La struttura si trova in quartiere molto carino e in una struttura davvero bella, la posizione è ottima ed è vicinissimo alla fermata di Gloucester Road che porta direttamente all'aeroporto di heatrow in circa 50 minuti con la Piccadilly line e la fermata in tutto è collegata a tre linee della metro. Comodo, essenziale ma buono per stare qualche notte in appoggi

They put me in a basement with moldy walls,moths in the room,old carpet and furniture. They said they couldn’t change it due to hotel fully booked. The receptionist was nice though. And the area is amazing. This is the worst room I have ever been by far, for $200!!!. The bathroom was the only renovated thing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Although the rooms were clean the bathroom sink had a crazed crack in it. The shower was not very powerful. Only one bath towel per person was provided no hand towels. It would have been nice to have had a full length mirror even if it had been inside on the wardrobe door. There was no tea/coffee/milk available in the rooms but this could be picked up in reception

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved this place. I was in a single room on 2nd floor and it was quiet, room clean and tidy with a comfy bed and nice bed linen. Shower was great. There was a safe in the wardrobe. Easy to walk to from underground stations. Also a 15 min walk to Natural History Museum, V&A, Royal Albert Hall. Mainly though the staff at reception were lovely and helpful. I had an issue with a gig ticket and they sorted it for me. I would have missed the event if it hadn't been for them. Would definitely recommend this place and will stay again.
