Nice boutique hotel - room at the front into the street but wasn’t disturbed by any noise at night. Staff were excellent - v welcoming. Room was a great size and well appointed. Didn’t me as I need the exercise but a lot of stairs. Bellman carried the luggage up and down so no issue.

Friendly and helpful staff. We checked in very late at night and got a very small room with difficult access in the lower floor. We asked for a change of room and the next we were moved to much nicer and larger room. The staff was very helpful to accommodate our request

Lovely, slightly quirky boutique hotel with helpful staff. Recently refurbished, well-appointed rooms. Good continental breakfast. Very well situated in a good area that feels very safe at night, with access to several different underground lines.

Lovely boutique, independent hotel walkable to the University of London, parks and "Store Street" of Bloomsbury around the corner--local cafes, wine bars and restaurants. The staff at this hotel was courteous and helpful. The library and back garden were extra bonuses. Highly recommend this hotel for a stay in London.

We arrived at the hotel having had our suitcases stolen elsewhere - the staff were lovely and very helpful. Our room was very comfortable and the hotel is a little gem which resurrected our mini break! Breakfast was very good and again staff members friendly and very professional. We Will definitely stay again here. Special mention to Felix and Miguel on front desk!

Lift would be nice
Lovely comfortable, well appointed hotel, I know it is an old building, but a lift would be a real benefit if you are travelling with luggage also as an old building, it is easy to forget where your room is great rooms and great breakfast!
