The hotel's location is a definite plus, being right next to the British Museum and close to the tube station. The rooms are spacious enough to manage large luggage but have some noticeable maintenance issues. The staff are not very welcoming, but the convenience of self-made breakfast and coffee shops nearby adds a bit of comfort to the stay.

The hotel is conveniently located near the British Museum and within walking distance of Holborn tube station. Despite some cleanliness issues in the annexe building, the overall experience was enhanced by the romantic ambiance. The dining options were limited, but the proximity to key attractions like theatres and Trafalgar Square made up for it.

The hotel's rooms with shared bathroom were dated and felt grubby, but the sheets and pillowcases were clean and made of cotton, which was a bonus. The rooms were very noisy due to the bustling main street traffic. Service was lackluster, with unfriendly and disrespectful staff. The location is convenient for exploring museum mile and theater activities, but the unfriendly service was a drawback. Dining was fair with limited offerings, and shared bathroom facilities were not ideal.
