Basic Accomodation, sadly two single beds as sold out. Large square shower head exploded onto my head as water pressure too strong and far too hot water- could be scolded. Shared my concerns and shower was mended but I was checking out so didn’t use again, had to shower with low placed hand held. No discount offered or anything to compensate my single bed or shower which was disappointing. Breakfast ok. Attentive staff, nice bar and festive decor.

There was like warm water for the shower in the morning. Would have appreciated it a bit hotter especially on a freezing cold day. You can hear the guests in the other rooms talking if you don’t have a tv or other device on in your own room. Staff were professional and kind.

This is a good hotel in a good location. Between two tube stops (Holborn and Tottenham Court) and easily walkable to other areas, I found this to be a conveniently located hotel. Pleasant hotel staff, from the front desk to housekeeping. An all around good choice for a reasonably priced hotel. Yes, there are elevators!!
