Sanderson

We stayed for 2 nights in September 2024. The room is spacious, clean, and neat. The bed and the pillows were comfortable. There's a safe, hairdryer, and a fridge in the room. There's also a pair of dumbbells with some instructions, which we thought was fun and neat! The only annoying thing was the curtains. It want only one pair of curtains as in any hotel room but multiple small windows (I think 5) each with a shutter and a blackout curtain. So, every night we had to pull them down one by one. There's no iron in the room, but we asked for one from the reception. The staff were friendly and helpful when we asked them to extend our check out time and to store our luggage for some time. The gym is big and has multiple cardio and strength machines, as well as two sets of dumbbells with various weights. The breakfast is expensive compared to breakfast restaurants nearby. You either pay £26 for the cold buffet (cheese platter, cold meats, yogurt, fruits, and cereal) (see the pics and video) or pay £30 to get that + your choice of a hot dish (eggs or pancakes).

Excellent central location, the rooms are spacious by London standards, quirky design but convenient and great service. AC is working fine which is great if you are visiting during summer. On the downside, the amneties were limited. The place is super busy and since it is centrally located, you could hear the street noise during the night.

Great location. Minutes away (by walk) from London's center (Oxford, Regent st. etc...) Didn't get a 5 star vibe though...4 stars is more accurate. The building is pretty old. The doors make this horrible squeaky sound and the hallway has a horrible, old and dusty smell. We couldn't breathe from that smell until we entered our room. Luckily that smell was only in the hallway because if it was also in my room I'd switch it a thousand times. They should really do something about that hallway smell. We were on the 1st floor, don't know about the other floors. The bed is pretty small, if u share it with someone u don't have much moving space as you sleep. Plus, I had to request some basic things to be brought to my room as I checked in such as a vanity kit and shower cap, instead of them waiting for me in my room as I arrive. Very nice gym for sport lovers. Other than these maintenance issues, Sanderson is a really nice hotel. Kind staff, great location. Big, spacious and well designed rooms (though the room looked better online) , but I wouldn't rate it as 5 stars.
