The room was small, but it was clean, so I had no complaints. There wasn’t any air conditioning, but the ceiling fan was enough, and I slept well. Breakfast was not free, but location was really great. I enjoyed staying London.

The location is excellent and the WiFi was strong, but beyond that, it was just a bed to sleep in. No A/C which I didn't know beforehand. Breakfast was just ok. If you don't plan on spending time in the hotel and just need some place to sleep, this will due just fine.
