We were not in the main part of the hotel, our room was over a walkway in another building. The room was very tired, dark and dingy, and really noisy at night as we were over a pub. We felt very let down and felt we should've been notified that our booking was not for the main hotel.

We were asked if we wanted to upgrade our room on arrival but it would've been another L55 per night. Is this why we weren't put in the main building? (We had paid L280 for two nights already).

The only consolation was that the location was central and we could walk to where we wanted to go.

Went here with my husband and friends for our friend's birthday.

On arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite, which we took, it was only a few pounds extra but 'wow'! Would definitely do that again.

The hotel, and staff (apart from the Bar) were excellent.

Bar: The Staff couldn't really be bothered to bring your drinks to you, left them on the bar, but the extortionate service charge was still added to the bill (this is not a tip as you can add those as extra).

Paid first time without noticing, but the second time, no way, called the Bar Manager over to explain what the service charge was for (2.50 per round), he couldn't give a good reason so took the bill away and brought another over without the charge!

The Hotel is very clean, not run down, the breakfast very good, all in all a very good stay and will go there again.

PS just read the review about the bed bugs? Not sure if he is talking about the same hotel!

I stayed at this hotel for about a week when I was over in London for work.

The hotel itself is nice and the decor is fine but the room I stayed in had a serious bed bug problem.

At the time I didn't even know bed bugs existed so I really had no idea what on earth was happening to me as there were so many bites it almost looked like I was allergic to something.

What angered me after was the fact that the manager at the time didn't know what I had either...but being in the hotel business, I find it hard to believe that the manager has never seen a bed bug case before. All the hotel manager told me to do was go to a Pharmacy to buy some allergy medicine.

Upon seeing a doctor when I returned to Canada, I was told that I had a severe cast of bed bug bites and had to take steroids to suppress them for a couple months.

This review is a long time coming because for the most part, I just wanted to forget it ever happened. I understand that bed bugs is a problem for hotels everywhere no matter how many stars.

However, I simply did not appreciate how they handled my situation. I did in the end, settled the matter with their insurance company.

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in August 2008. Picked the hotel based on reviews from Tripadvisor. Our total cost (between two people) and including breakfast was 450 euro, this included a 15% discount from a promotion on the website we booked with (Hotels.com), which I found to be a very good rate for the quality and location.

The room, a twin, was small but functional with a large bathroom. It was at the very back of the hotel though and was very tiring walking back there after a long day. It wasn't shabby like some of the other reviwers mention, I was very happy with it.

The location of the hotel can't be beaten, everything we were interested was either within wakling distance or a short journey on the tube. When we were feeling lazy, it was easy to pick up a taxi as there were lots outside the hotel too.

The only issue I had with the hotel was that they attempted to charge us for breakfast, which we had already prepaid when we booked. I had to show them my printout from hotels.com (luckily I had brought it) before they would accept that. Then on the last day, they tried to charge me again for it, but backed down very quickly.

I would definitely return to the hotel when visiting again.
