Great boutique hotel in Bloomsbury
This is a lovely small hotel, staff are helpful and friendly and it’s just a short walk to Tottenham Court Road and Covent Garden. The only negative we had was when we booked it the room description said there was a bath and this is something we always look for. We specifically chose this hotel for that reason however when we accessed our room there was only a shower so we were very disappointed- not sure if this is the hotel’s mistake or hotels.com. I suspect the hotel has given the incorrect information to hotels.com but either way it should be updated. We would not have chosen this hotel otherwise - we usually stay in Covent Garden but thought we’d try somewhere different for a change. Not many hotels in London have bathtubs so when we find one we will book it but we’ll definitely be more hesitant next time.

Not as luxurious as I expected
Moved me into a single room (which felt like a closet) because of overbooking. Did give me a credit and also moved my 2 friends into an attic room. Closed the bar early the first night we were there which was a bit disappointing as my friends had arrived late from different parts of the world. Breakfast was delicious, the service was very good and the staff friendly. Lounge areas very comfortable and location was great.

Reception staff were really helpful and when we were given a room on the 3rd floor were happy to move us as the stairs were very steep and narrow. There isnt a lift. Breakfast was very nice and service excellent. Bar service wasnt very good and a very very small space. It was nice but i wouldnt stay again and for the price we were very disappointed.

The hotel is attractive and well-maintained. The staff is excellent: helpful, friendly, and very professional. High marks to the house-keeping staff, the front desk, and the breakfast servers. I deliberately chose the hotel so that I could walk back and forth to the British Museum. Other significant museums were easily available by public transportation, Uber, or cab. Some shopping is available on Tottingham Road, near-by. More extensive shopping and vibrant nightlife are found in other parts of town.

I thought the room was suitable, the location was excellent, a delicious breakfast was included, but be aware that there are no elevators. The stairs might be a problem for some--carrying luggage was challenging, and we had to ask for help from the staff.
