I felt very comfortable, safe, and take. care of here as a solo female traveler. I definitely recommend getting the deluxe room and will plan to be staying here again. It helps the food downstairs at the pub is great too!

Great location. The property had most things we needed but was missing some basics - no mirror other than the one in the bathroom, no toaster or grill option in the microwave (we had to pan fry our breakfast bread), no toilet roll holder. We stayed during the heatwave and it was unbearably hot in there with no air circulating but that was an extreme of course. We had to contact the support number twice (once because we couldn’t work the hob, the other time we had no hot water) and both times found the lady we spoke to extremely helpful.

Hotel was very nice with very large rooms. Everything was good, rooms just need alttle TLC and refreshing. Hotel close to a few Underground Stations and basically around the corner to the British Museum.
