Nice Room

Nice quiet area, room was big enough for me being a single. It was a very hot night but the fan provided helped a little. The guy on reception was great, even popped outside in the garden occasionally for a chat, great customer service. Thank you.

Greeted by a lovely man at the front desk, helped us with our transport into London. Room was pretty spacious, double bed was comfy but sofa bed was average - very thin “mattress” and could just do with renewing and seat cushions could do with a deep clean. Overall not a bad stay, decent location

Everything was great apart from the Wi-Fi which is not good enough to stream anything and signal doesn’t reach all rooms. I’d recommend investment in this so that all rooms have good signal and the speed is sufficient for streaming.
