The thoughtful touches, like quality toiletries and in-room fridges, impress, while its central location places you steps from Oxford Street's dining.

charming stay at pub hotel

helpful staffcoffee teasmall room
the staff helped us alot. they let us keep our bags before check-in, that was quite helpful. the room was clean with tea and coffee. it also has a hairdryer and an iron, i was surprised. the taxi service was also very useful.
my room wasn't like the pictures. it was pretty small and there was no air conditioning, a little disappointing. carrying luggage up the steep steps was quite a challenge, i think.

FABULOUS Stay!

friendly staffpedestrian streetcomfortable roomhelpful staff
The staff was SO friendly and helpful! They even helped me book a taxi. My room was comfortable for the price. Plus, they offered help with my bags. That was great. There are LOTS of restaurants on this mainly pedestrian street!
I noticed the doors were a little noisy when people were stomping around upstairs. The sound carried.
