Gem in the making
What an amazing place this will be once the renovation is complete. The rooms are super cool, they need a little bit of a tidy and a little more attention on the cleanliness, but a gem in the making! My kids LOVED the bunk beds.

All the making to be an amazing venue
Lovely Hotel recently opened, my only gripe is they didn’t change the bins or towels in 4 days we were there.
Had dinner in the restaurant and it was exceptional food.
The staff were fantastic, had an amazing gym and it was a great stay just not perfect.

Absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed for the Beyoncé concert and the transport links were nearby and easily accessible, and staff were so helpful in navigating how to get to and from the stadium. The room was huge and had all necessary amenities, bed was super comfy and it was a quiet area. The hotel decor is lovely, and the staff were all fantastic. We will definitely return!

Good with some issues
Stay was very good with lovely grounds and surroundings. There were a couple of frustrations - there were no towels in my room and I had to go to reception to collect some, and there was a long wait at the restaurant; I waited 1.5 hours for a caesar salad (including 15 minutes waiting to be served).
Otherwise a good stay and I would use them again.

I stayed here when it was Theobalds Park and the hotel is going through a full renovation which can make the place look totally unfinished.
The only negative was that there was no work desk in my room - but I was told that this is going to be rectified and most room do have a desk.
I would definitely stay again

Great, convenient and good price
It was great,
Very convenient, quiet location and relaxing.
I don’t know the details as to what was eco-friendly.
Didn’t do breakfast as price was too high.
Just have normal bedside tables, the wood stump and small box weren’t big enough or necessary.
