Rooms are a little smaller than the pictures. The shower is not well designed and leaks all over the bathroom. However, the staff is very good and the location is perfect for a Central London vacation.
Govind, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were kind and helpful, and the room was clean and well organised. I particularly appreciated the proper desk, the iron, and the shelf in the bathroom. The breakfast was reasonably good. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, which made travelling easy and convenient.
