There isn't a ramp to enter this hotel, so it was extremely difficult to lift a stroller up all the stairs. In addition, the standard room was incredibly tiny.

Good central location.

I have to say the bed was the most uncomfortable we’ve slept in during 30 years of traveling. The mattress sloped so much - anyway. And we never complain but this was up there. Great location and really nice staff.

Ok for the price

We stayed for one night, mid week, for a theatre trip. Our twin room was small, and in need of updating: cluttered with too much furniture which was not in good condition, and the carpet needed replacing. But the heating worked, the shower was good, and the beds were comfy, which is what we needed for our short stay. The hotel is well located for getting around and was probably decent value for central London for the price we paid.

Staff were all friendly and welcoming and personable, but the room wasn't great for the cost. Tv didn't work and staff had to fiddle with it to get signal. Hairdryer didn't work. The hotel replaced it. Furniture old and scuffed. The door opened so close to the bed it banged on the end. But yes staff were lovely!
