Great value, clean and comfortable beds. Central location. For the money you can’t fault it it!! Compact rooms but all you need for a nights or twos rest visiting London as a family. Small double bed and two singles in our family room. Great location! Friendly check in staff.

Could be better...

Very limited breakfast options. The single beds for the kids were ok but the double was very hard. Subpar ventilation. Good location near Victoria Station.
