the room was a good size for one person. it was also sparkling clean. i found the location great since it was not far from st bart's.
i could hear everything coming from the corridor at all hours, it wasn't great when i was trying to sleep. i got woken up at 2 am from people talking in the corridor!

A bakery onsite provides an easy option for breakfast, offering pastries and coffee. It's a practical solution for a quick bite before heading out to explore, though the offerings are somewhat limited.

convenient and comfortable stay
great locationeasy accesssmooth arrivaltemperature control
the location is unbeatable with easy access to the elizabeth line directly from heathrow, it made my arrival smooth. a quick trip to tottenham court road station meant i could easily explore the city. i found plenty of cafes, restaurants, and pubs just a short walk away.
The room, while generally nice, felt a bit chilly. I wish there had been better temperature control. it wasn't a major issue, but it did impact my overall comfort slightly! it is a small detail i noticed.

The gym was a letdown. I expected more than a few cardio machines and some dumbbells. It felt really limited for a hotel of this size. there was no restaurant available which was disappointing. I was really hoping for a proper breakfast without leaving the hotel.
