Very nice, excellent location
Just in the middle between Holborn and TCR tube stations, a minute’s walk from the British museum and Oxford Street. The hotel is currently being refurbished, so this is probably why we got an excellent rate (and upgraded to an executive suite). Will definitely return if I get the chance to do so in the near future.

Good location
Great staff, especially the concierge, very helpful. I’ll be going back to London soon, and I’ll stay in this hotel again.

Don’t expect to much, would stay there again.
Hotel is a little pricey, however, what it lacks in amenities it makes up for in location. Great place to stay at if your in London for a short period of time. Be sure to request a double bed and check in early to get one, they don’t have too many rooms with them. Hot shower with plenty of water pressure was a major plus. Probably the best I’ve had in Europe.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
Conveniently located close to the British Museum and a short walk to the Theatre district and Convent Garden shopping. From the Holborn and Tottenham Court Road tube stops you can get anywhere in the city.
