We really had hoped to leave a positive review on this hotel. First of all we would state all staff were friendly and, as far as they could be helpful. But there failings stem from management, design and direction. I guess from time to time you get a “challenging “ hotel stay - and this was one. We arrived early, which was our problem and waited 40 minutes to the official check in time. It was about 45-50 minutes later and, at reception, we were told that room had not yet be cleared to check in on the system. That is a system fault and does not meet stated terms. The to the room, about which more later. It was not in the building but a modern pod construction outside with an open air walkway to room. One in the room there appeared no door to the bathroom. When queried at reception we were looked at as if we were not all there. Problem - a sliding door which had no backstop and someone had retracted it so that it was neither visible nor accessible. Maintenance came, very pleasant, and fixed by sticking a finger or tool into some space in the upper rail recess; seemed to suggest to my wife she could have done same. Not only is she 75 years old, but the deficiency was a room service issue and should have been reported/dealt with buy housekeeping or maintenance before being cleared - another systemic failing. Then to cap it all, when leaving to checkout after two nights my wife fell over a step in the hotel just inside a door from outside into the main building!

We stayed in the Virginia Woolf suite which provided lots of space for our family of four. Excellent bedroom and bed. Larger bathroom than in some hotels here. We knew there was no a/c and despite the heat, we utilized fans and kept drapes closed when out and it was fine. Decent coffee in the room. Bloomsbury area south of the hotel (Lamb Conduit st) is lovely to wander and get a drink/food. We walked from Covent Garden in 20 mins. Walking north to Kings Cross was 10 mins - easy to hail a cab when with luggage. Hung out in Granary Sq (great for kids) and visited The Lightroom. Only quirk is breakfast set up located in basement where you check in. Space is teeny tiny but the staff don’t really let you grab and go (which would be ideal). Definitely worth the walk over to the college for breakfast - lots of space and choices. Just abit confusing initially. Overall, convenient location for Eurostar and hard to beat size of the suite. Very quiet setting given location to Kings Cross. Recommend.

Overordnet pænt, rent og hyggeligt hotel. Men dog med enkelte fejl og mangler, som gør at oplevelsen ikke er helt så god. Værelset var utroligt småt. Som i meget småt. Men det gik nok. At der så var flere ting på værelset som var i stykker, eller ikke hang ordentligt fast på væggen, gjorde at man fik en fornemmelse af sjusk. Vi havde bl.a. en lampe som hang, et spejl som ikke sad fast, og en havedør som ikke kunne åbnes (derved ingen mulighed for at få frisk luft ind i værelset). Badeværelset var lille, men fint og rent. Dog mangler der knager til at hænge håndklæder op, når man er 2 personer. Morgenmaden var altså også lidt kedelig. Ville jeg benytte hotellet igen? Ja det ville jeg nok. Men så vil jeg måske sørge for at få et værelse på selve hotellet, og ikke ude i gårdhaven (eller hvad man skal kalde det). Det skal siges at vi ikke har påpeget fejl og manglerne til hotellet.

Needs TLC / Investment

A nice space and location. The decorations and ammenities for the room are well done. However, it needs some maintenance and new carpet. The carpet was all stained and disgusting in our room and hallways. And there were chips and repairs in the walls that were not touched up with paint. And there is NO A/C.
