Overnight stay

Service was great. Location for the conference being attended, good. General condition seemed good though may have seen better days. The room was fine for an overnight stay, but I found the bed too hard for my preferences.

Great location; across street from Hyde Park and close to transit stations. Beautiful old building and rooms were adequately sized, but the decor needs attention. I understand that they are going for a retro ‘70’s vibe, but it just looks shabby and old and needs some refreshing. Smells a bit musty too. It could be really beautiful on the inside if some updating was done. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay.

Our check-in was seamless, and our stay was perfect. Biscuits and tea bags were provided in our room each day, which made for a lovely start to the day. Easy walk to several tube stops. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Liked the old school style of building and that the rooms were very clean yet very small. Would be good to have a proper coffee machine in the room and mini bar fridge.

The stay was pretty good, the room was ok but the bathroom was clearly out of date. There was also a very strange layout of the rooms on the floor but it wasnt too big of a deal. It also had a large elevator so even if several people were in there with large luggage it was not an issue.
