Room was not ready at check in. Told us it would be 10 mins. It was 30 mins. Other than that we were glad there was AC for unusually hot London June. Old but clean as expected for Europe. Good size as the EU goes for family of 4 for one night. Pretty helpful front desk.

We have stayed here before and loved it. So we came back, but this time we tried to have a drink in the bar but they only had Guinness on draft, and no where to sit. The room was nice however both cream and shower gel either empty and not working and in the bathroom there was a huge pile of sawdust/dust that hadn’t been cleaned up after a repair. Reception lady lovely as always

Clean and tidy hotel. Brilliant staff. TV didn't work in room and they moved us to a bigger room straight away. Comfy beds, although the air conditioner was so old and loud you couldn't have it on overnight.
