A very comfortable night in a central but peaceful location.
Booking network, August 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
It was a peaceful hotel in an excellent location for Euston and walking around Bloomsbury and further afield.
Booking network, June 2026, rated 9/10 by this guest
The only downside was that my room was near a high-traffic area, so there was some noise from people passing by, particularly when the main door was slammed or when guests spoke loudly at night.

Really friendly staff at breakfast, caring, many vegan options btw, super location, more than a fair price for London - everything is easy accessible, small rooms but with everything you need (no AC in our room but a ventilator), however just keep in mind that there is no elevator!

Room was very small, and the shower was tiny!

Slightly small rooms and not the most modern but that in itself was slightly charming.
