This was a great hotel option. Convenient and lovely. But heads up— there is no elevator. If you have big luggage, thick can be hard. Staff were amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice hotel, good size room, clean and tidy. Only issue is we had a room on the ground floor close to reception so very noisy particularly on a morning.

We had a lovely stay, the room was clean and a good amount of space for two people. Check in, check out was smooth and staff were kind and helpful with storing our luggage. We will definitely be back again as the area was perfect.

I had to laugh at the name, but it turns out it is the last name of the person who started the hotel and the college. It was a short walk to the British museum, which i recommend. Lots of character and very comfortable.

Great place in a quiet area of London

Just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross. Property is down a very quiet street which is rare for London. Lovely, big bed and great shower. Only a short walk to Russell Square/Southampton Row, where there are ple ty of pubs & restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini break
