This is a great place to stay in the Bloomsbury area of London, it’s a very central location. It’s easy to get to many attractions from here on foot, by bus or on the tube. The hotel itself is massive and the rooms may be a bit small but it’s very well staffed, has a great buffet breakfast and all the amenities you need. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Of the three of us staying in the room I’m the only one that had some wifi connection issues. This is my second stay here in 2 years and I’ll definitely stay again for our next visit. Rob N

It was a lovely stay, and everything was great. I just never checked out the AC situation and never expected it to be 28 degrees every day. We were placed on the 7th floor and the room was a sauna 24/7, no breeze came through the window at all, we had a fan but there is only 3 plugs in the room (+the tv one and none beside the bed) I understand its an old hotel and that is on me but I never expected something could be so HOT when it was cool outside in the mornings and evenings but the room never let up at all!!!!!!!! I would definitely stay again; it was a great location, and the staff was very helpful. I just would maybe come more prepared with portable fans if in the summer or stick to choosing to stay here during the non-summer months. Overall, great stay for its price and location on one of the busiest weekends in London in the summer!

Hotel is nice. Centrally located. Ease of travel and food around. However, it seems to be a choice hotel for school trips making it noisy and filled with children. Also, if AC is important do not book this hotel. Rooms do not have AC and very little to no airflow. No vent in the bathroom which can lead to mold growth. Only solution was a small desk fan which did not really help the sweltering heat. Other than that hotel is nice.

Check in took a really long time, around 30 minutes. I would suggest they have a separate queue for visitors from the UK as the checking passports for overseas visitors seemed to take ages. Room was ok although no A/C or fan so very warm. Our shower only had very hot water although that was fixed quickly by maintenance once I reported it. It is convenient location.

A surprise to us is this hotel does not have air conditioning and also did not provide any fan. So during the hotter days of our stay in London, it was not very pleasant to stay inside the room.

I requested a quiet room and was put on the first floor at the front of the property so it was very noisy from the traffic. We had to sleep with the window open because there was no air conditioning in the room and it was a hot weekend. Good location but probably wouldn’t stay there again because of the noise and no air conditioning.

Based on the pictures you couldn’t tell this is a massive hotel with hundreds of room per floors. The hallways vibe « The Shining ». The staff is rude, long waiting lines at the desk and elevators. No A/C in the room and no ventilation. I rented a « familiy room » which was in fact a 2 person room with 4 twin beds with barely any space to move around making this a security risk. I understand London is expensive but this wasn’t cheap either for this.

Room was clean and comfortable, staff were all lovely, very helpful and quick to help too. If you stay when the weather is warm, ask for a fan at check in (don’t wait too you get to your room) - our room had no aircon or fan so was absolutely roasting. Don’t think most other rooms had either. The staff brought a fan to us when we called reception from the room. We didn’t eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food etc.

Decent hotel in a central location. I stay here often when on business. This time, the experience was not good. It was very hot and there was no air conditioning. The hotel is well kept and the staff are lovely. But the lack of air con is a significant drawback in summer.

It's ok. You get what you pay for. The location is convenient and the room is ok for a short visit. The building is rather old and the amenities too. It really could do with an upgrade. The building traps heat and during a heatwave not the best combination and there's no air conditioning and the tiny desk fan isn't that helpful if in a big room with multiple people. There's severe lack of electrical sockets and charging phones etc becomes difficult. As someone with mobility problems the bathtub was rather slippery. Additionally housekeeping did not leave us with loo rolls so we ran out. Good thing is that there are water refills in the lobby.
