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

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.
