Classic bed and breakfast hotel Liked · While the rooms are truly tiny, the staff are great, the shower nice, the bed comfortable, and the full English breakfast a highlight. I stayed here 20-30 years ago, and the main differences are the addition of really good WiFi and a markedly higher price. (The place has obviously been refurbished in the meantime - this is a compliment on the consistency, not a complaint about the age!) It's 5 minutes walk from a tube station and bus stops, and pretty close to the British Museum.

We stage one night in June on a fleeting visit to London. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and managed to get us checked in a little earlier than expected. The room was clean and tidy but was six flights of stair up and on a very hot London night, despite a fan, was difficult to sleep. Other than the heat the hotel was good.
