Loved the decor and relaxed atmosphere. I was only staying for one night on a flying visit to catch up with old friends but it was all hassle free and I slept like a log! So nice to wake up right in the middle of Bloomsbury 😀

Emily, United Kingdom

Clean rooms, showers and toilets. Very helpful staff.
