This was a very solid option near transit, restaurants, shopping and main attractions. The deal I got made this an incredible value and it was near perfect for a solo or even two travelers for the smaller rooms. I could probably nitpick at small things but it would be unfair. I was particularly happy to see the maintenance and renovation of this classical building so there was no compromise.

Stayed here 2 nights for a work trip, in a single bedroom with ensuite - the bathroom was decorated excellently and very clean though the space to shower was very small. Bed was comfy, sheets were clean, tea and coffee options good. Relatively quiet though I think pipes ran through my room so often sounded like running water in the room. Overall, clean, safe, convinient, very close to Natural History Museum, V&A, Science Museum and Royal Albert Hall, good for a stopover, tourist or business trip but definitely not spacious or full luxury. This was my second stay here, I would stay again but my room on visit 1 was nicer than the room on visit 2 in terms of space and layout. I would book again.
