The hotel was centrally located in London, offering quiet and comfy rooms that were very clean. The breakfast provided good value, although the room size was a bit snug. The staff was friendly and cooperative, occasionally facing challenges like running out of duvets. The location was excellent, close to the tube station and convenient for various activities. The dining experience, while just continental and sometimes disorganized, had well-presented and tasty options. Overall, a good option for a stay in central London.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, although modern and clean, were disappointingly small. On the bright side, the service was nice and welcoming.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while having all the necessary facilities and feeling spacious due to high ceilings, fell short in terms of size and sound isolation, making it hard to rest properly. However, the location was convenient, with easy access to the subway and various attractions, and the service, although with some hiccups like the air conditioning issue, was mostly accommodating. The dining options were limited and the service slow, but the homemade ice-cream was a sweet touch.

I found the hotel’s rooms to be a bit small but understandable, though perfectly adequate. They were on the dark side, which made sense for the better pricing considering the location. The service was great overall, with reception staff being lovely, friendly, and helpful. However, there was a big issue with the air conditioning not working throughout the night. The location was very central, close to two tube stations and within walking distance of many attractions and eateries. In terms of dining, breakfast was cold, and the coffee machine wasn't working, slightly overpriced when compared to a previous experience. Despite these hiccups, homemade dishes were okay. The facilities were sufficient, though not exceptional.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although clean and modern, were pretty small and not accessible via lift, which was a bit inconvenient. On the bright side, they were comfortable. The service had its moments - from terrible and unhelpful to friendly and cooperative. The location was convenient, with easy access to the tube station, but the alarm system was a bit off-putting. The dining experience felt rushed, but at least there were a variety of options available. Overall, it was a mixed bag of experiences, but the location and service had their shining moments.
