre booking for 2 adults and 1 child and add the age a bed is not included! I will be also complaining to expedia about this issue. Despite the initial issue we had a lovely stay and everything else was perfect.
