    inconsistent luxury quality

    great stay but lacks true luxury

    The location is fantastic, with easy access to local attractions. The room was impressively clean and spacious for our needs.

    The hotel claims a 'luxury' designation but does not fully deliver on that promise.

    Couldn't recommend more for a weekend

    Clean room, comfortable bed, with hot shower facilities that made my stay enjoyable. plus, the location was great, just a 5-minute walk from the nearby tube station.

    efficient service
    good wi-fi

    Great hotel with good wi-fi, tv, and efficient express check-in. The staff once helped me return documents I accidentally left behind. I recommend taking advantage of the luggage storage service. I'm definitely coming back for a city break.

    pleasant scent
    narrow stairs
    steep stairs

    The room was really clean and cozy, and the bed was super comfy! I loved the pleasant scent from the reed diffusers. But, be warned, the stairs are really narrow and steep. could be tricky with luggage. a decent setup for a short stay.

    cleanliness room

    Recommend it for solo travelers

    I stayed for one night and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the room, fresh bedding and all the amenities I needed. The self check-in was smooth, no hassle at all, had my coffee ready in the fridge, couldn't ask for more.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but it was still acceptable for the service I received.

    clean room
    friendly service
    comfortable accommodations
    steep stairs
    no elevator

    The room was small yet comfortable, well-decorated, and clean. Its convenient location made it easy for me to explore nearby attractions on foot, which I appreciated as a senior traveler. The service was responsive and friendly, ensuring I felt welcome.

    No elevator. steep stairs could be challenging.

    daily cleaning
    dated decor
    no 24/7 service
    noise issues

    The location couldn't be better, just a short walk from Euston station, which made it easy to explore London. My room was clean, and the shower pressure was really good, which I appreciated after a long day. I ran into a couple of problems. The room was quite small, making it a bit cramped, and the noise from the street was noticeable, especially in the morning. I also found the decor a bit dated and not as inviting as I had hoped. The absence of 24/7 reception felt odd, and I had some concerns about safety when returning late at night. Despite these issues, it was an affordable option for a short stay.

    Clean rooms and nice vibes!

    We had a decent stay here for one night. The location was super convenient and access was easy. Our room was neat and comfy, with some nice charm in the decor. Only bummer was the street noise, but it wasn't terrible. We didn't try any dining options since we were out exploring!

    Great Stay with Friendly Staff and Convenient Location

    We had a lovely one-night stay in a comfortable Standard Double Room. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful when I needed assistance with my book. Don't miss the nearby café for a delightful breakfast before exploring the city!

    fantastic location
    clean room
    enough space
    unpleasant odors
    basic amenities

    The location is fantastic for getting around central London, with easy access to various attractions like the British Museum and Covent Garden. The room was clean, and we had enough space for our group. the bathroom had some unpleasant odors that detracted from the overall experience.
