8/10 Very good

Close enough to be able to walk to where I wanted to go. Huge bath, lovely glass of bubbles on arrival, staff on check in were lovely, the man on the desk at 4am didn’t understand when I asked if he had lemonade I could buy. Lifts were out of order, one was sign posted the other we just found out it was out of order when myself and another traveller were stood waiting and no lift came down. Signs to my room needed to be more clear too.

Good hotel, good staff, don’t have breakfast.

Very nice stay - room aircon wasn’t working initially but moved to an alternative instead and all was well. Credit to Martin on reception for his helpfulness. Wouldn’t bother with the breakfast though - not worth it at all for the price, just a croissant and jam. Many better options locally.

If the bar had been open for residents til a little later in the evening then the stay would have been even more perfect. But thanks everyone for making our stay so enjoyable.

Great property amazing location

Very. Icely surprised with my stay here, I have to say best all expectations Only downside was the WiFi, I was on business and kept signing off every so often and also very slow
Maximiliano, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The blonde woman checking people in in reception yesterday afternoon (Weds 24th) was unbelievably rude, unhelpful and after saying it was a £100 card pre-auth (despite your own website and T's and C's saying £50 pre-auth) told me if we didnt like it we could leave just handed us our key card. Didnt tell us which room we were in, didnt hand us a glass of prosecco (when we came back to reception after going the wrong way, we saw her giving them to another couple checking in). The room was clean, but there was a strong aroma of poo, i did have to open the windows to air out the room. Great location, but, i'm not sure i'd visit again.

The room was clean with modern decor and had a lovely view of the canal. The hotel is located a short walk from Piccadilly station, and within walking distance to many shops, bars and restaurants. We will definitely visit again in the future.

Excellent, friendly hotel - great location.

This hotel boasts fantastic, friendly service. A delightful check-in experience which included a glass of prosecco. The room was large and comfortable. I'd suggest two improvements - the room had large glass windows at a 45 degree angle. This means that the blinds only blocked out about 70% of the sun. The bed is directly under the windows meaning that as soon as the sun came up, the sun was shining directly on me, with no way of blocking it. Fortunately, I carry and eye mask! Secondly, the working desk didn't have a chair, which seems an odd omission.

2 Nights. 7/10

Its always been nice staying here the last handful of times. Unfortunately this time there was some suspicious stains on one of the covers, and despite paying for late checkout (1pm) we got woken up early both days we stayed, the first time by someone trying to come into the room. We understand mistakes happen though. And normally theres no problems at all. So we're still pleased with the venue.
