Arosfa Hotel London by Compass Hospitality

The twin room was exactly as described. It was very clean, with very crisp sheets and comfortable beds, though small singles. The loo was clean and modern with good toiletries supplied. The room is small, but typical of this style of property and the area in central London. We chose the hotel for the specific location close to UCL Hospital. The area feels safe. The staff member on check-in was helpful. We had to leave very early the next morning so we cannot comment on breakfast.

I've stayed in almost all the hotels around Kings Cross/Bloomsbury (Argyle Square, Cartwright Gardens etc) so can say that the Arosfa is just that bit nicer than most. It's slightly more expensive than the ones we normally choose, and it was definitely better: the room was not at all cramped, very swish bathroom, good breakfast. And the room had a really good fan - the hotels of this type in this area are often very hot in the summer and I was really impressed that the Arosfa has dealt with this problem. It was very late and rather wet when we stayed so we didn't get a chance to sit in the garden (which was a huge surprise - it was very unexpected to have outside space in this type of hotel in this area). We were at the back so had no traffic noise at all. (The hotel name is Welsh btw - it means 'a place to stay').

Very onvenient location. Even though the room faced the main road it was quiet and a bonus that there was a cafe in the bookshop opposite. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice for vegetarians, not just a minimal "continental" but a full buffet and the option of a cooked breakfast as well if wanted. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shower was excellent and the ensuite was nicely laid out even though small.

Amazing location, easy walk to Soho, west end, Chinatown, but also fairly quiet, no traffic noise (I was at the back of the hotel). Warm welcome on arrival, very sweet (compact) single room with great en suite shower. Nicely decorated, had a sense the rooms were all individually curated so it felt more boutique-y than most budget hotels. Great find, this will now be my go-to London hotel.

Great value and excellent location! The rooms are small and cozy - very charming. Decorated to feel like you're stepping back in time. Terrific coffee shop and bookstore across the street!
