We had a twin room which was cold as the radiator wasn’t heating up on the first night but within minutes of reporting an electric heater was provided

Cold & draughty room
Average hotel. Dated. Staff were nice enough.
Travelled in December, was cold weather & the room was draughty & cold. Single beds. Duvets were thin, short & narrow.
Location was good for the tube & quiet area.

My friend and I stayed at Strathmore and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very quiet—we never heard our neighbors.

Perfect location for Royal Albert Hall. Very small room, but comfortably furnished. Radiator was very noisy, so slept with it off. Quiet late night bar was lovely.

Uncomfortable basement room...
Given a basement room. Annoying clanking or dripping in the ceiling from air-con late at night. Uncomfortably hard bed. Loud, shouty hotel decorators outside our windows at 7am.
