Staff is very courteous and hotel is lovely. The room was quiet and bed quite comfortable. This hotel is centrally located to everything we were planning and only 10 minutes from the Euston train station for the next leg of our trip.

Lovely room, however disappointed that we had to call maintenance to unblock the sink as we arrived, then the following morning as there was no hot water! We had to use another room to shower prolonging our departure from the hotel and causing us to cancel our plans for the remainder of our stay in London. Was a celebratory trip gone wrong I’m afraid!

Although I know you can pay for an early check in, we were there at 2.40 and were told our room wasn’t ready so had to Sit in reception and wait …..it was miraculously ready at almost 3pm on dot! Thought that was a bit petty making us wait Then on the second day we went out for day at 10am and didn’t get back till 3pm as wanted to freshen up before going out again to eat - no sooner had we got in our room than the maid knocked and asked if she could clean /refresh so we declined. I don’t understand why this was done that late in day The hotel was comfortable and breakfast ok
