Stayed here overnight to see London for two days. Black hallways were interesting but the room was great. Easy for us and our teen who loved the pullout.

New York (NYC) to London (LHR)
9/10 Wonderful! (3,407 reviews)
Excellent location to the tube and bus station for both of my tours. Breakfast had a lot varieties and delicious. My 19 year old son was denied check in as my flight was delayed until the next day, even though his name was listed as a secondary guest and room was paid in full. I had to change my booking to reflect the reservation to have his name as primary. This should not be necessary, but he was allowed to have a room afterwards. It was tiring for him to arrive after flying in from the U.S. and stressed that he didn’t have a room. Staff should have looked at reservations carefully first time to see all the names of guests. Besides initial frustration, room was adequate and completely renovated. Recommend to stay here again in London.
