Great location close to major hub for underground. Noisey busy street but not a big deal if you don’t have to sleep with window open which we did due to the heat. One fan was supplied. Rooms were small. No flat surface to lay anything on. Kitchenette was a floating shelf 6” wide with an electric kettle and mugs. Bathroom was horrible. Stand up shower was small and 2x2 feet of floor space to function. But worst part was sink had 2 facets one for hot one for cold that were push activated. U had to hold down each to use before it ran out with just enough pressure to not make to too forceful as to splash outside the tiny sink. Cold started warm turned hot then cold. No surface in bathroom to lay items and barley room to turn around. A lot can be overlooked but this facet situation is ridiculous. Not even to be able to turn it on to brush your teeth is unreal. Holding facet with one hand and trying to wince with the other or washing one hand then the other Loved the location and hotel was fine but amenities were lacking. Definitely needs upgrading

Perfectly adequate, but we were there on a VERY warm long weekend in London. Room on 3rd level was attic-like hot. Was able to crack windows and they did leave 2 fans. Toilet really didn’t like to flush anything solid. At all. Brought to staff attention but didn’t appear to trigger any action.

Beautifully renovated hotel Nice gardens But management needs improvement - sheets are not changed timely even if requested only pillow cover changed Room not vacuumed Vacuum left in corridor Ordered coffee and waited 30 minutes and even though I asked twice it was not ready - I finally gave up
