    Liked: This hotel is in a great location. Our room was cleaned and restocked everyday and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

    Disliked: The beds were okay. The breakfast was good, but a little more variety from day to day would have been nice for those that stay more than a few days.

    A dated, tatty hotel offering poor value for money despite a good location

    Liked: Location is great, near tube and park. Room was a good size.

    Disliked: Room was hot and stuffy, no air con, bedding too warm, window could only open a little way and the open part was covered with a safety barrier I’ve never seen elsewhere. Breakfast was basic, no hot food, not even eggs - poor value. Our 3 nights cost well over £700 and I expected better. Corridors and room decor very dated, felt like an institution or old hospital. Staff were disinterested. Shan’t be staying again.
