It was clean and had kooky decor including an all-green elevator. WiFi was decent at about 30 mbps upload/download. Room had coffee, bottles of water and plenty of snacks. Bed was comfortable, it felt clean and the staff was very kind and accommodating.

Felisa United States of America

The room was quirky, and really comfortable. We stayed in the "Trash City" suite, the bed was really comfortable, and the pillows raised a smile or two. The location is ideal for the Royal Albert Hall ( about 10 minute walk ).

Located in a great, central area of London. Staff was really nice. We had a very enjoyable evening in the hotel bar. Good amenities and very comfortable bed. The hotel decorations and 'exhibitions' reminded us of hotels you would normally find in Amsterdam.
