Liked: Staff & service
The hotel decor and room facilities are minimalistic to the point of being not comfortable, lack of shelves, place to put down your bath stuff or store your luggage. In order to change cloths you need to lift your suitcase and place/open it on top of the bed. Not for us. We are not coming again.

The staff was very friendly and the location is perfect. Very nice breakfast, although some some of the extras should be inclusive with the booked breakfast as well. One point of attention for us large Dutchies is to have a hook or two on the door or wall behind it for coats and / or towels to create a bit more space.

Breakfast was perfect sized. Not over indulging. Room was small but functional. I’d only recommend having some cosy lighting. And being in London it’s difficult to find a small boutique hotel where you don’t hear noise from the corridor or other rooms. Good stay and close to edgware road tube and busses, which is a bonus.

Staff was great, but the quality of the room didn't correspond to the price segment. There was nothing "design" about it, unlike other Design Hotels we've stayed at. The room felt cheap and poorly thought-out.

Could be great, but improved systems required

Room was compact but comfortable and exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, the service at reception seemed very disjointed and the check in process was very slow and tedious. Overall a good stay, but mainly due to the beds being very comfy rather than the overall service. If things can be streamlined a bit this could be a great hotel.

Nice location

The hotel was lovely. The room was good but there was no sockets by the bed. Had to run a lead from under the tv to the side of the bed.
