Rooms ok, typical English breakfast with bacon, scrambled eggs and beans in the morning. It's hard to find something good to eat. Instead, it is located very far from the center of London, needing half an hour's ride with a bus that comes in 30 minutes to the end of the subway, from where it takes another 45 minutes to get to the center.

Hotel OK, rooms alright, breakfast is included but, some of the seating in the dining area need renewing. There is an excellent noodle bar right next door - been there twice now and would return tomorrow!!

Easy to book via Expedia. On arrival, we were met with friendly reception staff who explained everything easily. We parked in the car park over the road and was informed that we pay there when we leave (fingers crossed that's ok). …
