Very friendly lady at the desk when we left our bag and equally friendly lady when we collected. Quick service and hotel located very close to Liverpool Street station

Located opposite the train station, steep stairs down to the basement, but friendly helpful staff on site.

Great staff, very helpful, friendly and a pleasure to deal with.
- Tracy
Turn left out of Queen Street station and about 5 minutes walk to hotel. A few moments wait whilst the friendly receptionist dealt with another customer. Checked our booking, labelled our 3 bags and we watched her put them in the secure left luggage room. Collection was even quicker. Added bonus was being able to use the toilet.
