Great hotel. Unbeatable location and great facilities. Rooms were nice size and modern looking. Our room was facing the entrance and it was a bit noisy at night - street noise.

The breakfast was indeed great. It was, however, the same options each day. For a stay of 11 plus days, the same meals each morning became very boring. Great breakfast nonetheless. The bed sheets were not thoroughly clean. There was evidence of hair on the sheets. Dare I say it did not look like hair from the head but from other parts of the body. The room was also cold. I do believe that the closed window does not provide an adequate seal from the outside low temperatures. Overall, it is a decent hotel if you are looking at price.

Enjoyable trip staying at the hotel as a party of 2, incredibly friendly staff and clean property. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast which included a range of both continental and cooked breakfast foods. The location of the hotel is excellent, 10minutes walk from Euston Train Station and 5minutes walk to the nearest Tube Station which is well connected on the Piccadilly line - all major tourist hotspots.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff at the front desk were very inexperienced. The customer service was very poor and minimal. During my stay, I had an emergency and had to check out a few days ahead of schedule. Front desk staff refused to give me any type of paper print out, indicating that I was checking out. I called back the next day when I had made it back home and spoke with the manager and even though they were free to check the rooms (the manager did not believe that I had checked out) and see that I had checked out and my family and I and our belongings were no longer there, they continued to refuse to send me any type of documentation that I had checked out early. They seemed very bothered by my phone call and not concerned at all that I had to cut my trip short due to an emergency at home. I would not recommend this hotel if you would like good customer service from the front desk or from the management. I would say that the maintenance staff was very courteous and helpful. I had an issue with a flickering light in my room and maintenance came right away and assisted/fixed the issue.
