Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located right in front of the tube station, making it very convenient for exploring the city. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch with a manager who was very attentive. However, the dining options were limited and not included in the price, which was a downside. The facilities, especially the air conditioning, were excellent.
The hotel is perfectly located right in front of the subway station, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were spotless and well-furnished, but the constant noise from ambulances passing by the busy street was a bit disruptive. The staff was welcoming and provided excellent hospitality, although the dining options were limited to help yourself basics. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service but some noise disturbances.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the beds were a bit dirty. The manager was fantastic and very hospitable, but the service overall could be improved. The location was convenient as it was just across from the tube station, but it was right in front of a busy street. The dining options were not included, but they were provided at reasonable prices. The facilities were decent overall, but some aspects need attention.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, the staff was super friendly, and the location was convenient, even though it was a bit far from the main attractions in London. The dining options were not included but reasonably priced. I enjoyed the facilities provided at the hotel.
