The staff were great: very helpful, attentive, kind and ready and willing to help. It's very close to lots of great places and within walking distance of Victoria Station. It's a quiet and safe area. Please note that you have to use the stairs as there are no elevators. This was perfect for me as I am solo travelling. I am very satisfied with the booking. They also offer a baggage storage service and early check-in for £15.

Clean, comfortable. A little small but it’s within walking distance of everything you need. Staff was helpful telling us about parking rules. All in all worth it if you want downtown London without paying an arm and a leg
