Good hotel

Amazing location for the price of the hotel . Beds are very comfortable. Rooms are not massive but not to small. It’s very quiet considering the size of the hotel. My only negative would be the shower isn’t great but your able to run a bath fast. I would recommend this hotel and would happily stay again !

Great Value Hotel

This hotel way surpassed my expectations for the price paid. It was clean and well maintained and a great location in London. Really comfortable stay. It was a 1 night, late booking in December in London for single occupancy and was cheap compared to lots of other hotels in the area. It was a small room for 1 with a single bed but absolutely perfect. I'd definitely return. 3 of my colleagues also booked the same and were all equally impressed by this hotel. A great find.
