I'll start with the pros: location is great, a minute from Marylebone High Street. Rooms were clean but TINY, very very difficult to even have your suitcase lying flat in the room. WIFI is decent.
Cons: rooms are old and very small - anywhere else in the world I doubt this hotel could charge more than $50 a night. For example, one of our beds had an old spring just poking through the mattress. It all just feels very run down. One night we didn't have hot water, but otherwise it was fine.
Our major con was with customer service. Please note - this hotel does not offer proper luggage storage, but rather the luggage is left in the main lobby without any luggage receipts or tags. We were rightfully a little concerned about this and asked if our 2 small bags with valuable could be left behind reception or in one of the offices. This happened on Sunday 24/7 - the man on duty (who was lovely) required the permission of a woman at the neighbouring property. The woman on duty was incredibly rude, questioning why we were upset and dismissing our "behaviour" and putting this down to "cultural differences" (we are still in shock at how rude she was). We did get upset, at which point she stood her ground and was quite obnoxious towards us. Again, all we asked was that 2 small bags could be put somewhere a little safer - but this was considered too much of an ask. Overall, it became very clear that customer service i not a priority! We visit London about 5-6 times a year.
