The hotel is nice, however it is a little confusing when you first walk-in. There is a seating area which made it feel like a restaurant or coffee shop. It’s effectively a hybrid space, and we checked in at the desk in amongst the people eating & drinking. Aside from that, the room was small (as advertised), and therefore you wouldn’t want to do more than 1-2 nights there. Even with a carryon case we were pushed for space. We’ve stayed in similar places and they had a little more in terms of space saving ideas. Would still recommend for a night or two in London.

I didn’t like that the room didn’t have enough ventilation. It was really small could barely fit with 2 pple in the room. No hairdryer. Similar size rooms you would find in Asia but you pay in pounds which is the highest currency in the world.

First and foremost, I was unaware that this was a compact hotel I should’ve read the description thoroughly. I would totally recommend this hotel for a single individual or a couple. However, I was traveling with my husband and my 16 -year-old son upon entering the room. I was in shock on how small it was 150 ft.²,I could not even open my suitcase and lay it flat on the floor the shower was see-through, which was not going to work Seeing that I was sharing a room with my son. The air conditioner was not working. It was extremely hot in the room and we are not allowed to open the windows, I brought this to the attention of the staff, and they were accommodating and able to move us into a slightly larger room the following day ,upon entering the slightly larger room the following day, the air condition was working great and the way that the bed was situated it was blocking the shower glass so this was a better option for a family that does not want to shower in front of each other . The room air condition that wasn’t working was on the ground floor room number six , a friend of mine stayed in this exact room a week prior and had the same complaint of the air conditioning, not working, the OK room that we were moved into was 1006 on the first floor. It was still extremely small but doable for a party of three since we were not spending much time in the room.. again, I want to give praise for the staff helping us make the best of the situation. They were very accommodating.

Very interesting types of rooms. I suggest that if you are traveling with family maybe book two rooms. There is absolutely no privacy in the bathroom. Overall we really enjoyed this hotel and the location. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Good for solo travellers- only book a room with no window if you understand that you are getting a very small but fully functional space. Good for short stays and was priced accordingly

100%

I really liked everything about my stay. Very clean amazing staff the room is just a lot smaller than I expected, but I was only there for two nights so it was no big deal and I’m sure when I booked the room it said how many square feet it was and I just didn’t look at it. Regardless, I would stay there again probably just not for more than a couple of days cause I would need a little more space. I do highly recommend though.

The location of this place is great! 12 minute walk to the British Museum, 15 minute walk to Chinatown for incredible dim sum, 7 minute walk to the theater district. half a block from the Holborn underground station and a straight 50 minute ride back to Heathrow for like $6. Faster and a lot cheaper than the ride share it took to get there.
