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

The hotel provides a continental breakfast. It includes pastries, cereals, and fruit. Coffee and tea are also available each morning in the dining area. This is a convenient option before a busy day.

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.
