Guest Reviews
- Ziv (8/5): - Clean and well maintained Small rooms
- Zoe (4/5): Good location but very disappointed by the room for the price so paid. Very tired and bland room and breakfast was the s - The bed was comfortable. We couldn’t close the bathroom door as it was stuck open. The room was very bland and tired with old and out dated decor.
- Gordon (8/5): Location, Location, Location - Excellent location in central London. Walking distance to theatre district, Oxford St, British Museum, Covent Garden etc etc Rooms on thw smaller side
- Ingrid (8/5): -
- Manfred (1/5): - Geen kamer meer beschikbaar, moesten naar ander hotel, daar aangekomen bleek het het verkeerde hotel te zijn. Uiteindelijk toch in een hotel aangekomen.
- Chris (7/5): - Location good Nothing really, clean hotel, food good, I'm used to 5*,
- Gian Piero (7/5): Average stay in good location - Location is great. Room was big and clean. Interior is outdated. Funny smell/scent in the hallway. For out tase, the breakfast offer was very limited and not very good. Would have wished for healthier options.
- Gro Kristin Møller (8/5): Vi kommer gjerne tilbake. - Hyggelig betjening. Rommet var stort, god plass til koffertene. Frokosten var god.
- Sigurd (7/5): Helt greit hotel - Bra Romstandard
- Kim (7/5): Central location and a good 4 star hotel - Location and very clean and up to date Nothing
- Selin (8/5): Excellent stay, can book again! - Staff was so friendly, location was perfect it so close to tottenham court road and there is bus station caller museum street in front of the hotel. There is european plug in the room which is nice detail. Room was so clean and quite big for london. Queen bed was big and comfortable. The extra bed was so uncomfortable. I told the staff about that they should consider it.
- ALESSANDRA (8/5): - Posizione
- Jane (9/5): We’ve stayed here 3 times now and haven’t found anywhere more convenient or more comfortable for the price. Excellent s - Excellent location, great breakfast, friendly helpful staff
- Debbie (10/5): - Water was back in the rooms, yay!
- CAROLINE (1/5): very disappointing. never again. - The location on arrival I was informed that I had been upgraded to a King bed room, which I did not want as I was staying with my daughter and wanted 2 beds. They told us we had to leave the room and advise them of this before 5.30pm ( we checked in around 4pm) for it to be made into 2 beds. When we got to the room however, it was 2 beds, not the king size upgrade. On inserting the card for electricity, the slot fell apart. We managed to put it back together so it worked. Overnight, there was a-lots of mechanical noise which kept us from sleep. The person in the next room sounded like he was urinating in our room. In the morning, the shower was scalding hot with no ability to make it an appropriate temperature, so we could not shower.
- Ali (1/5): - Location They deducted the amount twice
- Susan (7/5): Good hotel for central London. - Proximity to the theatre. Breakfast good.
- morsanutto (6/5): - La posizione è sicuramente il suo punto di forza,fermata d' autobus proprio davanti all hotel e due di metro moltov vicine. La camera questa volta aveva una moquette macchiata e montata su un pavimento scricchiolante.
- Christophe (6/5): Un hôtel très bien placé mais un English breakfast à éviter - Très bon emplacement à côté du British Museum et proche de Covent Garden. Accessible à pied depuis la gare de St Pancras.
Chambre silencieuse donnant sur rue calme à l’arrière de l’hôtel.
Literie confortable.
Attribution d’un voucher pour chaque jour pour lequel on demande de ne pas faire la chambre Petit déjeuner indigne d’un 4 étoiles : faible choix et qualité médiocre. J’avais réservé une formule petit déjeuner inclus sinon dès le 2ème jour je serais allé le prendre en dehors de l’hôtel.
Problème de réglage de température dans la chambre : on a eu froid la 1ere nuit.
- anna (9/5): - tutto nulla
- anne (8/5): charmant hôtel très bien placé proche de tout et accessible vers les transports !! - manque porte valise dans la chambre , chaise supplémentaire nécessaire ,étagères dans le placard ...
- Peter (7/5): - Convenient location Limited breakfast
- Gijs (8/5): Great place to explore London - Great location. Close by to the underground.
Good breakfast Rooms are decent but not very luxurious
- Karen (7/5): -
- Joan (9/5): - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay Everything fine no complaints
Only small niggle no biscuits in room to have with our coffee/tea
- Helviira (8/5): Excellent location - Excellent location, friendly staff, clean and cozy hotel, with comfortable bed and working air conditioning. Room was quiet. Due to a system failure, we were initially given a room that had not been cleaned. The staff initially had difficulty understanding what had happened and the phone in the room was not working properly. Eventually we were moved to another room.
The breakfast was limited, nothing fresh or lactose-free. The elevator was slow and small.
- mikhail1366 (9/5): -
- Frøydis Berg (8/5): - Beliggenheten og at det var veldig rent og fint. Kunne gjerne vært mer frukt og grønnsaker på frokosten.
- nurit (8/5): - המיקום מעולה,
קרוב ברגל למקומות,
תחנת מטרו קרובה ארוחת הבוקר דלה מאוד וחוזרת על עצמה,
לא היו ירקות טריים כלל בארוחת הבוקר,
פנקייקים היו יבשים להחריד,
ארוחת הבוקר טעונת שיפור באופן דחוף
- Mark (9/5): Would recommend to friends. - Lovely hotel in a great location, close to transport, restaurants and main attractions. The shower ran out of hot water in the mornings if we didn’t shower early enough.
- Marianne (8/5): Nice hotel, would recommend, very sentral location. - Good location, easy to get to as the bus stop is right outside and metro not far away. Glutenfree alternative for breakfast. Friendly staff.
- Sache (7/5): -
- Bulent (10/5): -
- Douchka (8/5): - -Petit déjeuner très bien. Du vrai café disponible ce qui devient rare dans les hôtels
-Emplacement au top
-C'est plutôt calme. Pas de bruit de chambres voisines. Je suis déjà venu mais je n'ai jamais eu encore une chambre donnant presque entièrement sur un mur. C'est très désagréable
Petits désagréments:
-serviette de toilette avec un trou. Ca ne correspond pas au niveau de cet hôtel
-poubelle non vidée
-le système de réglage de l'eau douche/douchette. Si on veut uniquement utiliser le réglage "douchette" on est obligé de passer par le réglage "douche" et donc on a automatiquement les cheveux mouillés alors qu'on ne le voudrait pas.
-il serait préférable d'éliminer les baignoires à la fois par économie d'eau et aussi pour la sécurité. Enjamber la baignoire est dangereux pour les personnes plus agées.
- Andra-Nicoleta (8/5): Nice location - Nice location Old room
- Kurre76 (8/5): - Sijainti hyvä. Kulkuyhteydet hyvät. Palvelu ystävällistä. Aamupala oli suppea. Kasvikset puuttuivat kokonaan sekä leipätarjonta vain vaaleaa.
Tyynyt olivat itselle liian kovat ja korkeat eikä matalampia saanut.
- Patrick (8/5): - Excellent emplacement près des lignes de métro et des sites tourisitques principaux (British Museum, National Gallery, Covent Garden). Bonne literie, et chambre spacieuse (assez rare à Londres) suite à un upgrade. Le coût des chambres est élevé à Londres
- Fiona (8/5): -
- Cucos (8/5): Nice holiday - Splendid location
Very comfortable suite Poor breakfast,never changed
- Katja (7/5): -
- Chiara (7/5): Très bien situé - L’hôtel est très bien situé, la chambre est confortable et le petit déjeuné est très correct. Le personne qui nous a accueilli pour le petit déjeuner était très agréable et souriant. Le personnel de la réception ne parle pas français et n’a pas fait d’effort
Nous avons était embêté par plusieurs bruits une fois une alarme en plein milieu de la nuit, la fenêtre qui s’est ouverte impossible a fermer et le bloc Clim a l’extérieur qui faisait un bruit terrible.
- Jonathan (8/5): - Soap dispenser over shower was broken & did not work.
- Stevie (8/5): -
- Ayse (10/5): -
- ŞAN (10/5): Harika bir konumda bulunan harika bir otel kesinlikle tekrar gideceğiz. - Konum, temizlik Hiçbir şey
- Burstein (8/5): - Perfect location
Good breakfast
Nice stuff No mini bar
Not enough electricity options for charging. Only on one side of the bed
- Guy Ratz (10/5): - Large towels
Comfortable beds
Location
Nice staff Nothing
- Damien (8/5): We had a lovely stay with staff always helpful and with a smile. - Location and staff were super. Room a little small
- Katherine (8/5): -
- Thomas (7/5): - die zentrale Lage, nettes , hilfsbereites Personal
- janette (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and made the stay homely.
- Birgit (10/5): - Wurde upgegradet...Kingsize bed...tolles Frühstück
- Eva (9/5): - צוות שירותי מאוד, מלון נקי ונעים. ממוקם מצויין
- FRANCYSLLANNE ROBERTA (9/5): Maravilhosa - Simpatia funcionários recepção e café Limpeza quarto
- Philip Martin (6/5): -
- Fabrice (7/5): Agréable mais très cher pour un 4 étoiles et les prestations correspondantes - Le petit déjeuner et la situation de l'hôtel il y avait des mites dans la chambre, pas de mini frigo ni de bouteille d'eau
- Ake (7/5): -
- Raed (9/5): A great hotel for tourism in London! - We liked the room size, it was very spacious. They also let us check in early which was a pleasant surprise. The location was also very convenient, especially for visiting the British Museum. The shower was not very hot.
- Brianna (10/5): Friendly and helpful staff, great location, clean and comfortable facilities. - Responsive and friendly staff, great facilities. Nil.
- Marianne (7/5): - Super morgenmad Der burde have været bare een lænestol på værelset
- Jonathan (9/5): - The room was very quiet which we wanted. The reception area was immaculate and there was a chance to have coffee and a work environment was very helpful. Bathroom wasnt completely clean and the receptionist who greeted us was very grumpy.
- Donna Marie (8/5): Nice relaxed stay with nice staff & great location for our needs. - Location. Quality of hotel. Staff. Sink blocking every time it was used. Toilet not flushing taking 3 flushes to get it to work. Reported at check out

- jan (9/5): -
- Simon (10/5): Really enjoyable and excellently located - Staff, location and facilities N/A
- Cynthia (8/5): - The staff was nice and the location was convenient. We stayed for a week and we were given a room with a view of a wall with a window ledge that had a bunch of trash in it. The toilet wouldn't flush well. We had to flush four or five times to get solids down. We were told the toilet needed a part but we never got it fixed. The room would have benefited with another chair.
- Helga (7/5): Super location but some details are a bit off, which made it seem too pricey. - The location is fantastic. Great base for exploring London and very easy to get to and from Heathrow too. The smell of cleaner in the lobby area was nauseating. Some details were spotty, for example holes in a towel and a bathroom window latch that was falling apart.
- Michael (8/5): Die Lage des Hotels ist ausgezeichnet. Direkt vor der Tür ist eine Bushaltestelle. - Die Mitarbeitenden sind ausgesprochen freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer ist kleiner als es auf dem Foto wirkte.
- Bertrand (7/5): Deux jours à Londres - Le service (restauration), l'emplacement idéal de l'hôtel, la propriété (de l'hôtel et de la chambre) et l'accueil par un personnel serviable et sympathique. La chambre aurait pu être mieux équipée pour ce prix et le standing de l'hôtel. Il n'y avait qu'une seule chaise et pas de table d'appoint (de salon). La fenêtre de la salle de bain ne se fermait pas correctement (entraînant du froid, du bruit et accessoirement une surconsommation sur la climatisation)
- Mujde (9/5): -
- Bindley (8/5): Excellent location and breakfast was good. And we would stay again. - Location was very good. Breakfast was excellent had everything you wanted. Staff were friendly and helpful. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable and need replacing for a decent night's sleep.
- Elke (8/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Monique (6/5): Simple, Clean, Great Location - Location was perfect. Oxford Street shopping, Soho, The British Museum and tube stations just a short walk away. Staff were helpful and friendly. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Everything was clean. Room was a good size. Needs a bit of TLC. Lobby and main areas seem ok, but the room seemed a bit worn.
- Kin Sang (9/5): Very friendly and cosy hotel. excellent location for visting central London. - It's at an excellent location, round the corner from British Muesum and short distance to Tube station, and bus routes right at the front of the hotel. Walking distance to Covent Garden too.
- John (5/5): Not as good as on previous stays - Good location. Poor value for money breakfast. Having upgraded my room being charged £21 for a returning client including a return celebration dinner I would have thought some TLC would have been a good idea
- Nika (10/5): -
- Penny (5/5): Good location but expensive - Lovely breakfast and very helpful stuff Very overpriced. The bedroom was clean but needing a good upgrade.
- אנגל (9/5): -
- emma (8/5): - Location was excellent, beautiful building. Easy check in. We had a problem with our lights and after a while were given a different room.
Some hot chocolate and herbal teas would be good

- Anne (8/5): -
- NESLIHAN GULCIN (9/5): -
- Eva (8/5): Ich finde dass das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis nicht stimmt - Die Lage ist super, Frühstück gut, Zimmer sauber und alle freundlich Keine Minibar, keine Bademäntel und Hausschuhe und sie Klimaanlage/ Heizung war laut, teilweise so laut, dass man aufwachte ( also nicht kontinuierlich laut). obwohl ich das Gerät dann ausgeschaltet habe, auf Anfrage, hieß es, dass leider alle Geräte das haben, auch wenn sie nicht an sind
- Guest (9/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): Lovely clean hotel for weekend in London with friends. Very good location to tube and Covent Garden. Also around the cor - Friendly staff, location Nothing
- Halil (8/5): -
- Catalina (8/5): Great location, amiable staff, safe stay, very poor breakfast. - The best thing about this hotel is location, very close to British Museum, Covent Garden and theaters.
The hotel was clean, staff amiable . Breakfast was dissapointing. No vegetables, hardly any fruit. Average coffee. Needs improvement .
- Screvo App Kft (10/5): - We were specifically looking for an authentic place to stay in the city center, so everything we wanted to see during our visit would be easily accessible. It’s a beautiful, classic English building, with its interior very well preserved. The accommodation was comfortable, and the breakfast was wonderful. Everything is just a few minutes’ walk away.
- Angela (1/5): - Nothing Despite the fact that we'd had the room booked for 3 months and we arrived at the hotel mid-day, when we turned up at our hotel later in the evening around 11 pm, they had given our room away to someone else. The Manager was rude and dismissive.
- Mirjam (9/5): -
- Henrik Holm (6/5): -
- Jonathan (9/5): Very good for central London. - Well located for both the opera and Euston station so able to avoid the Tube. Upgraded to an executive double which was spacious and comfortable. Easy to control ambient temperature. Good water pressure. Good linens and a bathrobe that actually fitted rather than being for someone of diminutive stature. Well supplied with coffee and tea etc. I prefer a walk in shower but that’s personal taste. However the bath was very slippery to stand in. I only noticed the offer of non slip bath mat when taking a shower! Not quite as clean as one might hope - evinced by that one could see the track of the mop on the floor (not reaching the skirting board)
- Ludivine (10/5): - La proximité des commerces restaurants RAS
- Vicki (8/5): Stayed for one night. Room was clean, comfortable and all staff were friendly and helpful. - Excellence location. Good sized, twin room. Clean, quiet, comfortable bed. Buffet breakfast offering hot & cold items, good selection. All staff were welcoming and very helpful.
