Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is located in an area that felt very safe and was within walking distance of a train station to easily travel as needed. Was also located near several restaurants and shops to pick up anything needed. The room was great aside from the shower. The large shower head in the ceiling had very poor water flow while the handheld nozzle had much more power. My room was located on the lowest level of the property which was very secure but also a bit noisy since I could hear all foot traffic activity in the front office which was directly above my room. The breakfasts each morning were great with a lot of variety. I would recommend this property to anyone needing a place to stay in the London area.

Rooms were way smaller than they look in the photos. The shower is quite tiny and needs some sort of upgrading in order to prevent water from getting out as it can easily become a hazard. Staff was quite pleasant and kind. Due to ny jetlag, i ended up waking up after checkout time and checked out like 30 minutes late. Staff was so understanding

Very clean and fresh towels daily and room cleaned each day. Very close to Olympia Station if you want to use trains/tubes. If you want to go to Buckingham Palace, turn left, walk down to end of street, turn left and go 1 block. #9 bus takes you in to town. Great place to stay unless the elevator breaks and you have a disabled parent with you. Not so easy to take luggage up and down, either. Young man on the desk was extremely rude when elevator broke twice during our stay. All other staff were great! Breakfast adequate, but nothing special. Shower was great, but could use grab bars for disabled persons. Would probably stay again.

Condition of property was good but ever time someone opened a door, the door to my room banged against the frame waking me up multiple times. Despite mild weather outside it was also very hot so had to sleep with the air conditioning on.

Good location for access to central London, or travel to Wimbledon for tennis. Very friendly and accommodating staff (in the main). Room in basement did have windows, but was quite dark and overall maintenance could be improved. Bathroom very dull, as one of the spotlights and the over mirror lights were broken. Informed reception (don’t think this was news to them) and nil fixed whilst we were there. It was pretty quiet at night, which was great. Pillows included a memory foam option that was comfy, but unfortunately mattresses not great. Breakfast ok - pretty limited options (same every day) and hot food not very hot.

Fab hotel. Friendly staff and beautiful furnished room. Only a few things that were an issue. The TV had a signal issue and did not work. There was faulty light in the bathroom which made the bathroom extra dark. Breakfast was great, beautiful garden to sit in the morning. Would stay again

A much more impressive hotel and room than we expected from some reviews, but we did notice basement rooms too which perhaps are less grand. Number 1, by the door had tall ceilings, a mini kitchen area, a huge walk in closet (perfect for the suitcases if you're staying more than overnight) and the ensuite while small was fully refurbished and very clean. We had booked a twin but unfortunately the message hadn't been passed to the hotel but they sent a team almost immediately to rectify the bed situation. Great service. The receptionist was friendly and helpful too. Breakfast downstairs was pleasant but with definite room for improvement on the qualiity of some items. And I'd also prefer to be able to cool the room further than the pre-set temp. We were rather warm overnight. Overall tho', much MUCH better than many other hotels at the same price point.
