Lovely little place to stay. Easily walk to two different Tube stations. Rooms are small, so may not work well for long stays. AC and heating work well. Everything was clean and well maintained.

We had a 2 night stay at this lovely, new hotel. Very clean, beds wonderfully comfortable. Pillows a bit hard so a choice of pillow would have been better. Checking in was a bit of an ordeal, system issues and language barrier. I understand systems can be challenging at times but there was no customer care, I did not feel welcome, made to feel it was my fault. took my phone off me to check my booking but scrolling through it, which disturbed me. The only time staff were nice was when we were leaving. Need to do better. Room small but worked well with appropriate furniture. Shower - power was lacking, looked great but disappointing. Good area, with short walk to the tube. Overall, yes I would stay again but customer service needs to improve.

Staff were really friendly, allowing us to check in early and looking after our bags after we’d checked out. When we popped back in and out of the hotel during our stay they regularly checked that everything was okay with the rooms or if we needed anything. The room was cosy with all the amenities we needed. Well decorated, clean, cosy and in a great location about a 5 minute walk from the nearest tube station.

I would have rated this property an overall excellent with the exception of one major issue. The hotel is beautiful, new and has gorgeous decor. Our king room, although “compact” had NO storage for our clothes other than 5 hangers. No chest of drawers, shelves, etc. I had to stack our packing cubes on top of a vanity serving as a nightstand. We stayed for 3 nights but for longer stays the lack of storage would be uncomfortable since you’re practically living out of your suitcase. Very unfortunate! Beautiful design and decor with no practicality.
