We arrived early and were warmly welcomed. Our room was ready so we were invited to check in there and then, which allowed us more time for our shopping trip. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds really comfortable. A hidden gem in London, we will definitely be back!

Great stay. Usually very hard to find a room for a family of 5. Pleasantly surprised by hotel. Initial Room we were given didn’t have a window, just a skylight, which felt claustrophobic. The staff were helpful when I asked to move rooms and we very very satisfied by the new room do the price. Location good.

We had a great stay for our family of four. The staff was friendly and helpful. Mel at reception was especially gracious in answering our questions and giving useful tips for our stay. Recommend as a convenient place to stay downtown - especially if you’re coming from Heathrow and can take the express train from the airport to Paddington Station nearby.
