It was a great stay inn the right part of London. A pity the lift wasn't working. Room wasn't made up until the afternoon and the shower was a challenge, could have done with a shelf because impossible to bend over without opening the door. Staff friendly and helpful.

The room is the tiniest I have ever been in! You can open your suitcase only by laying it on the bed. The elevator was tiny, like in a doll house. Very claustrophobic. The hotel itself is very clean, smells nice, with lovely toiletries.

I had a single room which was small but functional. The location of this hotel is excellent being near the Gloucester Road tube and also buses. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating and the building was decent enough. Would certainly stay again, but maybe in a double room.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful and we got a complimentary upgrade. They also gave us a discount on the dinning room for anything. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable Location was perfect for the natural history museum or V&A.

The room was fine, it was clean and tidy. I don't have any issues with this element. However, I was woken by one the hotel staff knocking on my door after midnight, apparently requiring an iron and ironing board which was delivered previously. I am deeply unhappy about this interruption at this time of night. This is not acceptable.

The room we had was very small but we only stayed for 1 night so that was fine. The room was very clean and the shower over the bath was excellent. Plenty of tea and coffee available. The bar was great and full of character. We didn’t stay for breakfast as i thought £25 per head was a bit expensive, however lots of guest did. The hotel was only 20 min walk from the Royal Albert hall. And a very short walk to the tube station, so all in all, it got the thumbs up for our short stay:)

Hotel, staff, location, facilities all excellent. Super comfy bed. Only downside was our room location, in the basement (not an issue in itself), but next to the external door / laundry room for the cleaners so we were disturbed early morning.
