Nice staff on reception. Our room was clean and quiet but terribly hot and stuffy all night, even with windows open. Good location for the Eurostar which is why we stayed.

While from the outside it looks like just a normal basic hotel on a quiet street, my wife and I found this hotel to be our favorite on our long trip around the UK. Staff is wonderful, the bar is basic but makes a great G&T, breakfast on a sunny patio. Located close to Charing Cross, Euston and St. Pancras rail stations and Underground, getting there and getting around London is easy. Lots of good restaurants all around. Even though there is no lift and you have to schlep your luggage up a winding staircase, it's worth it.

With the price, the shower water pressure, the bedding are surprisingly good! Perfect location, room is a bit small but for a short trip is enough. It’d be great if there’s a mini fridge or if we can store our food in the fridge.
