"Me gustó mucho su ubicación y los cuartos estaban cómodos y en buenas condiciones. Lo que no me gustó mucho es la cantidad de gente que había. Había que hacer xolas para los desayunos. Pero en general todo estuvo bien."

"Clean room, everything was very modern. Bathroom showers were private with a great shower head and hot water! Blowdryers provided. Pods are small but it’s nice to have the privacy. They’re very soundproof, I couldn’t hear anything from the other pods. Very secure with the QR codes and very safe. In a great location. AC worked well. Especially for a solo traveler, highly recommend! The outlet in my pod stopped working, I went to the front desk, and they immediately moved me to a new one. Good customer service."

8/10 Good
"The hotel is very central for a few days in London. The reception staff were lovely and very helpful. We had stayed here last year and even though there had been renovations we felt we got a better room with amenities last year. This year room was smaller, hardly any natural light (not good for somebody with dodgy eyesight) and was very disappointed that the rooms were no longer equipped with a fridge. Also for the size of the hotel we felt more lifts would have been useful. That being said if you are going to be out all day and evening exploring London and just need a room to sleep and shower this could be for you."

"Great hotel and amazing location. Some of the rooms don’t have the best AC and we were there while it was cooler and even rained one night. Luckily they switched our room to their cooler kept rooms (they said some rooms vary with the ac since it’s an older building). They have the best service and love their restaurants in the hotel. Definitely recommend."
