Stayed here with a friend while we visited London for a concert. Hotel was 10 minute walk from Euston station so location was ideal for us. Room was clean, comfy beds and they took in to account my request for a room at the back which was very quiet no outside noise at all. Ideal for a quick overnight stay.

The room was clean and nice. Decent size for two people. The only concern is the shower is tight with no door. Water spill on the floor and can be slippery. Very nice breakfast. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood close to a tube station and train station. If you prefer walking, it is only 15 to 20 minutes walk to major attractions.

Although part of a very large hotel the separate City Sleeper check in was fast and efficient. The room and bathroom were small but clean and well maintained. Although it is rated 4 star there was no fridge which I would have expected, and most unfortunately as our stay coincided with the 35 degree heatwave, no air conditioning. A small fan was provided but this was not a great deal of use in the intense heat exacerbated by direct sun, making sleep virtually impossible. The location is excellent, within walking distance of e.g Kings Cross and Covent Garden and Russell Square tube station._

Hotel room was small but very clean and modern fixtures in bathroom, older building so outside noise is loud from hall and street. Location was good for exploring london, hop on hop off bus right in front was a plus. Restaurants very close the Salad restaurant down street was a plus, negative for hotel breakfast, 2 hotels in one. City Sleeper definitely best of 2. Will definitely recommend for a short stay.

This hotel is in a lovely district of London. The staff are friendly and really helpful. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. The only quibbles are the lack of an outlook, but it is quiet as a result, and the entry is bland.
