    Charming stay with great vibes!

    Spent 5 nights in a classic double room and loved the cozy decor. The staff are super friendly and helpful, making us feel special. Had some amazing meals in the bar too! Only thing is, the room felt a bit cramped, especially with the weird bathroom setup. a solid experience, just needs a tad more space.

    comfortable breakfast

    Great for families looking for comfort

    We were welcomed on arrival with our daughter getting a teddy bear which made her smile big, that was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a variety of tasty pastries and the staff there really paid attention to us, made us feel at home.

    It wasn't exactly pocket change but still was worth it for the experience.

    convenient location
    street noise
    shower issues

    I enjoyed the lounge area for late-night drinks and snacks during my short stay. The location was convenient for exploring, making it easy to get around. I was upgraded to a suite with a four-poster bed, and the staff was helpful when I had an issue with the shower.

    The noise from the street was bothersome in the mornings. The shower had some problems that took up more time than I would have liked.

    staff hospitality

    It was a commendable fit for a weekend excursion in London with definitely value for money. The staff's hospitality made a real difference, especially when Valeriia greeted us at check-in. Consider asking for a room away from the noise if you're sensitive to sound.

    Charming Stay with Cozy Vibes

    We enjoyed our 8-night stay in a Deluxe King Room. The ambiance was inviting, especially the cozy sitting areas with warm fireplaces. The staff went the extra mile, providing umbrellas when it drizzled, which was thoughtful. Don't miss the scrumptious Guinness black bread at breakfast!
