Well worth the stay
Cool hotel, well appointed rooms, quiet at night, good food, great breakfast, and a pub downstairs. 2 minute walk to St James Park tube. What more can you ask for?

What a find!
What a find! Beautiful room, fabulous staff. Great breakfast menu with lots of vegetarian options. Only slight room
For improvement we noticed was lack of fresh tea and coffee at breakfast. Hot drinks from a catering flask included or buy fresh from the bar. I’ve already recommended and will be back.

great location
Great location within walking distance to all tourist sites. Clean hotel, small rooms, friendly staff. You eat at the pub for breakfast which was fine.

Great room, great location. Would return!
Great stay with friendly staff. Arrived a little early to leave luggage until check in at 3. We were pleasantly surprised to be checked in 2 hours earlier. This was a great bonus and the late check out on a Sunday was ideal too.
We were a little worried about noise being above a pub but it was a very quiet stay.
Overall, facilities were great. Pleasant shower and nice to have the bath too.
Breakfast in the morning was very good with a brilliant selection of choices. Plenty of plant based options too.
Only downside is we didn't get the temperature right in the room, we were either too warm or too cold.
Would definitely recommend as a central place to stay. We walked everywhere we wanted to get to but there is a tube station just a couple of minutes away too.

Awesome stay!!
Beautiful room decor. Comfy bed to watch tv or sleep.
Close to major sights with Westminster Cathedral in view from the entrance.
Restaurant attached with yummy food and drinks.
A stones throw from the Underground.
The front desk was hugely helpful with directions for the Underground due to many closures for a marathon.
Loved every minute.
