Great location; across street from Hyde Park and close to transit stations. Beautiful old building and rooms were adequately sized, but the decor needs attention. I understand that they are going for a retro ‘70’s vibe, but it just looks shabby and old and needs some refreshing. Smells a bit musty too. It could be really beautiful on the inside if some updating was done. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay.

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.

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.

The stay was pretty good, the room was ok but the bathroom was clearly out of date. There was also a very strange layout of the rooms on the floor but it wasnt too big of a deal. It also had a large elevator so even if several people were in there with large luggage it was not an issue.

Not bad but I won't return.

The location is great, however the hotel is old. A few problems. Only two towels were provided. Haven't they heard of hand towels? The WiFi is terrible... especially on the 4th floor. But the worst was a lack of a coffee machine and a fridge. This is an expected aspect of most hotels these days. The staff was friendly and the shower was good but a bit low.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we reported our TV wasn't working, they came quickly to see the problem, tried to sort it while we were out in the evening and when they couldn't, offered us another room and a free breakfast as compensation. I thought this was excellent customer service. The only downside of our room was that it was an adjoining room (for families to share two rooms together). Unfortunately that meant that the shared door was quite thin and the two young men next door were quite talkative so that at 12.30am I had to say we were trying to get to sleep!
