A fantastic, comfortable room

I had a great stay, the room was really comfortable, in a great location, and the staff were very helpful.

The WiFi was a bit dodgy.

Comfortable, nice pub downstairs, a bit expensive for what you get

7.0

Bed very comfortable, air con in room was good (especially in a heatwave!), good toiletries and decent fittings, quiet despite busy pub downstairs but lots of road noise

No breakfast available, lots of stairs to bedrooms. Blind in bathroom was broken and room is overlooked so had to hang a towel at the window to shower. Traffic noise from very early in morning despite closed windows was quite disruptive. Unable to get a table for meal in the evening as all tables booked for football but was able to eat at the bar. Quite expensive for what is provided.

Room 2 ! We had a really comfortable room with a fantastic big bath . A/C was a lifesaver ! Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Good food and drink and the comedy night was an added bonus . My birthday Negroni was excellent too 😉

We couldn’t get WiFi at all in our room but that’s a minor complaint. The stairs might put some people off but we were warned in advance !

Clean, comfortable and well equipped room in a good location close to the underground @ bus stops. Helpful staff.

Staircase to access the room was quite steep.

Location is great and the neigbourhood is full of historic houses, like Charlie Chaplin lived almost next door. A little further away is the Imperial War Museum and Tibetan Peace Garden, which was open by the Dalai Lama himself in 1999.

Very poor wi-fi in the room. Basically it didn't work.
