Hotel was great! Very close to all you needed and staff very helpful! Could do with air con in the rooms however - but that staff did supply us with a fan. Was a very hot day mind.

We had a great time. The location was incredible and the staff very friendly.
As the hotel is old, our floor cracked a lot as we walk ( or the neighbors). You coul also ear through the walls, so I do not recomend if you are a light-sleeper.

Service was great. Location for the conference being attended, good. General condition seemed good though may have seen better days.
The room was fine for an overnight stay, but I found the bed too hard for my preferences.

Our check-in was seamless, and our stay was perfect. Biscuits and tea bags were provided in our room each day, which made for a lovely start to the day. Easy walk to several tube stops. Would stay again and highly recommend.
