    “It is definitely worth staying.”

    I traveled to London for a movie event and stayed overnight. Since I prioritized accommodation and flights, I ended up saving on dining and sightseeing. This is a review from that perspective. Reason for Choice - The location was within walking distance of the event venue. Positive Points - The location is the strongest point. - It's about a 2-minute walk from Gloucester Road subway station. - You can access it from Heathrow Airport via the Piccadilly line without any transfers, which helps reduce transportation costs from the airport. - It offers access to three lines: Piccadilly, Circle, and District, and since it shares the same zone fare as major tourist spots, you can save on travel expenses by using a credit card. - The staff at the reception and housekeeping are friendly and kind. - The hotel's building is an elegant historic mansion. - The room was spacious enough to open a suitcase. - The bed was very soft and comfortable for sleeping. - The room provided a Nespresso machine, tea bags, and bottled water. - The body soap and shampoo provided in the room smelled good. - The lobby had water infused with fruits, apples, and candy available for free. - I used the breakfast option (£25 plus service charge) once; it was a buffet mainly featuring English breakfast, and the flavors were very delicious. - There is a high-end supermarket next to the station and a discount supermarket about a 6-minute walk away, which helped keep food costs down with meal sets and fruits. - There are numerous other dining options, so there’s no shortage of places to eat. - Even though there are many restaurants, the security is very good, making it easy to go out for a walk. Negative Points - The replenishment of amenities was inconsistent; at check-in, there was only one Nespresso coffee pod, and hand towels were provided only on the last day. - While the building is historic, it shows some age, and there are gaps between the doors and floors, posing a risk for break-ins. - The toilet drainage was weak. - There are only stairs from the entrance to the lobby, and there is no doorman, so you need to carry your suitcase yourself. - There is no information available in the surrounding area, so you need to research independently. Overall Assessment Considering it's an expensive hotel, the service is generally reliable. While there are some signs of age and inconsistencies in service, the location and safety in the area are excellent, making it easy to enjoy sightseeing and gourmet experiences. I would definitely like to stay again. Postscript - As noted in other reviews, the corridors are complicated, and you might get lost, but I personally found it fun to explore the maze-like layout. - There is a coin laundry about a 5-minute walk away, but it is not very clean.

    “Great experience!”

    I had a very nice few days at this hotel First of all, the location is really good and close to the tube station from where you can go anywhere. The breakfast was sumptuous and the people working there were great and helpful in every way.

    “Not all rooms are ideal for business ”

    I stayed here for two nights and had a virtual meeting to attend in the early morning during this time and had a significant presentation to prepare for during my stay. For this reason, I clearly booked a room with a desk but when I arrived, they said there is no room available with a desk. They tried to accommodate me to a room on the basement that had no windows. As I’m slightly claustrophobic, I couldn’t accept that. I was told I can stay inside the room they gave me, without a desk, and change it the next day. That was very inconvenient tbh as I was already very exhausted from the week. The business centre was cold and right at the entrance and the seating area, so it was very noisy. The only good thing about this place was the breakfast. They gave me one night of complimentary breakfast out of the two nights booked for the inconvenience but I had to ask for it. I think single room bookers / solo travellers could do with some better treatment as I have noticed as vast majority of them are travelling for business. The first as well as the second room had no sockets near the bed, so I had to charge my phone away from my bed at night. The Internet also had issues causing disruption to my virtual meeting. Staff were otherwise exceptionally nice.
