It was meh and the layout of the room is a bit weird. to add, the sink was really smelly and my ac was not working which took two days for the hotel to fix. They had “fixed” it the same day however the cold air started to come on the second day. Also the bed had hair on and it the sheets did smell a little. Also very little ventilation in the room, so I had to order a fan. It was ok for once but I would not stay here again

A Perfect Stay

Very friendly and helpful staff! The rooms are nicely decorated and super comfy bed. I stayed in a main street facing room and it was very quiet. Didn't have a chance to try their breakfast but it looked really good. The hotel is perfectly situated across the street from and M&S and Saint 9 Coffee (awesome).

Absolutely brilliant

This hotel went above and beyond for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. I couldn’t fault the staff at all they were all extremely polite and friendly to me and my daughter. They all greeted you with a smile and were all helpful. I will definitely be returning for my other daughter’s birthday and I will now always stay here when I need to be in London. This hotel is also in a great location and has a real edge with their unique design.Thank you again CitizenM 🙂

Unfortunately, the hotel was down to one working elevator when I first arrived. Within the 4 days of my stay, the only working elevator also went out of service which meant taking the stairs 5 flights of stairs a couple of times a day. Very inconvenient and difficult after walking all day sightseeing in London. Hopefully, both elevators is up and running safely very soon. Fortunately, the hotel staff were kind and helpful during my entire stay. Shout out to Shani at the front desk for being so kind and helpful. Another staff member named Shaniah was also helpful and polite. Overall, I had a pleasant stay minus the inconvenience of no working elevators for the majority of my 4-day stay. I would still recommend this hotel because of it’s location, well-equipped room, nice lobby, and helpful staff.

Property was great, staff very helpful. Left our previously booked accommodation to come here, shared a king size bed with my cousin and was still a massive upgrade. Facilities clean, aircon room, great technology and amenities. Only downsides were aircon on lowest temp and highest speed didn’t really cool down the room enough, and unfortunately the elevator broke on our last day which is not the property’s fault, but we did have to drag our luggage down 5 flights of stairs.
