Lovely hotel in a leafy quiet road

Very nice clean accomodation. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Room was well appointed and clean. Would have been better if we could have worked out how do cast to the TV, instructions were given but it didn't work. Coffee machine seemed to be a bit temperamental. But small niggles, generally a very decent hotel. Best thing for us was the location, which was quiet, down a wide leafy street opposite a children's park. Lovely, quiet and safe. Ten mins walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras and ten mins from Russell Square and British Museum.

This was a great hotel option. Convenient and lovely. But heads up— there is no elevator. If you have big luggage, thick can be hard. Staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.
