Overnight stay
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.

Jennifer, 13-night trip

6/10 Good

Liked the old school style of building and that the rooms were very clean yet very small. Would be good to have a proper coffee machine in the room and mini bar fridge.

10/10 Exceptional

A great stay!
We've had a wonderful stay at this hotel! We've been travelling with our small dog and the location has been just great, right at the Hyde Park. The staff is very nice and welcoming, the hotel is pet friendly. The hotel is not of the newest, but the rooms have very good beds and the price quality is very good!
