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

Room was really clean but a little tired. Rules were loose in the bathroom and the shower was held up with sticky tape. The staff were really friendly and professional and the location is great for RAH. Bed was nice and comfy which is the most important thing!!
