Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved the hotel's perfect location, close to London Euston train station and set in a beautiful area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating to my requests. However, the dining options were below average, offering only scrambled eggs. The hotel offers excellent value for its prime location and service.
I stayed at a hotel with good beds and a generator in Barcelona. The rooms were comfortable, but the dining options were limited. The service was accommodating, but the Wi-Fi was not ideal. The location was well-located but lacked some facilities.
The hotel offers cozy rooms with small transportable heaters and spacious lockers for your backpack, but lacks spare beds. The service was accommodating, with efforts to minimize noise, though music requests were only partially fulfilled.

A welcoming atmosphere coupled with a security guard presence adds to the appeal, yet the pricing may not suit all budgets.
