Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Hotel is near bus transit and a short walk to the tube as well. Very nice and quiet area. The hotel itself was nice. The staff were very helpful as well and it was convenient to have a bar/restaurant downstairs that was open late. My only complaints were the temperature in the room was rather warm (regardless of how low you set the thermostat). Also the one lift in operation was a bit of an inconvenience, but not too terrible. I’d also say that the room was clean, but could definitely use a deep clean for sure. Overall, I would stay here again.

Property was great, staff very helpful. Left our previously booked accommodation to come here, shared a king size bed with my cousin and was still a massive upgrade. Facilities clean, aircon room, great technology and amenities. Only downsides were aircon on lowest temp and highest speed didn’t really cool down the room enough, and unfortunately the elevator broke on our last day which is not the property’s fault, but we did have to drag our luggage down 5 flights of stairs.

Well, I’m not quite sure how to rate this hotel. The other reviews are correct- the temperature in the rooms is exceptionally hot. They gave us a fan for our second night and that helped, but you’d think that after many reviewers comment on the temperature, that they would try to fix this issue. The rooms are also quite bizarre (again mentioned in many other reviews). The bed takes up a third of the room and one person needs to climb over the other to get out of bed. The shower and toilet are located together and enclosed in frosted glass and not conducive to privacy. The sink is in the main bedroom area. The room feels more like a space shuttle pod than a hotel room, but we enjoyed our stay. The place is quirky for sure. The location is fantastic.
