"The room I was in was clean & I love that there were some nights where there was free dinners. The free dinners were the best part. Also, having towels that were decently priced and not overly expensive was a huge plus. You'll need to bring your own soap and washcloth though. 8/10 for me."

"Booked a private room with an en suite as a cheap option in London. I imagine most will be visiting when travelling, but I booked as a cheap option for a business overnight trip and just took a chance. Clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed. Free WiFi. I imagine it might be noisy on the lower floors but I was near the top and it was absolutely fine. Only criticism is that room was really warm.
Really conveniently located and honestly, I'd book it again for a cheap and cheerful convenient...

"We were very pleased with this hotel. Staff and hotel itself were wonderful. We had a one bedroom, with a sofa bed for our daughter, and it was a good space.
Walking distance to all the sights.
Would definitely stay here again!"
"No AC so the room was hot and with the window open it was very noisy from the road outside. Very hard to sleep. There was also only one wall socket so we had to get an extension cord so that we could plug our stuff in. I would not go back."
"The floors in the room weren’t particularly clean, water stains on the showe glass, unidentified dried green product on cheap plastic toilet seat. The self check-in kiosks are ridiculous but they do have two people running back and forth to help with it. Shower gel and shampoo are the only amenities. There isn’t even a water glass. There are no hangers or anywhere to put your clothes besides leaving them in your suitcase and three hooks. The mattress was so soft and spongey it was like sleeping in a hammock. The towels were thin and threadbare. I paid a lot of money for this room and it was NOT worth it. I would NEVER stay here again. If this is the future of ‘innovative’ supposedly hip hotels, it’s going to be a dystopian one."
"Beware that if you agree to signing up for their rewards program and agree to decline housekeeping services, the option for a 10 pound voucher is NOT good for their breakfast. We were told it was when we signed up and then was told at the breakfast venue it stated that it WASN’T good for breakfast on the voucher ( it did not). It was supposedly good at their restaurant (evidently the brunch area isn’t considered a restaurant), bar… no mention of where it wasn’t good at.
The breakfast/brunch was ok, but not worth the 25pounds per person we paid. We actually had a more extensive brunch at the Derby Holiday Inn, the week before, which was included in the room rate.
Also, they had an announcement one afternoon that an incident had occurred and to stay in our rooms for further announcements. Shortly, another announcement stated there was a fire and to leave the hotel. No fire doors were closed when we walked in the hall to the steps. We went down 7 flights, along with other guests and were escorted out the building. When we asked where the fire had been, several hours later, we were told by two separate employees that it had been announced it was a drill and not to worry about leaving the hotel. Clearly, that message was NOT what we heard and there was no concern shown that the fire doors weren’t activated when the alarm went off. I found that concerning.
Other than those incidents, the room and facility was very nice and employees were helpful."
