The room had recently been refurbished and was in excellent condition. Very clean, with comfortable bedding and a beautiful bathroom. Sadly, no air-con, which would be a problem in summer. Recommended.

Much, much better value than other big name hotels in the area. Convenient walk from Euston station. I didn’t have the breakfast so can’t comment on that. At the price, no complaints.

It's a very large hotel with lots of people coming and going, which gives you a sense of security. The rooms have been renovated and are clean. However, the lack of air conditioning is an important consideration when traveling in the summer.

The room was good but no AC made it a bit stuffy. While the evening was cool enough, leaving the window open to a noisy street below was not an all night option.
