We enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly. The property is beautiful even though there are some items that need updating. Nothing crazy. Just details I noticed. But I would stay here again. These items wouldn’t prevent me from booking again. It’s really close to the tube so it’s very convenient.

We had an excellent experience at Melia. The staff were very kind and always helpful with questions. Check in and check out were very smooth. The room was very comfortable. The location was great too. Out of the more crowded areas of the city and near a tube stop with good food nearby. Would definitely return.
