location was pretty good, in a very nice, quiet and yet central location. nice area altogether.

the bathroom sink had the cold and hot water running from two separate places and it was impossible to wash your face and teeth without freezing yourself or getting burnt. couldn't quite understand why.

Superb location (peaceful and beautiful neigbourhood, 5min walk to Heathrow trains, lots of shops, cafes, restaurants etc. nearby), very helpful staff, good english breakfast, room size, cleanliness and overall condition of the room, security

creaking floors and poor soundproofing in rooms (could hear snoring from downstairs!), terrible hairdryer, carpet floors (not good for an allergic), separate taps for cold and warm water in bathroom, shower not very comfortable, continental breakfast was dissapointing, hard pillows

Friendly staff, good breakfast, location, decent-size room for hotels in this price category in London.

Room quite hot without obvious effect of adjusting thermostat; an occasional hair in the bathroom that wasn't mine.

Staff were all very helpful. Room was clean and tidy. Ideally placed for our needs.

As with older buildings the plumbing noise can be a distraction.
