Great location, nice and clean hotel.

Pros: Location is just around the corner from the Royal Albert Hall, short walk to many London attraction and night live. Excellent for culture and sightseeing. The hotel rooms are spacious for this area, complimentary breakfast was good and they offered gluten free options. The room had everything we needed, incl. hot shower and good toiletries. All was nicely presented. Cons: The pre check in process was too complicated.

Useful location, besides more like a cost-cutting hostel

Pros: Location is really great; overall style is nice; area seems safe; Nespresso coffee and fresh orange juice was good; small place overall, thus not so many other guests and therefore not too busy; questions were answered decentralised via the chat-function on the Sonder app fairly quick. For our purpose it was good. The little breakfast each day was at least an option to save some £ while London is very expansive overall for people coming from €-countries. Cons: Rooms in basement (servants rooms) with no chance to open windows; unbothered staff mostly hanging around on their reception sof
