Jackie (director) was amazing. She took the time to talk to us and fixed the smallest of problems with such a happy, nothing-is-too-much-trouble attitude, which we appreciated. Just lovely!

Perfect location

Pros: Location is everything. Only a few minutes walk to the tube station so save lots of money by moving around like the locals do.
Cons: My room didnt have the basics, no soap....I had to ask concierge for soap and shampoo. It was offered in a note left in the room. But not there
Close to everything. Rooms in London can be very small and tight so if you require space be sure to booked the superior rooms as standard can be very boxy.
