Location is very convenient. I'd visited the Sumner in the past before the pandemic. The room I was given was adequate, with a decent shower, small fridge and acceptable bed. The room furniture, however, was not in keeping with what I'd previously known; the desk chair in particular was soiled and over-used, the clothes bureau did not close, and the chaise had a tattered blanket draped over it. If you don't need to spend much time in the room, all that could be overlooked, but it was a different feel than I'd previously experienced.

Pleasant stay but needs a bit of attention.

Nice hotel close to the centre, near Oxford Street. Friendly staff, room could have been doing with a bit of attention, broken and loose floor tiles in the bathroom, residents next door arguing in the early hours of the morning, although that wasn't the Hotels fault. Pleasant stay but needs a bit of attention.

This is a very nice property. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room spacious and comfortable. The location was very convenient with nearby public transport, shopping, restaurants and parks. There is a lift on site, but also a couple of stairs. They also allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early in the morning. My only issue was with the shower. You cannot adjust the temperature or turn the water off when your hands are wet and the water is scalding hot. Had to use a face washer to grip and turn the taps. For safety the hot water temperature needs to be reduced. I would stay here again.

Misleading. Not a 4-star hotel.

The beds were comfortable, but the room is in great need of updates and more privacy. Multiple tiles in the bathroom were cracked, carpet is worn, chair provided at the desk dipped so much in the middle it was like sitting on a hole in the chair. The tv did not work. The door jam was not complete and there was space someone could look through into the room if they chose to. I would not stay there again.

I was pleasantly surprised at how cute this little boutique hotel was. I would definitely stay here again. Spacious room, Very comfortable, private bathroom, clean and quiet as long as the windows were closed. We opened them for a bit to get some fresh cooler air as we could not adjust the air conditioning and with them open there is quite a lot of street noise. Also seems like a safe neighborhood, but my husband did have his phone ripped from his hands just a block away so be vigilant.

Lovely stay

Beautiful small hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. It felt more like a large house than a hotel. Located in an upscale part of the city. We had a twin bed room that offered plenty of space. Beds and pillows weren't as comfortable as I'd hoped but were fine and we slept well. Bathroom was clean but floor tile could use some work. Air worked well to keep us cool. The only real downside was the odd way the elevators were built to drop you at the half floors, so no matter where you landed you had to go either up or down a half flight of stairs to get to your room (a pain when dealing with luggage or if you have mobility issues). Overall we really liked our stay and would stay here again in the future.

Great location and comfortable stay.

Excellent location and good service from the reception. Small details like wobbly bedside lights, a tiny TV at the far side of the room and a dated bathroom only let it down slightly. Overall, quiet and comfortable with plenty of local coffee, breakfast and drinking places nearby. Recommended.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel, but some room for improvement include providing at least breakfast options And ensuring that repairs are kept up. There was a broken tile in our bathroom, which posed a little bit of risk of cutting your feet. We put towels over this broken tile to Avoid injury

Nice staff and great location with lots of train options. Despite a beautiful and modern lobby the rest of the property is quite run down. My room had carpet and curtain wear/stains and the bathroom had some tile damage. Dated furnishings but a very large and spacious room which was great. Absolutely fine for a pragmatic business trip but definitely not ideal for an indulgent vacation stay.
