Clean room with a comfy bed. Good WiFi in the room.
Not worth the money in which they charge! Room was very small and very dated! For what we needed the only good thing was its location

Good location. No staff was present when I arrived to check in. Room was in fine condition. Garbage was left behind the bed, inbetween the bed and the window. No toilet paper or hand soap in the bathroom.

Staff were lovely and friendly, we even got a room upgrade which was super kind.
Absolutely wonderful! Situated in a beautiful, great location, near transportation, numerous dining options. My favorite aspect of it is that it’s near Hyde park!

When I arrived at the hotel and went into my room it was filled with black mould which I find a serious health and safety hazard especially for an establishment where you’d have people pay to stay. This is completely unacceptable and I will be dealing with this properly.
If I were 20 years old again and traveling with friends, this hotel would have been fine. The rooms were extremely small and I couldn't even turn around in the shower. Young people wouldn't mind; I did.

The receptionist was really nice but the rooms are very small and mouldy. The beds are weak and there were stains on the walls and ceilings.
