Loved this hotel for its location. The Gloucester tube station is right across the street which makes it very convenient and so many walkable options within 20 mins or so. Coffee shops and small comfort shops on the street. Cute breakfast/tea restaurant next door that you don’t want to miss. Room was very comfortable but carpets could use a shampoo. Staff were wonderfully friendly. Would stay again!

The hotel is clean, tastefully decorated and very well maintained. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It is conveniently located very close to the Glouster Street tube station, which makes is easy to get anywhere in London. We ate buffet style breakfast there every morning and it had considerable tasty options. Highly recommend it.

The only caveat that should be included in the description of the location is that the Glouscester Tube (Subway) station that is a one minute walk of the hotel, DOES NOT HAVE access via elevators when arriving from the airport, so if you are traveling with luggage beware. Besides this the location, hotel, facilities, service, breakfast are EXCELLENT!!!
