The hotel is dated with a narrow hallway, but it is located in a very quiet, convenient area within walking distance to the British Museum and the Charles Dickens Museum and the Underground. Soho and the Dominion Theatre are also fairly close.
Our room was clean but average to small in size, considering we had reserved a "triple" room. Had the third friend been able to make it, it would have been very difficult for all of us to fit. One bed was single, the other one double - both against a wall, which would have made it very uncomfortable for the second occupant of the double bed.
The bathroom was tiny, and I do mean tiny. It was hard to move about and we could only shower with the stall door open. Mind you, we are about 5'7". No toiletries. Not that they should necessarily be provided, but it would be good to know in advance. Thankfully, we were prepared.
It is probably best for a single traveller than for a family.
Breakfast was basic: toast, jam, cereal, tea and instant coffee, chocolate spread and peanut butter.
The staff was pleasant and polite and always present in reception.
