The hotel offers rooms with the smallest possible double bed in the market, but the breakfast is very good. The staff, including the duty manager, may not be the most welcoming, but the receptionists are great. The location is very convenient, being close to public transport and various attractions. The dining includes hot food as a bonus but lacks fresh fruit varieties. Overall, a mixed experience with some ups and downs.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, close to everything I needed. The rooms were cozy and had a truly matrimonial bed, making me feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious, and the service was top-notch. However, the duty manager was a bit off, and some updates on the facilities would be great. Overall, a great value for money!

The hotel is conveniently located near Gloucester Road tube station and within walking distance of various restaurants. The rooms are equipped with a small double bed and a walk-in shower, but the lack of cool air might be uncomfortable. The service is great overall, with friendly receptionists, although the duty manager at reception might not suit the hospitality industry. The dining options include hot food, yet the fresh fruit variety is limited. The location is excellent for reaching popular places in London, with easy access to public transportation.
