Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean and professional. Easy transportation from ST Pacras train station and even LCY airport. Close by Piccadilly line so traveling popular areas were so easy. Even walkable to Kensington palace and Hyde park areas. We were able to visit science and dinosaur museum which was our favourite at the first day by walking. 20-30 mins to other locations like London eye and Big Ben.
Room with a Great view!

Hotel OK, but nothing special. Bear in mind that it is located on a main thoroughfare therefore not the best location if you require a good night's sleep whilst there.

Joy

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good location + proximity to tube station. However, staff is condescending and rude. Many rooms are also equipped with "open showers" with no shower doors so water floods the bathroom while showering. Would not stay again, but the attitude of the staff demonstrates they are used to one-time travelers only.

BED BUGS & STAINED SHEETS: Unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel as there were bed bugs in my room, specifically on the bed and curtains. After multiple conversations with the hotel staff they swapped my room, which took around an hour and I ended up getting to sleep at 02:30. I am covered in bites on my legs and will have to quarantine my belongings to ensure the bed bugs do not enter my home. There were also stains and hair on the sheets. I was not issued an apology and had to insist on a new room. For the price and the cleanliness there a better hotels available. The area around the hotel however is very convenient.

Location good for seeing the sites. Hotel functional for a two night stay. Rooms small and sound insulation poor as we were kept awake by room above. Every footstep could be heard. Bed was comfortable but no beside table so customers used dressing table stool which was stained. Reception staff were helpful and efficient. Hotel is a 5 minute walk from Gloucester road tube station.
