Absolutely terrible check in. The hotel is in a different building to all the rooms. You have to walk up the street to your room. All very confusing and with several bags of luggage, not fun. Wouldn't stay again and I'm in London quite a lot so have seen some sights!

Thank you for your feedback. The hotel is accurate and as advertised. We are 12 & 24 Penywern Road. We are confident that our rooms are some of the best value for money in London. The staff is always helpful with luggage as well.

Great property, clean, modern and luxurious. The rooms are fairly small but I would definitely stay again

Siisti, juuri remontoitu huone, myös kylpyhuone erinomainen. toivottavasti saavat hissin korjattua -oli kovaääninen. ei haitannut yöllä, kun kukaan ei sitä silloin käyttänyt -hiljainen hotelli siis. Aion käyttää uudelleen samaa hotellia. Suosittelen..

Das W-Land war gae nicht gut. Man konnte sich verbinden, aber das W-Lan hat knapp 30 sekunden gehallten. Die azimmer sind hellhörig.

Badezimmer äusserst klein. Die Rezeption wurde auf ein konstantes, störendes Summen im Zimmer hingewiesen. Man hat zwar gesagt, man kümmere sich darum, viel ist jedoch leider nicht passiert.

Nebst dem mürrischen Empfang beim Check-in, ein sehr guter Aufenthalt. Zimmer klein aber fein. Es war alles vorhanden was man braucht. Interessante Technik für Licht, Klima etc. im Zimmer. Sehr schönes Bad mit immer schön warmen Wasser (Dusche). Freundliche Menschen beim Reinigungspersonal.
