Lovely but take earplugs
Stayed 3 nights to sightse in the capital. Lovely friendly check although it was very busy at 2pm, nice clean 3 bed room, with kettle and tea/coffee, immaculate shower room nice fluffy towels. Room smelled amazing, lovely bubblegum/fruity smell. Nice comfy beds with thick mattress toppers and room was nice and warm . The down side: Room faced onto busy road, it was exceptionally loud on a night due to single glazed window, Almost unbearly loud for sleep, so take ear plugs.

Ok for a short stay
The staff were very friendly, and eager to assist. Once past the reception the hotel itself is very tired. Worn carpets, damaged doors, dated furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. We didn't bother with the shower, the head was very high up for us and not adjustable.

It’s underwhelming
I was underwhelmed with this hotel. It was clean and the staff were friendly enough. But our room was really noisy (outside noise, other guests being noisy and the heating system was noisy!) The breakfast was basic. The room was basic. Overall, just very basic.

February review
Beds too soft, didn’t sleep too well. Breakfast, bacon wasn’t great, eggs undercooked. Was directed to a table, reserved sign put on it, went to get breakfast, came back to find the staff had given the table to someone else! So had to find our own table, ended up sat at a dirty table. Very unorganised! Room was nice, good layout, good bathroom, good shower. Lobby was clean and easy to navigate, lifts temperamental…be prepared to wait…and wait. Staff friendly

Ideally situated, with Russell Square minutes away
Great location, ideal for what we wanted. Parking a big expensive but hard to find anywhere so good with parking under the building. Beds were so comfortable, a real treat. Everything just worked for us and no worries about coming back late.
