I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, perfect for a family of four. The staff was very helpful and apologetic about the out-of-service lift, going above and beyond to assist with luggage and TV issues. The location was fantastic with great transport links and proximity to restaurants, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was okay, limited to a continental breakfast, but the facilities were satisfactory. Overall, considering the competitive price, it was a fair deal.

The hotel is in a prime location, near Hyde Park and subway stations, making it very central. The rooms, though small, are cozy and provide good value. The service was friendly and accommodating, even if breakfast was continental-style. The dining experience was basic but sufficient. A definite advantage is the proximity to notable attractions and shopping areas.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although small, was cozy and warm, but being right next to the elevator made it noisy at night. The service was attentive, with the staff checking if everything was okay and assisting us with our luggage. The location was convenient, close to the underground and various food options, but the dining options were a bit disappointing, with limited choices for breakfast. Facilities were decent, although there were areas that needed improvement.

Upon arrival, we were offered dark rooms facing a construction site, not the best first impression considering the price paid. However, the spacious hotel had tea and coffee facilities and a clean environment. The rooms were quite warm even in winter but the limited window opening didn't help much.
