Breakfast was very basic, even for a continental. Bed was rock hard. Pillow was rock hard. Room was air conditioned which is nice. Bathroom was disheveled, with mould behind the shower and toilet, but otherwise clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

2/10 Poor

The single room I stayed in was literally a box! I had two pieces of luggage and I couldn’t move around the room. The carpet was dirty, the mattress was hard, the bathroom was gross. The only thing good was the location. Never ever again!!!!

8/10 Very good

A nice hotel if you’re just looking for a standard room to sleep in before heading out to sightsee during the day. The room was pretty quiet, no traffic noise or anything like that. And it was warm and fairly clean. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but not too bad. And the hotel is really close to the tube station so really handy getting to local theatres and attractions and it’s also close to fast food and coffee shops and grocery stores
