Having just been totally refurbished, this is a fantastic
contemporary hotel, well-suited to accommodate any visitor to
London with its wide range of comfortable, newly renovated rooms.
Definitely one of the best budget accommodations in the whole of
London!.
Exterior: The hotel consists of what were once five very elegant
Victorian town houses, now connected and converted into a lovely
hotel. The attractive entrance, after a few steps, is flanked by
columns.
Lobby: The lobby is small but having recently been refurbished, is
very airy and modern. The wooden reception desk (please note
receptionist wearing a uniform is a rare sight in this type of
London hotel, and tell a lot about the service and quality offered
by this hotel) is set to the left, having accessed the hotel via an
automatic door. Flat screen televisions advertise sightseen tours
and London attractions. There is a new and modern lift right in
front of the reception desk.
Rooms
The refurbished hotel rooms are contemporary in style and suitable
for both individuals and families looking for convenient
accommodation units in which to relax. All the rooms are newly
renovated with new furniture and flat-screen TVs. The rooms come
with Internet access, tea and coffee making facilities, double
beds, central heating and a bathroom with shower. Standard rooms
are a little smaller than the Garden View rooms.
Restaurant & Food
The breakfast room is located in the lower ground floor. This is a
very spacious and modern room where Continental style breakfast is
served to all the hotel's guests. The hotel also has a coffee room
in the ground floor, next to the reception and lobby area. This is
a very large room with very high ceilings, beautiful, period
plaster coving and huge windows that floods the room with daylight.
The room follows the rest of the hotel's decor style and is very
modern, with butter colour painted walls, dark wooden furniture and
leather armchairs. Hot and cold drinks, hot pastries and light
snacks are served in this very comfortable coffee room. Guests can
also use it as TV room thanks to the huge plasma screen television
hanging from one of the walls, and use on of the several internet
points available in the room.
