The hotel was a welcome respite especially as a middle of the night hotel change. The hotel staff was friendly and efficient. The room wonderfully airconditioned, with comfortable beds and good smelling towels. Easy to get most places from their location. The fridge allowed us nice cold water, a rarity in England. We felt totally safe.

Great Central London stay

The overall stay was good; the television reception needs improving - channels were scrambling all the time. The location was greet; near 3 major tubes that connected to all major lines; bus transportation was right out the door and the area was hospitable and inviting. Close to a variety of eating establishment, and the neighborhood was walkable.
