I needed a hotel room for a single night stay in central London. I was traveling alone and wanted a hotel at mid price range ie clean and tidy with a window. The room was GBP 150.00 for the night without breakfast. Overall I was pleased with the room and it was clean and tidy. The decor was also good and modern. I would recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Samantha

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The location was great for the price, but it was very noisy. The building is older so you can hear the people walking in the room above, people using the staircase, and people talking as though they were in the room with you. Other guests slammed their doors at different hours of the night as well. It is good for a night or two near the station but not for a longer stay.
