we had a really nice stay with good service and in a great location. very comfy bed and very clean and easy to understand surroundings. only downside is there’s no curtain in the middle so can be very bright at night as the lights from outside the building shine in very brightly through the night, making it difficult to sleep. thank you very much for the accommodation and would definitely stay again.

Property is in a good area. A lot to do in walking distance. Close to tube and central London. Building condition on the outside looks good but when you walk in smells sour as water damage throughout the property. Rooms are very small. I knew booking the property the rooms were not large but even smaller in person. Cleaning crew is lovely and efficient but front staff are not very helpful.
