Angela Moore's Review of Fifty-Four Boutique Hotel

The Queensgate is bang opposite the beautiful Romanesque building of the Natural History Museum, on a very busy, very noisy road.

This is more B&B than boutique hotel. Downstairs, a single large room serves as a bar-lounge-café. Comfortably battered leather sofas are grouped on bare floorboards, in front of huge windows that overlook the hurtling Queens Gate traffic. Walls are painted a cheery lavender and hung with old-fashioned London Underground posters and black-and-white photos of London. There’s a long bar counter, backed by a wall of bottles. A contemporary fireplace (turned off) and a wall-mounted TV (turned on) give finishing touches.

The hotel has the faint air of a student bar in Clerkenwell, or a trendy youth hostel, which casual, young, black-clad staff do nothing to dispel. However, it is fairly funky, and a fun alternative to the narrow-bedded B&Bs that abound in this area.

The rooms
Broad, scruffily carpeted stairs lead up to the 26 rooms over four floors. (There is a lift as far as the second floor.) The hotel could do with a facelift in areas and if occasional dirty carpeting, smeary mirrors and grubby paintwork are going to bother you, definitely book elsewhere. The greying towels in the bathrooms are another turn-off. Also, there is a lot of street noise on street-facing rooms; light sleepers will not cope here and are advised to get a room at the back.

Standard doubles are smallish, with zip-linked queen beds. There is a DVD-player and chunky old-fashioned TV in every room (retro?) There are smart cubby-hole wardrobes, with hairdryers and safes. Broadband and wifi are available for a cost of £9.95 per 24 hours. Bathrooms are contortionist-small, with effective-looking showers over deep, short tubs. Extractor fans clunk loudly into life when you turn the lights on. (If you’re going to book a double, try and wangle number 7, which has exceedingly high ceilings and, best of all, a small balcony).

Deluxe doubles are hugely spacious, and also have high ceilings; bathrooms are also bigger in these rooms and have the same over-tub showers. Beds are ziplink. These rooms have the addition of an armchair and a desk.

The Queensgate has a duplex suite, with a double bed downstairs and two more beds up a flight of stairs, which would be good for families with children over six. There’s another junior suite in the basement, with a patio attached.
