We stayed in a family room. It was a very basic room and simple breakfast, but it’s a central location and affordable price. No frills, but would stay there again

I like a perfect location 10min near Victoria station. Everything else was mediocre - clog in sink, tiny room, light directly to window. Continental breakfast without cheese or salami. Creaky floor, no soundproof between rooms on the floor. Good to spend a night-two between bus excursions from Victoria bus station. Hardly fits to stay longer.
