Gleaming mod cons in this gem of a small hotel, fully renovated in 2014, they gave us a rate that…read morewas fair for the area. Generously sized room was quite high tech, offering many LED lights, a desk with USB charging plus connectors to the big flat-screen smart tv, touch-screen panels instead of hanging tags to say "do not disturb," and all crowned by a very cool twinkling-light system like stars above the double-twin ("super king") bed.
Also a seriously large built-in closet, a single futon where a third person could have slept quite comfortably, a little refrigerator, and a fancy remote-controlled air conditioner (that we didn't require). The free wifi was brilliant, both reliable and fast, altho I didn't try to stream any video lol. And, don't laugh at me, the place really smells good.
Bathroom was tiny but also gleaming, had its own hi-tech light panel and lighted shaving mirror. The cramped shower boasted a rainfall head plus an extra hand-held wand, supplied with big thick soft towels and fancy soaps, much luxury in a confined space.
The Henley lays on a super continental breakfast (not a full English) including tea, coffee, toast, rolls, juices, boil-your-own eggs, croissants, cereals, yogurt, apples, cheese and meat slices, jams, Nutella and more. Served in a wonderfully bright glass sun room (not a dark chamber) that was built new in 2015.
Tucked away on a quiet street, we didn't hear much traffic, yet only a 2-minute walk to the Earl's Cross tube stop. Many pubs and restaurants by the tube also.
Minor complaints only: no bedside clock, extremely few channels on that beautiful tv, the beds were a bit firm for me, toilet was unusually difficult to flush, very balky and underpowered lift.
