4/10 Fair

The experience was not great. The WiFi barely worked, cut out nonstop. Do not plan to work if you stay here and need internet. No elevator. Travel light, otherwise - may end up lugging a heavy suitcase up 4 flights or stairs. The 4th floor is quite warm and the fan sounded like a lawn mower.

Rapport qualité-prix faible

Les lits sont en fin de vie, tapis avec tâches, aucune isolation dans les chambres. Beaucoup de bruit, beaucoup d'étudiants en fête. Rapport qualité prix extrêmement faible.

Lovely hotel in a leafy quiet road

Very nice clean accomodation. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Room was well appointed and clean. Would have been better if we could have worked out how do cast to the TV, instructions were given but it didn't work. Coffee machine seemed to be a bit temperamental. But small niggles, generally a very decent hotel. Best thing for us was the location, which was quiet, down a wide leafy street opposite a children's park. Lovely, quiet and safe. Ten mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras and ten mins from Russell Square and British Museum.

Nice hotel (get the right room!)

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.
