Centrally located with garden space outside the bar, booked a garden view room and very quiet at night on this side of the hotel. Did not eat at the hotel but bar service was pleasant and outside seating welcome (if weather permits). Bathroom's sanitary ware is a bit dated but appliances worked well. An armchair in the room would be welcome (single room).

Great location and price. Breakfast was very good and included in the price which was a surprise. It was only a 15min walk into the west end. We had a room at front wirh some street noise but it didnt bother us. It is London after all and we had the window open!

The room was very basic, with very little in terms of amenities, and the plumbing is very dated, with a narrow tub/shower, and a toilet that required multiple flushes to work.

Great friendly staff. Short walk to the British Museum and it sits between two Tube stations that are a short walk away. Bus stop right across the street. We ate breakfast there every day of our stay. Very good breakfast. Plus they will make you an omelet if you ask.

Convenient location but shame about the noise

I requested a quiet room and got a really noisy front facing room where the curtains were too thin. Bright lights need a black out curtain and noise made for a terrible night. Staff at the front desk were friendly though.

3rd time back. I love how close it is and safe to walk. Breakfast is great, garden in the back is lovely with open windows. The only thing: the perfume in the common area of the floor is quite strong.
