The room was small, but it was clean, so I had no complaints. There wasn’t any air conditioning, but the ceiling fan was enough, and I slept well. Breakfast was not free, but location was really great. I enjoyed staying London.

This is a 3 star hotel. If you are traveling alone and don’t expect much from a hotel room in London, this is perfect. If you are traveling with another person or expect 3+ star amenities (AC, lift, etc) this hotel will disappoint you.

Nice, clean hotel. Not luxurious, but has everything you need. Did not try the breakfast, as we had to leave before they started serving it. There was a lot of streetnoise coming into our room all night. Some people doing some kind of business in a language I don't know were having very aggressive arguments right outside our window.

Great value for money, top location. Decent sized single room and a good level of cleanliness. Very happy with the water temperature and pressure in the bathroom as well. Friendly and welcoming staff, will definitely be back.
