Our stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room wasn't very spacious for taking photos inside, but it was suitable for a one-night stay. The layout was a bit awkward, but manageable. Be prepared for steep stairs to reach the upper rooms.

My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The location was great with easy access to the west end, shops, and cafes, but the room was too small, hot, and noisy, making it hard to get a good night's rest. The dining options were fantastic though, and the overall value for money considering the central location was fair.

The hotel's location is fantastic, close to London St Pancras and Euston station with nearby shops, pubs, and easy access to transport. The rooms are a bit small, and the lack of double-glazing resulted in a noisy night due to street disturbances. The dining options are simple yet satisfactory, and the hotel is conveniently situated between Euston and St Pancras for easy commuting.

The hotel is in a convenient location, with easy access to local attractions and a fair price for Central London. The rooms, although small, were adequate for a one-night stay for one person. The bed was comfy, but one of them squeaked annoyingly. The dining experience was fantastic, although I had to leave a bit earlier than usual. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money.

The hotel's location was superb, within walking distance to many attractions like Camden, Oxford Street, and Chinatown, making it ideal for a solo traveler like me. However, the room, although clean, was small for three people, and the noise from a nearby compressor was constant during my stay.

The hotel was really clean, which is the most important thing for me in a hotel room. The layout is a bit awkward but nothing that can't be overcome. Watch out for the killer stairs if you're getting an upstairs room. The room was also spacious and clean, and they even gave us a £20 refund because of a pre-arrival call mix-up.

My stay at the hotel was just what I needed for easy access to the British Library and nearby institutions. The room, though quite small, was absolutely fine for a short stay. However, the noise from outside was a bit bothersome due to the lack of double glazing and some maintenance issues with the curtains. The location was perfect for me, being only a 3-minute walk from the underground station, but the noise from the surroundings was disturbing till late hours.
