 We liked the location but sometimes it would take a while to get where we were going We wondered if it would be less time on the bus or underground if were closer to central London The mini refrigerator in the room was getting worn out The bathroom was small but adequate There is no elevator which was fine for us It s definitely an older building and it is a little worn in places We sat out in the court yard one early evening but left when another guest came out and started smoking The lobby is tiny 
 I traveled with my 21 year old daughter We liked the location because it was quieter than central London We had a twin room It was small but I think typical for England There were bus stops and underground stations close by One bus stop was across the street The British Museum is an easy walking distance The room was clean comfortable and air conditioned When we visited in July it was hot The staff responded to requests quickly and politely There were good restaurants right around the corner The neighborhood felt safe even when coming back later at night after seeing a play The only time we ate there was after we got back late from a day trip to Bath and Stonehenge and ordered room service It was just what we needed It was generally quiet We had a room on the inside We could here people walking back and forth above us
