Charming hotel

We had a very comfortable and pleasant 3 night stay at the hotel.The staff were efficient and friendly. Our room was clean and spacious and had everything we needed.The kettle and tea bags and the hairdryer were appreciated. We would definitely stay here again when we next visit London.

The hotel room was very nice. The staff member who checked us in was incredibly rude. He quite literally yelled at us as we checked in. He was unhelpful and treated us very poorly in all of our interactions with him.

Lovely hotel in a leafy quiet road

Very nice clean accomodation. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Room was well appointed and clean. Would have been better if we could have worked out how do cast to the TV, instructions were given but it didn't work. Coffee machine seemed to be a bit temperamental. But small niggles, generally a very decent hotel. Best thing for us was the location, which was quiet, down a wide leafy street opposite a children's park. Lovely, quiet and safe. Ten mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras and ten mins from Russell Square and British Museum.

This was a great hotel option. Convenient and lovely. But heads up— there is no elevator. If you have big luggage, thick can be hard. Staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
