Fairly pleasant but hot

I stayed recently with my husband and our son. Check in was smooth and straightforward. The rooms are clean and relativity spacious but quite uncomfortable in the August heat as there is no air conditioning. We were given a small table fan but it didn't make much difference. The beds were fairly comfortable. Breakfast was well organised despite how busy it was. I'd like to see some more vegetarian options but that's personal preference. Our room was at the front of the hotel so it was quite noisy at night with the road traffic and the pub especially as it was a warm evening. My son struggled to slerp. Other than that our stay was pleasant but not sure I'd return in the summer heat.

The room and bathroom was clean and we felt safe in the hotel. Breakfast was good. Our only challenge was the lack of air movement in the room. We knew there was no air conditioning but it was hot and the room was very stuffy without any sort of fan making the room challenging to sleep in at night. Overall the hotel was great, just something to be aware of for summer.

Great overnight stay

We came to London to see a couple of shows and stayed just one night. For London the price was low so we were really surprised at the quality and the standard of service. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room was great and all the staff were so polite and helpful. We were able to leave our bags on both days very easily which was a great help. We had a drink in the bar and coffee and pastry in the coffee shop - both were good. We will certainly stay here again!

Perfect location, great all rounder, good price.

The standout for me, aside from the location, is the incredible plumbing. Silly as it sounds you can fill a deep bath with scalding hot water in about 90 seconds, as an engineer at heart i find it so impressive that a hotel this size can do this 24/7. Staff are brilliant and so attentive. Rooms arent anything special but the amenities are all there and they are clean, and again with everything within a 20 min walk, from theaters to restaurants to the major train stations, its a great choice. After 2 stays, this is now my "go to" for a night a the theatre in London.

Hotel was clean and very convenient for Euston Station and the British Museum etc. But rooms were noisy both from the street (sirens and traffic) and you could hear talking (not shouting, literally just people having conversations) from the neighbouring rooms.

Horrible, there is no air conditioning at the entire building, room was extremely hot, many windows are open at night and because of that there was a MOUSE inside the room at midnight making noise eating sweets from the trash can. Also the noise of the city is terrible if they give you a room with street facing, the worst place that I’ve been in a while, definitely is not a place to rest. Don’t go there

As a solo female traveller, this hotel doesn't provide any extra locks on the room doors, so is a big no for security. Check in is at 2pm, by 3pm when I came back to the hotel to check in, after already having left my luggage at the hotel in the morning, the room still was not ready which I don't think is acceptable. I got given a different room at no extra cost, but that is besides the point. I stayed during a heatwave and there is no air conditioning in the rooms, I had to ask to have an electric fan brought up to my room, which is crazy. I think the only positive thing about the hotel was that I made them aware of an allergy because of an autoimmune condition that I was born with when I made the booking and the staff at breakfast knew about it and we're very helpful and knowledgeable. Where my room was located was over looking a late night bar,bso quite noisy to sleep. If I am staying in this part of London again, I would not choose to stay in this hotel again.
