The hotel is located in a very busy part of London, close to Buckingham Palace and Victoria Station, which made it super convenient for sightseeing. The rooms were clean and had all the essentials, but they were a bit narrow and lacked good lighting. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially Laura during breakfast, but the dining options were pretty average. Overall, it offers decent value for money given its location, although there are some areas that could use improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, being pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms and how comfortable they were. The location is absolutely perfect, just a short walk from major attractions and with nice dining options nearby. On the downside, the dining experience left a bit to be desired, as the breakfast could use some improvement, and I noticed the need for room upgrades. Overall, it's a decent place to stay for the price with a few areas that could be better.

The room was much larger than I expected, featuring two large beds and a cozy seating area. However, it’s showing its age, especially the bathroom.

The service was quite pleasant overall, with the highlight being Taran at the bar who made my daughter's birthday special with a personal touch. However, I did find that not all staff were as attentive.

The breakfast was good but had its downfalls. While there were nice options like eggs and sausages, the cooked items were lukewarm and gluten-free options were absent on the last day.

I didn't really get a chance to explore the facilities extensively, but they seemed standard for a hotel in this category.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace and very close to Victoria Station. The rooms are spacious and clean, and even came with a fan to cool us down! The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. However, there were some issues with the fire alarms going off at night which was quite disruptive. Overall, it’s a great choice for exploring central London, offering good value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Victoria Station and other attractions, making it super convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful, which added to the experience. However, the room felt quite dated and in need of a refresh, and the bathroom fittings definitely showed their age. Overall, while the value for money was decent, the room condition could definitely use some improvement.
