Improved hotel but VERY VERY noisey

The refurb has made a difference. Bathroom floor tiles starting to lift and hard grout on the floor. Building work is very noisey and no indication of the when checking in which is very poor. Would be good to have decaf coffee

Lovely stay rooms are great and very clean. The queue for breakfast needs managing better so more staff on the desk as there were lots of spare tables and staff could have cleared them more efficiently.

Could not fault hotel on location, cleanliness and breakfast was lovely. Staff were not very warm or friendly especially at reception. We decided to leave a day earlier and when my husband handed back our room key and explained why they didn’t enquire or ask was there a problem etc just said oh okay. Room itself is okay, bathroom is nice. Bed was a double and too small for us did ask to upgrade but no other rooms available. Though we would just go with it but bed was uncomfortable, bedding was too thick, room was too hot. Tried sleeping the second night with just the cover for the duvet, opened window but had to shut it because of noise outside. After two nights of rubbish sleep, sore back and in a hot room we had enough. Beware you can hear everything in the hall, talking doors slamming and I had to use my ear plugs as could hear someone snoring. Won’t be back and would not recommend it

Great location! Convenient to the tube, bus, taxis, Uber. Rooms were cleaned when requested, which is perfect. Breakfast was expensive - only did that one day. The other restaurant/bar was a comfortable place to sit and relax. Everyone was friendly and helpful!
