Excellent hotel
"The check in was great! Very friendly staff. Comfortable bed, very clean and very well equipped. The fridge was too noisy and disturbed our sleep. Hardly slept a wink because of it. If it wasn’t for that it would be all 5 star. Great location! Easy to walk to Piccadilly station."

"Nice hotel, had a special request ahead of booking and hotel agreed but unfulfilled when arrived in the room with no notice. Nice industrial but cozy vibe of the room however the exposed pipes above caused condensation and leaking of rusty water on the floor. Breakfast was really delicious!"
