This room was the size of shoe box, hot and stuffy. The shower was so small my husband who is 6 foot couldn't get in. The view from the window was a dumpsite with rubbish piled high outside. I'd forgotten my ID to check in even though I had all the emails, and a bank card, the women on reception wasn't listening and kept saying I needed to go home to get my passport, we live 50 miles away.

The room was little but very well designed to offer comfort. Cleaningness is excellent. TV offers also connection to streaming services such as You Tube, Netflix, etc. Complimentary water, tea, cookies were very nice too. At arrival the receptionist took our luggage to custody because we were too early. We went for a long ride in London and at return our luggage was already in our room. Very good!

Be aware that the room may not be as advertised. We booked a double room but on arrival found that the bed was a small double (queen size). The duty manager insisted at first that it was double, however after some discussion she admitted it was queen size but refused to give us the room we had paid for.

Just for sleep
It is a very small hotel and ideal if you need a place to rest/leave your things. It is near the train station and seems ideal if you are leaving early for the Eurostar. Good service, and near some good restaurants.

Nice place but unless the wi-fi is fixed stay away
The rooms were very modern while a little small. The main problem was that the wi-fi signal was so weak you could not log in and the TV also hardly worked due to the weak signal. So effectively no TV or wi-fi. All else was OK but there are really important on bsiness.

A very modern, clean, and well appointed double room. Bed was very comfortable. Room is very small so not much space to put things, similar in size to Premier Inn hub hotel. The en-suite bathroom equally well appointed and modern. The air-con was excellent. The sash windows rattled in the windy conditions outside so best use a towel or paper serviette in the gaps. My room was on the 3rd floor so 6 flights of stairs to negotiate as there is no lift. Wi-if speed variable. Seemed odd to have to pay a £25 damage waiver when checking in. For a £100 a night room, can’t imagine much damage is ever done. These waivers always create a negative situation of mistrust between the hotel and guest.
