It’s rare to find a convenient and reasonably priced hotel in London! Room was basic but clean and the bed was so comfortable (we don’t sleep as well as we did in London when we’re at home!). Location was great for the tube and everything we wanted to do. Would highly recommend.

Better than expected. The cleaning staff was great, and the rest of the staff was very helpful as well. The room had all the basics... could have used a refrigerator though.

Staff was excellent. We met Manual, one of the managers of the hotel who took our suggestions very seriously. We suggested improved ventilation and air conditioning for all rooms, as well as a micro wave oven and mini fridge for all rooms. All in all a great location and wonderful helpful staff.
