Terrible smell in room
Very slow check- in, allow extra time for this. Terrible smell in the room, had a triple and due to availability couldn’t be moved. Had to get a fan and leave window open to try and remove. Stale musty smell was awful, such a shame otherwise this would have been a good stay

We will return, its great
Excellent from check in to our exit. Very efficient on the desk and a warm welcome as we entered the building (which is huge, biggest ive stayed in). Twin bed room looked new! New bathroom, carpets, beds. Great shower that stayed at a constant heat. Good size room. Stayed for two nights. Take earplugs, the location is amazing but its noisy in the center of London. Didn't try the breakfast but it is available. We will definitely be back

Suitable base for 2 nights in London. Clean bedroom/bathroom. Only negative, considering price, was a smell of cigarette smoke even though we were on the 5th floor.

Very good parking - and always great staff. Although, we arrived at the hotel and they said the room wasn't paid, although we paid on Hotels.com when booking.
