AC was a godsend. Room was well-kept and sheets were comfortable. The hallways were a bit difficult to navigate and the beds were quite close together. Very creaky floors.

This cute little place by far exceeded our expectations. The beds were comfortable and the place was clean . Location was amazing, so close to a lot of amenities. The park close by was beautiful. My only complaint is the walls are paper thin as we could hear the people in the adjacent room the whole time. I couldn’t figure out the coffee maker but it wasn’t a problem as they offered cappuccino and latte’s in the lobby. The air conditioner was a life saver as London was very hot.

We had a great stay on a Sunday night, room was spacious and clean, and had a nice large shower too. Air conditioning was good and kept the room cool so did do the job unlike some hotels we've stayed in in the past. We didn't hear any noise from other rooms but I don't know how busy it was when we visited.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely little hotel. It’s in a wonderful location, the room was well-appointed and seemed new, and it was great to have someone at the desk 24/7. Very good value for the money. We initially had problems with the AC but, thanks to chatGPT, discovered that the thermostat was set to a power saving mode. Once we follow ChatGPT’s instructions, the AC worked great. We definitely hope to return.

Nice small hotel. The location is perfect. The room was always missing things like Kleenex, coffee and we have to asked every day. Also the window was broken and bedding a little too soft but ok. The price versus quality is very good and staff very polite and were responding right away to all the missing objects in our room.
