Very good for solo travelers, I’d say. The walls are very thin, incredibly thin, but again, if you’re traveling solo, I don’t think this is a huge issue. The staff was lovely, so was the view. I wish the bathroom was ventilated, or a tad roomier, because I had an incident with the steam from my shower setting off the fire alarm. A member of the staff had to come into my room to check that everything was okay while I was wrapped in only a towel, soaking wet. Embarrassing, but understandable. It’s just something to keep in mind, I suppose! Good overall.
Staff are lovely, the hotel needs major updates. If you’re traveling in the summer, beware! There’s no air conditioning ☺️

An excellent, relative spacious hotel centrally located in Holborn with amazingly helpful staff. Siobhan was especially helpful, providing assistance on traveling to Cambridge and suggesting a fun personal tour for myself and my college age son that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about,
Ein Super Hotel in guter Zentraler Lage.
Sauberes Zimmer mit genug Platz und ein gemütliches Bett.
Das Bad war eher klein aber ausreichend.
Ich würde das Zimmer erneut buchen bei einem weiteren Besuch in London
Das Frühstück war ein erweitertes Engliches Frühstück. Mehr als ich erwartet habe.
Ich hatte ein Zimmer zur Strasse dadurch war es oft etwas lauter.
Leider konnte man auch den Fernseher vom Nebenzimmer deutlich hören.
A hidden gem right in the heart of the city- close to nearly everything, it is a beautiful building full of kind and friendly people who go to extraordinary lengths to ensure your stay is the best it can possibly be.
Cute, garden themed hotel, located in an area where its easy to get anywhere in London easily. Room was clean and comfortable, and having a bathtub was lovely on nights where the day was spent walking. Staff were friendly snd attentive.
Das Zimmer war schon sehr klein, das Bad winzig und aus den 80ern? Aber: ganz ok. Das Frühstück super!!! Personal sehr freundlich und v.a. Ist die Lage richtig gut.

Great 3-Star hotel in the heart of London for a very reasonable price! The only problem is that they do not have air-conditioning. But that didn’t bother me because I was there in January.
This is such a lovely hotel which is conveniently located for the tube, British Museum, shows, food and drinks. The reception staff were so nice and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.
