A lot of value for money

Very Nice hotel, good location, Nice staff. The neighbourhood felt safe. Absolutely worth the money. The breakfast was very good. It has a late check in - but since we could store our Luggage at the hotel in a safe room it was okay. The Rooms were always Nice and clean. Properly the cleanest hotel in london i have tried.

This is the third time i have stayed here. Check in has always been very straight forward and flexiable. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. There is no television or radio in the rooms which makes it quiet and relaxing after the hustle and bustle of going round London. The Continental breakfast is very good.
