It has a great style and vintage vibe. It's just across the street from Hyde park, and there are multiple metro and bus stops at walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

This hotel offers some beautiful common spaces and was very clean. Our room was fine- no frills and as pictured- but a bit stuffy on warm days. The floors were a bit creaky so you could hear others walking around in the hallways. The location was fantastic- right across from Hyde Park and a quick 7-minute walk to the Central line tube.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It’s ok there are other hotels closer to the main attractions for less money. The rooms a very spacious but what’s the deal with separate hot and cold faucets on the sink either burning hot of freezing cold. The hotel is close to the tube, bus stops and big bus stops. Direct across from the park with some cool small shops and restaurants near by.

The quality of the cleanliness in the room must be acknowledged - our room was SPOTLESS. Please pass on our feedback to the cleaning team. Our only negative was the very thin walls. Our neighbour seemed to be having a party with their clothes hangers at 11.30pm, besides this we enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay again. Thank you!
