friendly staff efficient staff convenient location small bathroom low water pressure lukewarm water
the staff were friendly. they were efficient and always available at reception. the location is convenient. arriving into the city at euston station, i could walk to the hotel in just 15 minutes (very useful with luggage).
i booked an en-suite room this time. the bathroom is smaller than on a ferry to europe. there is hardly any water pressure and the hot water barely gets warm. even the separate hot tap on the wash basin didn't get to lukewarm.

Central Location, GREAT value!

clean room statement windows
The room was very clean. It was definitely well-kept (which I super appreciate!). The two big statement windows looked out onto the museum. The en-suite was clean and neat with a shower, extractor fan, and toiletries bin.
The room was quite small. The television on top of the wardrobe did not work because there was no signal from the aerial.
