We were given a room on the fifth floor which was hard work for tow mid sixties ladies and a small amount of luggage. Only to be done once a day! It was also soooo hot (not the hotels fault) one small fan and windows only allowed to open about 3 inches. It was a sweat box to say the least. Location perfect and staff very helpful.

Nice clean budget hotel, ideal for a single traveller (on business to London) for under £100 per night. Great pubs and eateries within 5 mins walk. Parking 100m away free between 7pm and 8am and £5 for 2 hours. Tube is 4 mins walk away and 35 mins walk to Hyde Park. I will come back here in future when Im working around here again.

The staff was excellent and helpful when our initial room was 7 floors up with no elevator. They were very helpful when they found us a room in the Phoenix, their primary hotel next door . The room there was excellent. This hotel has a lift and the breakfast room is in this building. Please note neither have air conditioning or a small bar fridge which would be nice to store some water bottles cold. The location of the hotel is excellent. Close to the underground and restaurants .

Location is ideal with plenty of choices to eat in the area. There are also a couple of convenience stores nearby. We stayed in room 12. The room was very clean and adequate for our needs. We stayed during the heatwave but the staff provided an extra fan upon request. One gripe is that the wall attachment for the shower head was not adjustable which meant that the shower head had to be held in one hand whilst taking a shower. If placed on the wall, it was impossible to use as the water sprayed high against the top of the cubicle
