Disliked: Cleanliness
Woke up covered in bed bug bites. Bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The front desk staff seemed less than interested in asking about why I was checking out early and had no follow up when I told them there were bed bugs in the room. Not even an offer to refund the two days I wouldn’t be staying in their unhygienic accommodation. Pathetic.

Staff was lovely and helpful. They allowed me to check in a bit early, which was particularly kind as I found myself suddenly without a place to stay for the night. Room was clean and had everything I needed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Upon arrival, the receptionist was very polite and it was so quick to check in. The room was ideal for a solo traveller staying for one night. The room, wardrobe and shower room / toilet was all very clean with no complaints. The location was exceptional being such a short walk to Hyde park, Harrods, public transport
