Great value

Stayed here as we’re going to a concert in London but did not want to pay the extortionate London prices! The room was modern and large. Good shower pressure and a lovely, comfy bed. Lots of shops in the immediate area. The breakfast was fantastic with a huge choice of hot and cold dishes and fresh fruit. Would recommend if in the area

Our aircon was noisy, and couldn’t be adjusted. Then the ceiling unit started to leak on to the floor. We had to change rooms late at night, when we were in our night clothes, but were offered no compensation.

The hotel is fine, but lots of work going on in the original bus station.. The only negative was mattress was too soft, and only felt firm because of the wood base. Hot breakfast limited if you don't/can't eat pork sausages and bacon
