The place was great, very convenient with the restaurant and the snack area with coffee and amenities. The only thing that was inconvenient was the Check in. Took us an hour after a long trip. The system was down or I don’t know what happened, but check in was at 3pm sharp and a long long line of people. The self check in was not available so that was very frustrating

The hotel has building works going on that you are not told about starting at 7 am when reported they don’t care also fire alarms that go off randomly . If you actually want a good night sleep on a trip to London do not visit here you have been warned . Oh and when you complain they tell you there are not interested they already have your money . You have been warned avoid this property at all costs .
