Small rooms, but was expecting that. Breakfast was good and nice to have. The closet door which was the bathroom door could be updated. A little loud at points due to the many doors in the hallways. Good value, and a great location. Near 2 tube stops, some restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

Had difficulty getting to bathroom as there was a small gap between bed and wall I had to squeeze through. The room was L shaped. Cramp. Clean room, good location. But would not recommend. Was disappointed.
Single room. Bathroom is right hand side of window, accessed by this small gap between bed and wall.

We were in the basement family room with a fire exit door in the bathroom. Around 4:30AM, someone broke in through the fire exit door and stole all four phones, my husband’s wallet, his watch, and my daughter’s AirPods. This was all while we were sleeping in the room.

We enjoyed our stay at The Princes Square Hotel, the rooms were a good size for a 2 night stay. They had all we need. The staff were limited with conversation and the night could be a bit loud with doors banging as they don’t shut quietly. Overall we had a good stay and would return if needed to stay in that part of London.

Originally assigned to a subterranean level room, which was not agreeable. But staff upgraded us the next night to an upper floor at no additional charge, which was much appreciated. Nice hotel and location. Just be sure to confirm room location beforehand.

The staff was super friendly, the bathroom was newly renovated, although i can hear construction noises first thing in the morning and the walls are thin and I can hear my neighbors. Location is amazing though, so i highly recommend this hotel.
