This hotel was situated in a great location; however, overall the stay was quite average. The room we stayed in was located in the basement with a large window, causing a lot of noise to leak into the room from the busy street at night even with the window closed. The check-in staff were not impolite, but were very matter-of-fact and didn't make us feel particularly welcome. They told us to only contact reception in case of emergency. The room amenities were as expected (although, due to the fact the building is older, the carpet was ripped and walls have been molded over time and again) but nothing that would make our stay memorable. The room was clean, with some toiletries and uncomfortable towels. Communication wasn't great; a week before our stay we requested a double bed; we didn't hear back until the night before our stay. The beds themselves were not overly comfortable.
Overall, this was a decent place that we didn't mind staying at, but wouldn't re-book. There were no major negatives, but there were very few notable positives making us want to try something else next time. Value for money was good, considering this is very near central London.
