The room I was assigned was quite disappointing. I found a layer of dust on top of the wardrobe. The view wasn't great either. It mainly overlooked a crane. These issues detracted from the overall experience.

amazing experience here!
central locationhelpful staffquick fixluggage storage
this hotel is super central and close to everything! the staff are very professional and helped me a lot. i had issues and they fixed it super fast. i had my luggage stored when i went to oxford for a few days.
the breakfast was just ok. it wasn't really special for a hotel like this, i wanted more options. i do not eat pork, and there wasn't any cold cut options!
Location
9/10
the hotel sits near many important places. i could quickly walk to parks and tube stations. it sits on a calm street near the main attractions and activities. the area feels very safe and quiet.
The doormen were helpful and kind. They always greeted me with a smile. The location was very convenient to major attractions, I walked to many sites.
My room faced the back, the main view was of an adjacent building. That was a real disappointment. The hotel deemed it appropriate to raise prices, I found this quite unusual.
