Amazing hotel!
This was a great hotel to stay at! The location is really close to multiple underground and bus stations. The staff were very accommodating and super friendly. The room was cleaned up everyday, which was greatly appreciated and the double room was perfect for two people. Definitely would stay here again if I go to London again!

6/10 Good

Cheaply modernised and tacky decor.
Cheaply modernised and tacky decor which I'm sure would resonate as posh for some. Some furnishings were already degraded.
