Great value and comfy

very clean and comfortable with a good location for where I needed to be. Shower over the bath was a bit tricky to manage. I didn't use the catering service but it looked to offer quite a range of options. Great value for central London

Could do with bit of upgrading

Third visit to this hotel and like the location into London. Felt the hotel could do with a bit of upgrading now as a bit tired. Booked a standard room and wish I had gone for superior as was the first time in standard. Thought it would be a king size bed not double. Requested a high floor and not overlooking the track but got 6th floor and really noisy from the track. Found the hotel quite noisy in general by other guests and was surprised at that as didnt have anything like this before. Would I stay again probably not as other hotels at the same price.

The rooms need to be renovated especially the bathroom. The cleanliness needs to be improved . The light fixtures need to be checked . The light bulb at the entrance door needed to be replaced . The fridge cabinet door needed a fix . The clothes hangers are outdated and not easy to use . The tables and chairs are visibly old with scratches. The bathroom had rust stains in different places.
