Great staff and good-sized rooms (we had a suite). Couldn't be more convenient for the Tube and good eating options around - Addie's Thai and Afanena Lebanese/Egyptian were both great.

Great Stay
Our family of four stayed for one night and we had a great stay. The only down side was the shower. There was no door and it was difficult to keep the water from going out into the bathroom. Otherwise, wonderful stay!

All the large rooms that can have an extra bed are in the basement, there were no windows in our room, and it is not advertised in the ad that these rooms are in the basement. Also, we were robbed of my wife´s bag while having breakfast in the hotel dinning room. Seems like an inside job. The Hostess sat the thief next to us, he took the bag without us noticing except for another guest who called it, but nobody from the staff moved a finger. I must say that the manager was very helpful and supportive after the fact, calling the police and helping us cancel credit cards and phone. I do not recommend this hotel.

Great location close to the tube and street with restaurants and shops. Our room overlooked a green space and was relatively quiet despite being so close to the main road. The breakfast was good and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The hotel decor was charming and modern. Would stay here again.

Avoid a basement room
Nice hotel and great breakfast but our room was in the basement with no window so felt a bit unsafe if there had been a fire

Great spot, but starting to show its age
It pains me to give this review, but after staying here eight times over the last eight years, I’ve noticed this hotel taking quite a hit. It’s starting to finally feel worn down And rooms need a serious refresher. I understand there was a minor remodel a couple years back in the common areas, but the rooms look the same way they did eight years ago And the wear and tear is really showing. The staff was great, however, the hotel is understaffed. Where the food used to be incredible, it’s mediocre at best now. This hotel is in a great area and the staff were tops, but as someone who saw this place in its prime, it’s just not what it was. It’s safe and perhaps a clean room is all one asks for, but knowing what this hotel use to be left me sad and needing to reflect it in my review.

Hotel is dated looking and way too much money for what you get. Staff was sufficient but not friendly with the exception of one person at check in. Area near hotel is a bit seedy. There are better places to stay for the price. I have stayed at other Indigo hotels but this one did not measure up.
