Super friendly check in clerk. Breakfast was included in our stay. The beds were comfy! We stayed here to tour WB studios; it was about a 10 minute uber ride. It’s right across from the train station so easily walkable.

Great stay.

The greeting we received on arrival at 9.30pm from the night reception team was friendly and helpful we enjoyed a selection on hot food in the bar area with really comfortable sofas. The room was perfectly clean but the bed was quite hard I requested an extra duvet to use as a topper and this was delivered to the room quickly. Good nights sleep quiet hotel. Breakfast was delicious and hot very clean and again friendly catering team. Overall we had a lovely one nights stay made to feel relaxed and welcoming because all of the staff were so friendly makes all the difference.
