The hotel is located in a convenient area near some quality restaurants and offers easy access to theaters and Euston station. The rooms, although small, are clean and suitable for a short stay. The service was average with minimal interaction, and the dining experience was basic but satisfactory. The hotel's location is a highlight for exploring the city, yet some aspects like the room size and service quality could be improved.

I had a unique experience staying in a converted coal cellar room that was quirky and divided into two sections, which surprisingly suited our needs well. The hosts were accommodating, but the room size was a bit cramped, feeling more like a box room. Despite this, the overall stay was satisfactory for the price paid.

6.4/10

The hotel's location is fine if you just need somewhere to sleep, being good, 15 minutes away from my office and less than 5 minutes from Tottenham Court Road. It was absolutely fantastic. The dining was good in terms of portion size, variety, and presentation, but the location in the basement without fresh air could be a big disappointment. The service went above and beyond, especially with a problem during my business trip. The hotel had a variety of services and amenities, but not everyone likes flavoured tea, and the breakfast room was tiny. The rooms, however, were in small hallway areas with some discomfort due to the soft beds.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were in a small hallway between the kitchen and breakfast room. They overlooked the back garden area with an old mattress dumped in the center. The smoking area right outside the bedroom window and being underneath the main staircase made it noisy with everyone going up and down. The bed was too soft and uncomfortable for our liking.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was superb, just a short walk to Oxford Street and central London, but the rooms were a bit cramped. The service was friendly but somewhat unprofessional at times. The dining had a good choice, but the homemade Belgian waffles were disappointing.

The hotel's location is perfect, just a stone's throw away from Goodge Street underground station and a short walk to Leicester Square. The rooms, despite being cold at first, offer a lovely view of a peaceful courtyard with birds. However, the room did not match the initial expectation of a double bed but was still spacious with a surprising box design.

7.0/10

Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag, with some great features but also some drawbacks. The rooms were a little on the small side, which might be more about the London reality than the hotel itself. The service was a bit hit or miss, with staff being professional and helpful but sometimes more focused on texting than assisting. The location was excellent for access to the west end and a few tube lines, but the Reception area could use some improvement. The dining experience had its ups and downs, offering a good choice but with some issues like cold plates. Overall, a decent option with its own share of quirks.
