I had to laugh at the name, but it turns out it is the last name of the person who started the hotel and the college. It was a short walk to the British museum, which i recommend. Lots of character and very comfortable.

Great place in a quiet area of London

Just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross. Property is down a very quiet street which is rare for London. Lovely, big bed and great shower. Only a short walk to Russell Square/Southampton Row, where there are ple ty of pubs & restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break
