Gloucester Road Tube Station: only 2 minutes away! (400 feet by foot)
Very good location. Comfy beds. Good neigbourhood and you could either take the underground or walk to the places you wanted to visit. I would recommend this hotel to my friends.
IcelandThe giant bed felt so good after staying in hostel bunks for a month!
AustraliaVery central and well connected. Room was adequate.
ItalyThe location is really nice Just a few minutes walk to underground Clean rooms Large variety of food in breakfast
United States of AmericaI had a room on the 16th floor and the view over the city was spectacular. For extra security you need to put the room keycard in the elevator to go up and I liked that. Room very clean and plenty of facilities such as ironing board, kettle, dryer and international plugs near the desk (european and american next to the uk stardard one). The hotel is at 5 min walk from the tube station and from supermarkets and eateries. Nice neibourhood to walk around at night.
ItalyFabulous views across the whole of London. Quick and friendly check in. Clean, neat and tidy.
United KingdomBuffet breakfast had many choices; but after 4 subsequent days a bit boring. Overall I would still rate Good, but not Excellent. One + block from the Gloucester Road Undergraound station which worked out wonderfully to get to all our sites. We had a great view of the city from our 16th floor room.
United States of AmericaIt’s neat to Gloucester road station And a lot of coffee shops and restaurants
Saudi ArabiaGood location. Close to the Piccadilly Line Underground station at Gloucester Road.
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was great and the location is very convenient.
