Clean room and very helpful jolly staff. Except for the closure of some bus stops near the Inn, it would have been perfect, Next time we will try the breakfast or order meals.

A/C was great - especially in a heat wave! The location made using public transit simple, and the bag check came in handy on our last day. Would certainly stay here again.

A well stocked, hot English breakfast early every morning was much appreciated here along with the various hot beverage options that were offered. The beds were soft with good pillows. While I wish high speed wireless was a given, we upgraded each day and streaming was not a problem. We felt this was a home to come back to each day after traveling the city and taking bus tours around England. Oh and the air conditioning was strong and MUCH appreciated as there was a bit of a heat wave on when we were there.

Very good, will stay again.
The hotel locates in the middle of farringdon
and barbican. Plenty of choices for breakfast. The only one disadvantage is not providing free bottles of water.

Great location- very centrally located but also tucked away where it was quiet and safe.
Room was small for 4 people, but frankly was as expected for a hotel in the middle of London. The room was very clean and had everything we needed.
Breakfast was delicious every morning. Especially loved the lattes and chocolate croissants.
Staff was very helpful and went out of their way to ensure that we had a great experience.

Situated just next to the Smithfield market and only about 6-8 minutes from the Farringdon station, thus close to both the Elizabeth line for Heathrow and the train to Gatwick.
There are restaurants about 4-5 minutes away, but none close the hotel, thus the area is fairly quiet.
By London standards, the room is of a good size, bed is comfortable and the breakfast is quite good

Other than a slight delay at check-in, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was sparkling clean, beautifully appointed, spacious and super quiet! Love the “Tiptoe” signs they had all over the property to remind guests of other guests. The location was perfect - about 20 min to many sites - London Bridge, Shakespeare’a Globe, short Tube ride to Soho / Picadilly, 45 min to Heathrow.

This was an almost perfect location, in walking distance of the train station, St. Paul's Cathedral and a wonderful choice of restaurants. Staff were helpful and friendly and the room was comfirtable - i think i slept for 9 hours on my first night. A microwave, even if in the lobby/kitchen area would have been convenient. I will be back.

The room was quite small - we had a family room and it was okay for the 2 of us, but small storage for our travel items as we were there for 5 days prior to a 2 week cruise.The washroom was newly refurbished and was very nice. We had the breakfast package and it was excellent and fresh everyday. We happened to be there during the tube strike and the hotel's location was great as we ended up walking to many attractions we had planned to take public transit. After 9am it was gridlock on the roads.

Welcome to Mass-Hospitality.
Location: highly convenient.
Think: Hyatt pricing with Motel-6 facilities.
Super positive: staff is definitely friendly and ready to help and do the job, however, with 600+ rooms, and 1 person for the night shift, well, you do the math.
We were welcome by an amazing sight of unclean toilet and stale odor in the bathroom.
Staff respondend and changed us to another room, in better conditions, yet not exactly clean.

Air conditioning was poor. It stopped from time to time by itself, causing the room to be very hot for sleep at night. There is no ventilation in the bathroom or the main room, causing the smell in the room very stiff and stale.
No cellphone signal in the room, barely in the lobby either. Free internet is very slow, as they ask for additional payment for faster internet.
Staff was helpful when coordinating breakfast issues.
