Guest Reviews

• KATAOKA (7/5): ロンドンだから - 立地が良かったです。 お部屋が狭いのと、エレベーターがない点です。
• Bruno (7/5): - La situation géographique, la proximité des gares et du quartier de Soho. Le style de l'hôtel La chambre était assez étroite. Pas de table de nuit malgré deux lits (chambre familiale), mauvaise isolation de la porte de la chambre avec le couloir
• GLADYS (7/5): -
• Marta (8/5): Comfy and convenient - Comfry bed, clean, nice shower, biscuits, convenient for King X broken side lamp, no decaff tea/coffee
• Jackie (9/5): - Lovely single room in good location
• Mathilde (9/5): -
• Li (10/5): The best hotel nearby and highly recommend - Good experience for this hotel: Very clean and quiet room Lovely and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast - the best boiled eggs I had! Thank you! None
• Autumn (9/5): -
• Elisa (8/5): Un magnifique séjour, emplacement, propreté et personnel 👍 - L’emplacement, la propreté, la gentillesse du personnel. S’il y avait une petite chose à améliorer : des oreillers plus épais 😉
• christopher (8/5): Perfect short stay accommodation - Very clean/nice garden to rear to relax and read Good facilities nearby Room was very small
• Marcia (10/5): - Great location, it was close the everything I needed during my trip, lovely staff and the building itself was amazing
• Keli (5/5): Consider Alternative Lodging Arrangements if Breakfast is Important to You - The owner was very professional and personable. The facility was clean. I have stayed at several B&Bs/hotels. I choose B&B's/hotels because breakfast is provided. Unfortunately, the breakfast food options offered at this hotel were of very low quality. Additionally, continental food options ran out and were not replenished because there was no food remaining. One morning, there was a line outside the dining area because guests were waiting for open tables. We waited 15 - 20 minutes before a table opened.
• NANCY (7/5): Très belle découverte de Londres et nous y retournerons rapidement. - L'hôtel est très bien situé. La chambre est suffisante en taille pour un court séjour. Le déjeuner est copieux, choix en buffet de viennoiseries, fruits, céréales .... ainsi qu'à la commande pour un déjeuner Anglais compris dans le prix. Le personnel est chaleureux et disponible. La chambre que nous possédions mériterait un coup de frais dans la salle de bain et notamment la douche!!
• Federico (1/5): -
• Marita (8/5): - Clean and convenient. Helpful staff Staff could be a lottle more friendly but they were very helpfuk
• Annelaure (8/5): Aangenaam hotel. Was de 2e keer voor mij in dit hotel. Goede ligging - Lekker ontbijt -
• Sergej (7/5): A charming stay in a beautiful hotel, only slightly affected by one staff member’s attitude. - I loved the location of the property, and I really liked the design and decoration. The hotel has a charming, authentic English style and looks very pretty. Overall, it felt warm, pleasant, and welcoming. I didn’t like the behaviour of one receptionist on the morning of my departure. She spoke to guests in a rude and abrupt manner, and even told me to move tables while I was eating, without asking politely. Her attitude created an unpleasant atmosphere during an otherwise lovely stay.
• Sloan Ranger (10/5): -
• Alicia (4/5): - Practical location, traveling solo so as far as the room goes I didn’t need much more. No shutters, sunlight straight in. Sorry but I really needed to sleep in and it was impossible. No celiac breakfast options.
• Tari (6/5): -
• Francesco (8/5): -
• Joy (9/5): -
• Sklaerenn (8/5): - l'emplacement de l'hôtel est parfait : rue calme mais à 20mn à pied de la gare de St Pancras et 10mn à pieds du British Museum. La déco feutrée et très anglaise. Un peu hôtel cosy à taille humaine. Très bon petit déjeuner (continental buffet et English Breakfast à la demande) rien du tout
• Emily (9/5): Clean accommodation - Liked the location. Room was clean. Room very small, but this was fine for us
• Justin (9/5): -
• Ian (8/5): - Location is good, breakfast was good, room was fine, no real issues.
• José (7/5): -
• REMEDIOS ANGELA (8/5): - Amplitud habitación No se podía abrir ventanas
• Sarah (5/5): Room clean but way too small, bed uncomfortable. - Location and breakfast Room was extremely small compared to the room I stayed in last year and same cost
• 659tatjanap (10/5): City break - A small, quiet hotel. The rooms are small, but it's a Victorian building. Our room overlooked the garden. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom has a massage shower—very nice after a tiring day. Toiletries are provided. There's a hot drinks corner. Plenty of storage space. It's a quiet and relaxing place to relax. The location is excellent—public transportation, attractions, and plenty of cafes and restaurants are nearby or within a short walk. Breakfast options include hot, sandwiches, and light options. All requests were taken into account. I recommend it.
• P*P*2008 (10/5): -
• Peter (7/5): -
• Elena (7/5): Good, but not great - The hotel is in a convenient location, a 15-minute walk from St Pancras station, and it is easy to reach attractions on foot, by metro or bus. The breakfast was surprising - we were offered a hot English breakfast and a selection of yogurt, meat, cheese, and desserts. The room for 3 people had 2 beds of the same size - normal for one person, but small for two. Also, some of the sockets did not work, there was a broken lamp by the bed that did not work, one window in the room was broken and it was very cold.
• asia (7/5): -
• Stephen (5/5): - Left my nightshirt in the room. Went back the next day to see if they'd found it and they weren't interested in helping.
• Markus (7/5): Cosy and well cared for place. - Cosy little place situated opposite a grand bookshop and within walking distance of several well-kept parks, offering a sumptuous English and continental breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. As a returning guest I can say that continental breakfast used to be a more sophisticated spread than it has become, including cake and salmon treats. And going back to serving coffee or tea at the table would prevent queues in front of the slow coffee machine in the tiny breakfast room. In room 8 the toilet wouldn‘t stop flushing at first. Then a plumber was kindly sent for.:)
• Elise (10/5): -
• Mocanu (9/5): - Locație excelenta, mic dejun bogat, liniște!
• Arunas (8/5): I enjoyed to stay here, would like to get back. - Authentic, cosy, tea in the room, nice dinning room, tasty breakfast. Problems with magnetic cards to enter (possibly my fault to keep next to mobile phone), no number to call in the night in case of trouble to get into the room, but staff solved the problem. Small space, but is ok for short stay.
• Antonio Julio (10/5): Super bien situado, los desayunos super bien y muy limpio, la atención excelente - Todo El colchón.
• Davide (7/5): -
• MARC (8/5): Bien pour un court sejour - Bien situé, proche du British muséum Très bon petit dej Petite chambre
• Yeliz (7/5): good if you only stay to sleep and take shower, not for long hours stay in the room for one person. - I did not take any breakfast. Best was the location. Room was quite small even for one person. Need for maintenance. (shower tap, doors has to be renewed.)
• pamela (7/5): -
• Christine (7/5): - Great location, bathroom good Cooked breakfast not so good some items on menu unavailable, coffee machines not for us
• AMELIA (7/5): Great Location, Comfortable Stay - Amazing location, so close to transport links and city centre. Also lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Clean room, coffee and tea available and kettle. Had clean towels, very clean and spacious bathroom. Comfortable mattress and very decently spaced room for London. My room was in the middle of the stairwell, which meant it was noisy, and as a solo female traveler, I didn't feel the safest. It's quite noisy with construction work outside (that included 4 hours of beeping from 6am) and very minimal insulation (you could hear upstairs). Not great if you want a lie in. There was a huge mirror on the entirety of the wall as well, which was a little off-putting. Some basic wear and tear on the room, the toilet had a poor flush and the drainage was weak in the shower (a plunger should fix it really).
• Ugun (1/5): - 엘리베이터 없네
• Julie (8/5): -
• Declan (9/5): We stayed for one night and really liked the location and the facilities. Great mattress which is a high priority for u - Location excellent and room had everything we needed good breakfast too Room was small and dark as it was a basement
• Jose Luis (6/5): -
• Vanessa (8/5): -
• Frari76 (8/5): -
• Dana (10/5): -
• Jesus (10/5): - Buen hotel
• RUTH (7/5): - La ubicacion Las camas eran pequeñas para 4 personas y la habitación tambien
• Joanne (8/5): Perfect for a short stay in the city - Great location, room was clean and had all the basics I needed for a one night stay. I stayed in a single room at the back of the property and it was very quiet. The girl who was working on the front desk was lovely and helpful. The room was very warm, even though the radiator was off and the ceiling fan was on. I imagine it would be quite hot in the summer.
• pavla (8/5): -
• Edwin (4/5): -
• CHRISTINE (5/5): -
• Anna (7/5): -
• Turhan barkın (8/5): - Everything was fine, but there was an incredibly foul sewage smell in the room.
• Costanzi (8/5): -
• Andrea (8/5): Il giusto soggiorno - Pulizia e dimensioni stanza e bagno. Letto scomodo.
• Ewa (10/5): Petite Chambre Mignon. Parfait pour 1-2 nuits. - Bon rapport prix - qualité. J'ai resté justement pour une nuit pour les affaire dans la chambre type - cabine. Très propre. La chambre et comfortable. Possibilité de faire thé ou cafe dans la chambre. Proche du metro, restos, supermarche. Bon localisation. Tout était comme prevue. la chambre etait hyper petite, mais c'est que j'ai espéré par habitude de voayager souvent à Londres. Je reviendrais avec plaisir.
• Héloïse (7/5): Pratique - L’accueil était vraiment au top. l’hôtesse m’a donné toutes les informations importantes et n’a pas hésité à ce montrer disponible pour toutes questions. Le petit déjeuner Anglais et plutôt bien complet et nous nous en sommes régalées :). La localisation est super si vous avez une comédie musicale à Piccadilly circus . C’est à peine 25 min à pied. La chambre en elle même revient à cher lorsqu’on voit les soucis qu’il peut y avoir. Il y avait un trou dans le plafond, une odeur d’urine de chat dans la salle de bain
• Richard (10/5): -
• Maria Luisa (8/5): Grazioso hotel in Bloomsbury - Struttura molto accogliente e funzionale. Bagno comodo e bene attrezzato. Stanze un po' piccole. L'hotel si trova a una certa distanza dai principali mezzi di trasporto.
• Sophie (9/5): -
• Jack (9/5): -
• Marcelo Hector (10/5): Exelente ubicación,muy amable el personal - Típico Hotel inglés de esa zona de Londres, muy amable el personal, nos ayudaron a mejorar nuestra estadía. Muy recomendable Como todos en esta zona hay que subir escaleras es típico y pintoresco de esta zona de Londres
• Marcelo Hector (10/5): Exelente ubicación y amabilidad del personal - La ubicación es Exelente cerca de dos de las terminales de trenes más importantes. Muy buena predisposición del personal. Típico hotel londinense de la zona Es con escaleras como todos en la zona
• LuisaOr (7/5): -
• Aaro (7/5): Hea asukohaga hotell, kui soovid peatuda Londoni Ülikooli lähedal. - Mulle meeldis hotelli asukoht ja et kõik vajalik oli toas olemas. Tuba oleks võinud olla suurem ja hubasem.
• Jesus (7/5): Aceptable - La situación Poca empatía el personal
• antinisca (9/5): - La posizione è fantastica sia per il lavoro che per turismo/vacanza. La camera era piccolina, ma molto confortevole, pulita. Il personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Sono stata molto bene
• Danny (10/5): - Food, accommodating staff, very clean, all staff were excellent, N/a
• Rocío (8/5): -
• Aorticmark (10/5): Overnight stay near The Regent's Park - Polite, helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Clean. Excellent standard of gluten-free catering. I had a brief conversation with a regular customer who was happy to return and with whom the staff had a friendly rapport. If my next appointment in London is anywhere near, I will return.
• JEROME (9/5): -
• Chalm (8/5): Génial - Emplacement, petit déjeuné, chambre Parfois un peu de bruit
• Sviataslau (5/5): - Location is nice. The room was clean The room we got was on -1 floor, which is not clear from the pictures at all. Hence we did not see sunlight (well, technically you could see it, but it is not what health person understands under term “sunlight”) and the humidity was really high. Smell overall was fine, but sometimes you could “smell” the moisture. From my perspective it is not good value for money, although I understand that London is expensive city. I would suggest property owners to have one less room for stay in their hotel
• CHAO WEN (8/5): 一分錢 一分貨 - 地點 廁所面積很小。衛浴shower,馬桶，門，緊連在一個小空間。
• MARIE (8/5): - Secteur agréable. Des restaurants à proximité, si vous aimez indien le Yatri a tester. Pratique en métro (station à proximité )ou sinon a pieds tout est possible. Côté rue cela peut être embêtant pour les personnes sensibles au bruit, pas de double vitrage, ni de volet. Petit déj copieux. Personnel discret mais disponible. Chambre twin petite mais fonctionnelle, mériterait malgré tout un coup de jeune, décoration un peu défraîchie. Si vous avez des bagages, cela risque d'être compliqué. Dans la chambre twin pas de rangement juste des cintres, cela ne nous a pas embêté nous n'avions que des sacs a dos. Comme petite chambre impossible de ranger quoique ce soit.
• Micheal (8/5): -
• Johannes Koenig (3/5): Tolle Lage, nettes Personal, schreckliche Zimmer. - Die Lage ist sehr gut und das Personal sind ist sehr freundlich. Für den gezahlten Preis hatten wir ein großes Doppelbett erwartet. Wir bekamen einen sehr kleinen Raum mit zwei kleinen Betten. Die Ausstattung im Raum war veraltet. Ein großer Spalt klaffte unter der Tür. Der Raum war abschüssig. Die Dusche roch moderig. Bei aller Liebe, so geht es nicht. Die Bilder des Hotels waren hochgradig irreführend.
• Marcin (8/5): Quite enjoyable, hassle-free, quiet - Location was excellent. Easy to get to by Tube and buses. Within short walking distance to the centre. Shops, restaurants, cafes in Tottenham Court Rd nearby (3 min walk) The decor of the room, but it's a matter of taste, I guess. To me it was a bit depressing and both the room and the bathroom might need repainting.
• B6964WXsophiem (10/5): Pixar Mundo Visit - Stayed here as we were attending the Pixar Mundo and can’t fault the hotel. Lovely and clean, shower was fantastic staff great and great links to all transport or walking. Pass on my thanks we had a great time!
• Ignas (5/5): Ok but won't be going again - Location Room is sad. Outdated ,a lot of moldy things. Strange smell inside WC area Lamps almost falling off Missing lamp bulps
• Daudet (10/5): - Très bien situé , on peut faire une majorité des endroits à pied et pas loin du métro. Quartier universitaire avec un café juste en face de l’hôtel !
• Sandra (7/5): -
• Richard (5/5): Not sure I'd stay again! - Good location for my purposes. Easily found. Easy access. The bathroom, although tiny, was well appointed. The room was very small and in need of redecoration. The walls were covered in scuff marks and dirt. A disposable coffee cup, still with coffee in (cold) had been left on the shelving unit. Television connection was poor.
• V9770IDdavido (8/5): Rooms small but staff very pleasant and helpful. - I stayed with my wife and Florinda was very helpful in changing us to a room on a lower floor, and very responsive with respect to some issues relating to that room. Everything was fine but the rooms are small
• Janet (9/5): - Location price Lack of TV channels
• Mary (8/5): A very good location for our stay. - The room was clean and comfortable I was a little cold one night
• Paula (6/5): -
• Chloe (10/5): Great staff, good location - Nice quiet location perfect for an early surgery appointment at UCLH. Staff upon arrival and when I left were excellent, so caring, attentive and friendly - I would definitely come back!
• Maciej (8/5): -
• Dom and Anna (7/5): Compact comfortable room - Very compact room but it had everything I needed. Single rooms are all at the back of the house i.e. away from the noise of the road. Easy check-in. Good night's sleep. Not a hotel to 'hang out in' but if you're just looking for a clean comfortable bed for the night, then this definitely ticks those boxes. One of the blinds didn't work (or at least you couldn't get to the thread to roll it down). This wasn't a problem in the winter (dark mornings) but would be in the summer.
