Booked a room for 7 nights at this budget hotel for a seemingly impossible (low) price. This little townhouse hotel exceeded our expectations; modern attractive decor in rooms, comfortable beds, awesome shower and very clean throughout. …

Very nice and clean. Staff very polite and professional. Good balance quality place and well located.Internet a bit slow and my single room was surprised small but to be honest for sleep and have a comfortable shower was no needed more.I recommend!

I know London hotel rooms are small - but this was so tiny I had problems finding space for my case which was a carry on (it ended up on the bathroom floor)Windowpanes so thin that I thought they were open, as I could hear every sound from outside (even though I was on the very top floor).Noisy drains, but they were promptly fixed (thankfully) and no wifi in the room (it was on the very top floor).Very clean, nicely decorated - and extremely friendly staff - so if you dont mind the above - this is great value, not shabby at all (like lots of London hotels) and in an excellent location.

What was supposed to be a deluxe room turned out to be something quite different. A room so small that there was no room for a chair. fair to say the facilities in the room were clean and as you would expect for a deluxe room. …

I have to say this review isn’t a good one. From the get go the reception staff were rude. They forced me to tap my card and pay, when I had paid 3 days prior. …

Arrived with our daughter and son in law. They checked in and were given a room on the first floor. My husband and I who are almost 80 were given a room on the third floor. Not the best idea. …

Friendly staff and comfortable sleep.|Room was up a lot of stairs though and needed some attention (wardrobe door hinge broken, shower hadn’t been cleaned properly as previous occupants hair on wall) and WiFi non existent on high floors. Compact and ideal for one night but not long term.
