Excellent stay
Was here on a solo trip and the staff were lovely. I didn't get a chance to use the spa as I was so busy but I would definitely use it next time I stay.
The bed was comfy and the room a perfect size for one person staying. It was nice to be asked if I wanted a room with a bath or shower as I forgot to request a bath beforehand.
Having a Starbucks franchise in the lobby was a great feature as I was able to sit with a coffee doing some work for a bit before I was able to check in. The conceriege was lovely as well and as a solo traveller with a disability automatically came outside to help me with my bags and when leaving the hotel. Even offering to get me a taxi if needed.
I would definitely stay here again.
The location from hotel to tube station again is brilliant, as it is a couple of minutes down the road from the tube exit. This is an ideal location.

Average
Smallest room I’ve ever seen. The “king sized bed” was 2 beds pushed together but not attached so every time we moved, the beds would move apart!

Excellent one night stay
Met at the door by a well dressed doorman. Reception very friendly. Excellent first impressions. Room was basic twin , no view but clean and very good . Bed very comfortable. Good facilities. Plenty of towels. Used the pool which was good. Limited space due to lessons taking place. Breakfast excellent. Will definitely stay again when visiting London.

Hotel good. Facilities poor. Avoid the bar!!!
Lots of lifts out of order. Food in the bar took an hour to arrive then the chicken was dry (overcooked). Guess the ‘chef’ went for a break and forgot it. Then got charged for a double but asked for a single. BEWARE CHECK YOUR BAR BILL!!!
