Very clean, staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast was feeling and tasty, but the best part is an evening tea with fireplace going . Fireplace room is cosy, with board games, relaxing atmosphere. My youngest son learned how to play chess ( or at least got a taste) . Tea was delicious. Location of the hotel is an extra plus too.

By far the worst hotel I’ve stayed at in London

I stayed in many different hotels over a 20 week period in London (for a work project). This has by far been the worst stay. Firstly, I arrived and there was no one at reception, I rang the bell many times and no one came for over 5 minutes. When the woman did arrive she was rude and demanding of many types of ID and even my home address? I asked why all the information was needed and she couldn’t tell me why, but wouldn’t let me stay unless I gave all of it. Next, I asked for an iron and ironing board and was told (very rudely by the curly haired woman) that they’re ‘not allowed in the hotel’(?!?). What hotel doesn’t allow irons and ironing boards? They shouldn’t be allowed to take business bookings if this is true. I have stayed at this hotel one time previously in their annex building, where there was an iron so it’s all very confusing. The room was disgustingly dirty and stank of sewage throughout my stay. Doors are very loud and bang when closed so I was woken up every night around 4/5am by doors being banged and people (sounded like staff) speaking loudly. Avoid if you can, plenty of better options available throughout London.

The rooms need alarm clocks or phones. You cannot get a wake up call. Also the site isnt explicite enough. You should know up front whether it is en suite or no. We didn't. Plus another couple checking in didn't know about their room. Staff extremrly nice, helpful. Breakfast was doable (missed hot foods).. Hot drinks in lounge very appreciated.

The location of the place is very doubtful. On our way there two people pretended to be police and asked us to search our bags and wallet( very unusual for a police staff). Nothing happened to us as we are good in making a scene to attract people nearby’s attention. Second event was we are going back to this place at 2330HR and as we are entering our code a lady is screaming nearby telling us to let her in. We didn't do it and we closed the door as fast as we can. Having this two incident I think location wise this is not safe. On the lighter note, their staff are superb. Ann their desk staff is very accommodating and when we relayed to her what happened about the police she encouraged us to report this to the police hotline and warned us that this incident happened to one of their guest before. The breakfast was perfect. No complains as everything is delicious and well put together. Cleanliness is amazing.

Climbing up 4 flights of stairs was frustrating in spite of me complaining of a painful knee nothing could be done, apart from offering another room at a cost of 100 pounds more. The toilet and shower was in miniature size. It was so difficult to even turn around. Sink in ro clogged. Carpet under sink has grossildew. Room smely with old cigarette smoke and damp smell. Staff were pleasant tjough

Nice neighborhood and friendly staff. Room was cleaned well daily. Bathroom is small, as noted by others; it might be tough for a larger person to move around in there. It was nice to have a little breakfast each morning. I know others commented on the breakfast, so I was not sure what to expect. It consisted daily of: hard-boiled eggs, croissants, 3 different cereals, bread to toast, jams, butter, cheese, juice, coffee, tea, and milk. So if you are expecting a hot breakfast, that's not what you will get. But it was good enough for me. And the staff was very good at replenishing food and beverage as well as cleaning tables quickly. It is a good location, west of the city. About a 15 minute walk to the tube station, but a short walk to the main street, where buses were running all the time.
