Good single room, clean -- too clean in a way as towels seemed to be replaced although I hung them as requested to show I didn't want them replaced. The TV wouldn't function after the first day, perhaps a flat battery ... pleasant breakfast room! Owing to the nature of the building, there's only one rather small (& slow) lift which was a minor problem for the elderly (such as myself) who don't fancy four flights of stairs. But despite a warning that hot water might be slow to arrive, it was fine. I may well come again; very convenient location for me.

Great hotel & central to get about. Smells amazing. Close to tube stations & walking distance from Euston. Hotel was very clean, warm and smelt amazing. Room was comfy, a little dated but clean, decent size for twin room. Dressing table chair bit too large for the room really. Room far too hot but we turned radiators off so not a problem. Tea, coffee, water in room. Shower was really powerful. Towels great quality and fluffy. Breakfast great. Choice of cooked, continental, fresh fruit and more. Reception and dining room staff all welcoming, polite & friendly. Both reception chaps Minarul & Tanveer are a real credit to the hotel. Both so helpful. We had actually checked out, left our bags but thankfully remembered we hadn’t emptied the safe. The reception chap took me back to the room on our return to collect it. Allowed us to rest in reception before heading off to the train. Would def recommend this place.

The three star rating is spot on. This is a moderate- to low-end hotel by almost all, measures. Upon check in during a heat wave, I asked if there would be a fan in the room. The answer: There should be. I had to look for it, but it was there. The elevator stops at the sixth floor but my room was one more flight on the 7th. At check out, I suggested that the room was too hot; the response I received was: All of our rooms are hot.
