I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but the need for a fresh coat of paint was noticeable. The staff were friendly and professional, providing great service. The location was excellent, within walking distance of key attractions, but the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, just across the road from Gloucester Road tube, making it extremely easy to explore the city. The rooms, although slightly small for the price, were tidy and in need of refurbishment. The service provided was helpful and pleasant, although not all staff members were equally friendly. The dining experience was decent, with a good variety of options, but some improvements could be made to certain dishes. Overall, a satisfactory stay considering the great location.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were pretty small which was a hassle with young tired children, but the second room was a bonus for privacy when traveling with others. The service was very helpful and friendly, especially at the breakfast jam cupboard, though there were some misses with room details and the promised change in room view did not happen smoothly. The location was convenient, close to the underground and various amenities, but there were some noisy disturbances like loud stomping. The dining options were average, but there are better choices nearby. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
