Clean and Convenient Stay

easy access helpful staff luggage support
The location is superb. It is close to the British Museum and has easy access to the bus and Elizabeth Line. The staff at reception are helpful. I received support with my luggage and ordering an Uber taxi. I am very grateful for this assistance.
The reading lamp had a switch problem. It had partial contact and I did not have constant light to read.
Dining

Convenient and well-located stay

great location comfy bed friendly staff
the location was great for getting around. the bed in my room was very comfortable. i also found the staff at reception to be friendly (especially one guy who was always smiling!).
i noticed the carpet in the corridor seemed quite worn. the room was warm, and the window only opened a tiny bit. there was no air-conditioning , made it a little stuffy.
