    welcoming service
    homemade products
    small room
    creaky floorboards
    poor socket placement

    The reception staff offered welcoming service, which was a bright spot amidst several disappointments. The room, however, was far from the promised deluxe experience. it's small with very creaky floorboards. Frustratingly, there’s no conveniently located plug socket by the bed, making it awkward to charge devices. On the upside, the hotel showcased some impressive homemade local products, which added a unique touch to the stay.

    The room service was disappointing, taking over 45 minutes to respond, and the ironing board was broken when I needed it most.

    solid value

    A decent fit for a short stay in London with solid value. The air conditioning worked great during the heat wave. Keep an eye out for the gym etiquette to avoid awkward situations.

    family-friendly parks

    great access to london's landmarks and vibrant parks nearby

    During my weekend stay, it was just a few steps to the Museum of London and only about a 20-minute walk to the stunning St Paul's Cathedral, making it easy to soak in the city's rich history and beautiful architecture. as a family with children, we also appreciated being so close to various parks where we could relax and let the kids play after our city explorations.

    explore london easily from this central gem

    I had a wonderful stay in room 1557, where I enjoyed the peaceful quiet of facing an internal courtyard, making it easy to recharge before heading out to explore famous sights, with St Paul's Cathedral just about 20 minutes' walk away, and the iconic Barbican Centre only a short stroll away, providing ample opportunities for city adventures and park views.

    Good breakfast but needs an upgrade

    Stayed for a couple of nights in a standard room. The breakfast was tasty, especially the buffet! Staff were friendly too. But man, the room was a bit tired, could really use a revamp. Didn't get to check out the gym or pool, but kinda wish I had. If I asked for eggs, they couldn't figure it out.

    From the moment I stepped through the doors, the ambiance was captivating—a unique layout with maze-like corridors added character to my stay. The breakfast buffet was absolutely stellar. I mean, who doesn’t love a wide array of delicious options to kickstart their day?...

    Impressive breakfast selection and comfortable stay

    The breakfast offered an extensive selection of freshly baked pastries, organic juices, and various hot dishes, making mornings delightful. The room was spacious and well-equipped for comfort, which added to the overall experience. the hotel's decor felt a bit dated and could use some modernization to enhance the atmosphere.
